@PayPal_Martina wrote: Hi there Steve999w,   Thank you for your post and welcome to the community!    Usually, the maximum amount of time that the transfer might take is 72 hours. Once it shows as completed on your PayPal activity, you should be able to see the money in your bank account within a couple of hours.   If a withdrawal remains pending for 72 hours, it may be as we will occasionally hold a withdrawal for further review. This review can happen for various reasons but, in general, is because our internal security system reviews every transaction before it's released in order to provide a safe online payment service.    You can find more information about it here.    Hope this helps! Martina  Martina,   Can you please address some of the many more messages on this thread related to pending payments?   Your answer to the above amounts to a non-answer, frankly.   We want to know why our money is being held by PayPal, especially beyond the stated 72 hours!   I am outraged at PayPal's pitiful handling of these queries and had been blissfully unaware of just how poor your service was until I experienced the same 72 hour+ pending issue.   I am currently waiting on a relatively large sum of my money to be transferred to my bank account; I have just had the call to one of your distant customer service agents terminated by them because it was "knocking off" time and my case was clearly too problematic for them to be bothered to deal with.   Reply to me!!   Phil ...
