Omg I'm so sorry to hear that. You can tell that it is completely random because I withdrew two transactions that totalled around £250 which happened immediately but I then go and withdraw a tiny £12 transaction and that is the one that goes into "security" pending. I do also think that if you have funds that are not available to you immediately that they do actually release them instantly. I had two ebay transactions that were around that amount and it wouldn't even let me touch that money until either I provided the tracking saying it arrived or I could have ended up waiting up to 21 days for it. This is entirely deliberate and considering fees are taken off you really shouldn't be holding on to peoples money for the interest and you REALLY SHOULDN'T say it will take up to 2 HOURS (this isn't implied or hidden it's right there when you withdraw money) when that is not true. Banks don't get away with that and i do believe that PayPal has to abide by much the same rules as banks. Its a shame that there isn't really much of an alternative to using PayPal when it comes to using eBay so looks like I've just got to put up with it??
