Withdrawal Holds

Hi everyone,

 

I've recently been selling on ebay and understand the holds from ebay's side until my tracking shows as delivered and funds are released to PayPal. I'm having a problem with PayPal where my withdrawals are being put on hold for 72 hours. I accepted the first time (24hrs), even the second time (72hrs), but now this has been my 6th payment in a row put on hold. First one was for 24 hours and thereafter, the following 5 have been for 72 hours. How do I stop this cycle? What more proof does paypal need outwith me already confirming my bank account and already going through several payment holds?

Withdrawals are 2-72 hours in the U.K.

"we occasionally hold a withdrawal, for further review."

 

They are holding ALL of my withdrawals for review, not occasionally holding one. After the first, that should be me until there's a drastic change in the value/I change my withdrawal medium etc..... It doesn't make any sense what so ever. Paypal telling us to **bleep** it up is only pushing customers away.

And just to add the cherry on top of the cake, my latest 72 Hour check for over £500 was due to be completed at 11.39 today but paypal decided my account had to be limited until I provided ID, which cancelled the transfer. I quickly supplied the ID, account limitation was lifted and I went to withdraw the money again, yip you guessed it, another 72hour hold, on the same withdrawal that has already had one so 144 hours in total. How can anyone at paypal say this is random when I have now had SEVEN checks in a row.
