You'll get your money for sure, when you'll  get it is another story.  It all depends on how the transfer is made.  If it is an ACH (Automated Clearing House) bank to bank type transfer, then it could take a day or up to 3 days.  ACH transfers usually happen in batches,  I think about 3 times a day.  And there's different types of ACH transfers, fast and slow.  Fast is usually one day.  There's info online about how ACH transfers work and how long they take.  Then if you're transferring to your debit card, that's a different type of transfer I think, and it can happen much faster.     The information about how long it should take should be on coinbase,  because it's pretty much up to them which type of ACH transfer they select and the speed they want it to happen at.  Faster costs them more in general.  But I've made several transfers from coinbase to my bank and I have always gotten the money, I don't remember how long it took though.  You will get the money, I just don't know how fast, you'll have to get that info from coinbase.     ...

An ACH transfer from Coinbase to Paypal could take up to 3 days.  Check coinbase and see how long the transfer should take.  I'm sure coinbase has that information somewhere.  Transferring money from coinbase to your bank or Paypal doesn't happen instantly, unless you specifically select an instant transfer and pay the added fee, if instant transfer is an available option.   ...

SamP89.  I got my money.  It was held for exactly 72 hours.  I made a sale after that and the funds were immediately available.  So it is unclear whether a hold will happen all the time or just randomly.   ... View more

I have to say that after my first 72 hour hold, I was able to make another sale and that money was available immediately.  So I don't know if the hold  is just random, for the very first sale, or it depends on which coins you sell.   ... View more

I just sold some crypto so I could purchase something that was on sale.  They put my money on a 72 hour hold.  Luckily the sale is valid for 5 days or I would have sold the crypto for nothing.     I moved my Coinbase money to Paypal thinking Paypal is easier to use and would be just as fast with transfers.  Unfortunately not.  I will be moving my money back to Coinbase.  It's too bad because Paypals fees seem to be lower, but locking up my money for days just doesn't work for me.  I hope Paypal changes this soon.   ...
