How long have you been waiting for Paypal cashouts ?

not sure if anyone is keeping this thread alive but my funds are in my paypal account probably was there this morning just logged in to peak. So it took about 5 days (maybe 6)

*gets paranoid that he mistyped the email address for the account*

hey guys ever heard about the words.. planning, scheduling? we all know now it takes days so plan on this instead of whining

well that was kinda uncalled for its supposed to take 5 business days when people wait longer they ask just in case something to lost I know I do

my typing sucks if there is a delay in the system then I dont worry about it however if everyone who submitted a request the same time I do got their funds then its very likely that i messed up something on my end or maybe paypal messed something up and I should check

now go flame elsewhere okay? rofl some people

I cash out every week and it usually takes the 5 business days but call the minute it exceeds that. Billing will look at the specific transaction and get it expedited if it is over 5 business days. I have never had a problem after calling and usually see the transaction within a few hours of calling.

I'm calling later on today. This is utter bullshit.

well putting an information like "5-10 business days" instead of 0-5 would save a lot of anger..... besides the fact that the process is just some bytes of automated server action ..... i have worked 3 months pretty hard for my money so i really have a reason to be pissed..... for me there is no reason for that action. two days are also enough to pass some security checks if needed. i also wonder why a direct debit to my country costs damn 15$ and takes 15 business days, while paypal can manage this for 0$ in 4-5 days. for me thats a prove for linden pushing your money around for some days to get extra cash with it.... and for the flamer: plan a 0-10 days time for a process in your rl business and you are out of the ring within seconds..... spare your (sorry) dumb comments on that!

In the past month all of my withdrawals have ranged from 12 hours to 4 business days. I have only ever waited past the 5 days once, one hour after 5 business days had passed I emailed billing, got the money within hours.

I dont know why i didn't transfer the money to my paypal account, but i'll soon receive a big check from slexchange.com(1.5K usd)

i wish i did transfer money to paypal, i need to use it right now. i hate to go to the bank... and deposit it in.

After waiting 7 business days, I finally called the direct line to LL this morning and they said I will get it by this afternoon. So hopefully when I get home from work I will have some monies waiting for me.

Direct debit?

i have paypal cashouts waiting from the 11th thats more than 5 work days its now the 19th linens time to hire some more workers i think or everything else is broken why not that too sheesh will they ever get this stuff right

Still waiting here too.... I think I might start using SLExchange instead. I hear they are much faster.

Just now got mine i requested on 4/10.

Yep mine just came in tonight too.

She helped to fix the problem. 3 big cheers for a good Linden !

i guess they process the lot on the same coupla days. i requested mine on monday this week, and just got it today. came back here to see whether steve got his yet, and was feeling bad in advance in case he hadn't.

now i just had to log in to paypal, convert my balance to pounds, and request a transfer to my bank. another five-seven days.

april 15th and STILL WAITING!

I have often wondered if they prioritise the larger requests over the smaller ones. I cash out whenever I exceeed 1K USD and have never waited for more than 3 business days. Maybe the speed is determined by the amount?

Well instead of cashing out several times a week, why dont people just cash out once a month or so?
It would def. decrease the number of cash out requests and they will be processed faster..

5 business days, and still waiting...

I usually cash out 2 to 3 times per month.

Try cashing out over $10,000 and you will see why people cash out several times a week.

Your hunch is correct. My largest transfers are already processed. The smaller ones are still waiting. They are not done strictly in chronological order.

It took six business days for the last one.

I typically sell off L$12K or so at once when I do a cash out. So I don't know why an earlier poster indicated that selling "Over L$10K" might be an issue.

Now, I suppose if your transaction history doesn't appear to have sales that support that kind of volume, a sudden sale of L$10K or more might trigger a risk assessment check on you. But it depends a lot on your documantable cash flow.

If a certain Land Baroness were to cash out her L$ excess, and was restricted to doing her sales in lumps of L$10K or less, she'd likely have to do it several times a day.

In general, the Risk Assessment API is for person to person transferrs of huge sums, and for sale or purchase of huge sums on third party services. If you're using Lindex to buy and sell, you may not always get the best rate, but LL has full details of where it came from and where it is going, so I would imagine that they get less jumpy about large transactions there.

Consider this: In cashing out in one sale of L$10K versus ten sales of L$1K, the smaller sales require paying LL ten seperate processing fees. At least in terms of the PayPal transfer to my bank, that is a difference of $9 USD in fees, or over L$2,600 wasted by cashing out in ten smaller payments.

Put in a request on the 20th, just got it. Much faster this time.

Thanks LL!

Ceera, I suspect the $10,000 they were refering to was USD, not $L.

Man, I wish were cashing out $10,000 a month.


huh, that's good to know. I guess I'll start waiting longer between cash-outs, to let my balance build up a bit more.
