Ok, I have seen a few other people in the Philippines commenting on this and I am curious just how widespread this is. Normally when you withdraw to a visa card, it takes about 24 hours to go from pending status to completed status. Then you wait about 3 to 5 days more and you get the money on your card. But that is not happening now, there is a big slowdown with people waiting more than 6 days for it to go to completed and it hasn't. I am curious if people using this facility in other countries are experiencing the same delays.
With the rate of USD getting lower by each day, more delay means more money lost. I'm sorry to hear that.
Actually, I don't think the delay would bring about any money lost since you will be withdrawing in local currency and paypal will lock the exchange rate when you initiate the withdrawal and not when the money gets to your account.
eddy2099, it is a withdrawal to visa so the bank does the conversion, after it arrives. I had one that got lost in the system for a month and the exchange rate went down by 5% and I took the hit.
i have the same problem my self . i live in israel and my last withdraw to visa is pending a week now . paypal told me they had system errors and the funds sould be back to the acount

i better now use my visa card as of now since you guys get a lot of problem specially me. im in philippines. or you better send money to your own name through www[dot]xoom[dot]com maybe it will help you.
Nah I think you can send your money through bank account when your in Philippines. This sucks as well considering that they should have not allowed paypal transactions in withdrawal to visa or debit card if they have some problems with it. I mean it is my first time to have this problem when withdrawing my money and it makes me feel bad because it would be ok if they have just transfered the money back into our paypal account again. And also we can try other alternative right?
Just entered the Second Week of waiting with no email replies from paypal, no official news, nothing. Where's my money?
