You might want to search this forum and get in touch with users that were able to withdraw funds to their UK Revolut account. I remember having red about it here.
Did you exceed yearly to up limit ?
I would contact :r: in app support chat.
I withdrew many times from Paypal to Revolut-took around 24hrs to reach account.
I’m UK based aswell
Yes mate they are taking forever to respond. The initial £0.01 from PayPal to check my account went in fine but for some reason Revolut are not taking £140 or bouncing it back. I’m nowhere near my limit.
Surely PayPal aren’t lying to me about the Payment being received. This is very strange. I’m going to contact the financial ombudsman if I don’t get a better update tomorrow and after speaking to PayPal again. Someone is responsible for money being in limbo and passing the buck is just unprofessional from either party.
“Thank you for contacting PayPal regarding your concern, my name is Joyce and I am pleased to help you.
I understand this matter concerns you and I am much willing to assist you. I have thoroughly checked that the email you have just received from us regarding your bank declines PayPal funded payments was an error, please know that this is not the experience we want you to have here in PayPal.
Nothing to worry, I can confirm that your pending withdrawal transaction for £140.00 GBP will be posted to your bank account on the 4th of May.
Bank withdrawals takes up to 72 hours to complete. We use Automated Clearing House system to process electronics bank transfers because it’s secure and for free. I am afraid that we cannot expedite the process.
Keeping the PayPal environment secure is always our utmost concern so we try to identify patterns that don’t match your usual activity. Many banks and credit card companies work this way too.
I humbly ask for your extended patience and understanding.”
Regular bank transfers from Paypal to Revolut should work. As long as you’re using the account details as shown under local.
I suggest once more to search this forum and contact users directly that use Revolut and Paypal in the UK and discuss with them how they set it up.
The details you postet here don’t seem to tell a consistent story. Because Revolut’s support chat suggests that Paypal said they know that a transfer already wasn’t accepted by Revolut but won’t bounce back (and support is right, that’s just not how bank transfers work, there is no back and forth communication between sender and receiver.)
And then there is the other text snippet that you posted where someone else says Revolut won’t release the funds and you should use the card instead, and that is also true, but something completely different.
The only problem I now can imagine is that you tried a direct debit, Paypal noticed that the account does not support this and blocked all transactions for this account, also outgoing transfers.
