PayPal
Instant money transfer took 3 to 4 days in emergency

I sent money to my son for an emergency through PayPal's send money feature, which claims that anyone with an e-mail address will receive it instantly. That is a lie, because my son was told that he would receive the money in 3 to 4 days. That does nothing to help with an emergency today.

The money was taken out of my account in minutes, but it takes 3 to 4 days to get to his bank??? Something is not right about this, and I want to know where my money is for those three days. I sent money to help my son, not PayPal's cash flow.

I can no longer feel confident that PayPal is on the up and up, and I am going to change all my accounts to another bank tomorrow. If they will lie to you, then they are not to be trusted in my book. I posted this in the hope that it will keep someone from dealing with the hardship that my son is dealing with now, thanks to PayPal.
