Payments business PayPal has been hit by technical hitches in the UK which has led to some transactions being held for security checks.
A spokesman for PayPal, which is used on eBay as well as other websites to transfer cash securely, said the business has been having "a few issues" over the last few weeks which have affected a small proportion of customers.
I used it for the Nexus promo, and it went through alright, so maybe it won't affect you...but just a warning in case!
EDIT :
Changes have been made to its system to speed up the process when customers transfer funds from their PayPal account to their regular bank account. The process, which previously took three working days, is now meant to take a few hours.
AHA! That explains it! And a nice improvement, if they get the bugs ironed out :D
