How long does it take for Poloniex to process withdrawals "Awaiting Approval"

[jeffthebaker]

I made a Litecoin withdrawal to an online merchant. The merchant uses a timer- if the currency is not sent within the alotted time, the transaction is cancelled. Dumb of me, but I sent the coins directly from exchange to merchant. Unfortunately, the withdrawal did not go through automatically, probably because I'm on vacation so this took place from a new IP. I sent a support ticket to hopefully speed up the process. Asked a mod if it's possible to cancel a withdrawal awaiting approval, and it's not (coolio).

Poloniex promises that withdrawals will be manually approved within 24 hours, but I have far less than that time so I'm fairly anxious.

i think the withdrawal at poloniex is normal now,,
i hope your coin is back to your account,, if the merchant cancelled the deal

I hope it won't take more than 24 hours, sometimes they manually verify each and every transaction because whether the withdrawal has been made you or the different person. But definitely, they will process the withdrawal without any delays once they manually verify everything.

i think its depend on how busy the network to process the withdrawals because sometimes when i made withdrawals, i don't waited too long and its completed in just 10 minutes, but the other time, its need almost 2 hours. beside that, we need to think about how much poloniex process for many withdrawals in the same day with us.

I had been experienced just like this before that my withdrawal still on process over than 24 hours and usually this is happening because your poloniex account wasn't use for trading that's why they will investigate your account but nothing to worry if their contact support already respond your problem usually your withdrawal will approve soon

Out of curiosity, what coin are you trying to withdraw?  I had this happen once when I made a withdraw of a large amount of DASH (like 50 or so).  There was no explanation for why it was held up and after about 12 hours it went through.  That was maybe a month ago for me.  Today and yesterday I was able to withdraw DASH (close to 2k USD both times) very quickly.

I am not going to use the "I" word but I have to say the resemblance to cryptsy's last days is disturbing and only growing more so.

Poloniex has in their terms and conditions that withdrawal is within twenty four hours. When I make my last withdrawal last time it take less than 10 minutes and my wallet was credited. My advise to you is to be patient for the 24 hours to elapsed and if you did not receive your payment then know that something went wrong.

I just withdraw in poloniex and its already 24hourrs and still waiting for approval im starting to think that this is a scam i hope it arrive fast because its already 48hours i dont expect that it will take that long 🙏🙏 other saying that with there withdrawal it just take less than 10minutes so i started to panic.

[antemartic]

I'm waiting about 65 hours for 1btc withdrawal. Never again will use them. They don't respond.

[alyssa85]

It shouldn't take long at all. Tip: don't use a vpn to access poloniex, because their algos flag it. And send in small amounts, that are under your limit.

[antemartic]

Today is 5 days waiting approval. http://prntscr.com/f7nhbr .  Where I can report them?

How long have you been a member of Poloniex? Some of the folks on Reddit were suggesting that it was only new accounts that were having problems:

I've just successfully withdrawn some bitcoin today - it went through smoothly, as normal.

However, I've had an account with Polo since 2014, and don't use VPN's and tend to withdraw to the same address each time. This might be why their algo is automatically approving all my withdrawals.

For the new member of Polo: you need to establish a track record before they automatically approve all your withdrawals. Also, don't use VPN's.
