Is there a paypal withdrawal limit?

You will have to double-check on PayPal but I remember something about them removing limits at which you had to pay a withdrawal fee. It used to be that you could withdraw any amount, but you had to pay a fee for under £50. I'm fairly sure they no longer charge, but please check the PayPal info.

Actually I've just checked for you and PayPal do not charge for a standard withdrawal to a UK bank in GBP....but I still don't understand how you withdrew the money in the first place.

It's an account I set up years ago, I can withdraw into my bank account but I don't think they are linked so I can't use it to buy stuff.

That would leave me with £2.24 in my account which I wont be able to withdraw.

You could just send the £2.24 back to your friend's Paypal account and just knock it off what you owe them.
By doing it as a gift payment there won't be any fees to pay.

if you can withdraw to your bank, you can transfer from your bank to paypal

Problem is, it says it can take up to 4 days.

And my bank account now only has £57.75 which means even if I do move the money over I won't have enough to issue a full refund.

I will owe my friend £2.24 but if I send it to him I'm going to lose another 28p in paypal fees and after today I'm going to need every penny I can lay my hands on.

Of course, you'll only refund once the phone has been returned by trackable means
