Poker Stars Instant EChecks

[CCx]

all of my echeck deposits have taken no longer than 5 business days to come out of my bank account

I haven't deposited to Stars for a while, and it was in order to be able to cashout. Back in August, the initial deposits took about 8 weeks. Now, I suspect they're much faster.

Since there's no fees, the only thing to watch out for is double-debits, which have happened. They credit your Stars acct right away, so you're playing with their money until they debit your bank acct.

Put in Withdrawal for 1500 on 10/26.

1500 hits my bank account on 11/2 and - wait for it...

1500 hits my account on 11/13.

Nice guy that I am, I drop them an email to let them know. After first instructing me to send a screen shot of my bank account (wtf?), they decide to deduct 1500 from my pokerstars account which puts my account at -1000. With echeck's deposit limit at 600 - I guess that means no pokerstars this thanksgiving break for me? I guess I've learned my lesson on doing them any favors.

They might be able to bump your deposit limit, considering the circumstances. After all, you were nice enough to notify them!

They did (eventually), but strangely, not enough to actually allow me to play.

Has anyone been able to withdraw recently? I did one for $1500 and it worked perfectly, since then I've tried multiple times and keep getting this:
