if you sell something on ebay for example, and the buyer pays you via paypal, how long does it take to show on your paypal account. i had confirmation at 1903 that i had just had x ammount of money paid via paypal. but nothing is showing yet. when is it time to start worrying?
It's usually pretty quick, ie immediate in your PayPal account if paid via debit or credit card. Even if it is by "instant bank transfer" which isn't instant ie a e-cheque it will show as pending but takes 5-7 days to clear in your PayPal account. Hope this helps.
You prob haven't set the account properly, you have to set up so PayPal take like a quid out of your account one day and pay it back another just to confirm its legit (can't remember what they call it) They have live web chat now tho
I had a problem last week the guy who eventually bought was putting in .com instead of .co.uk but when he put in the right addy payment was instant
When I rung paypal up they said they withhold immediate payment in certain cases,if your new and sell a item over £50 low feedback a long period of inactivity etc....https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/?cmd=xpt/Customer/popup/PPPolicyForEBayItemHolds-outside
