Paypal transfer time scale?

Hi

How long should it take from me paying for items using paypal and the recipiemt getting the money

[Greg]

Well if you pay by your CC the recipient should get it instantly in their paypal account. It will then take about 5-7 days if they withdraw it instantly to get it in their bank account.

U dont use a credit Card, money comes straight out my bank. I was more interested as to how soon it would appear in their pay pal account

[Greg]

Aah right. I usually pay by credit card. Not sure about if you pay directly from your bank, is it a debit card transaction (instant if it is) or a BACS payment (three days, but probably a couple longer with paypal)

The payment should go through very quickly.

I won an item today that didn't have p&p included so I had to wait for an invoice.

Item won: 14:02

Invoice sent: 14:13

Exactly when I checked my email for the invoice I don't know, but

Receipt for payment from Paypal: 15:00

Personal message of thanks for swift payment from seller telling me it was now wrapped up and ready to go out in the mail Monday: 16:25

I sent a payment via Paypal the other week and part of that payment was from my bank a/c. The seller contacted me back withing about 15 mins to say he had received full payment, I was expecting about 3 working days.
