I purchased something of eBay a week ago on Saturday 16. I transferred some funds on the same Saturday but it still has not cleared. It has clared with the bank, but not PayPal. Why does it take PayPal this long to clear funds, I think it's disgraceful.

hmm it always works instant for me

Boss if you don't have a credit card or debit card connected to your paypal account it can take 7 days once paypal gets the funds, because it is like waiting for a check to clear twice. Paypal is handled by a bank, so that bank will wait for the funds to clear your account, and then they issue the check to the person you bought from and then "wait for that to clear. I know it is weired but the refunds work like that too! I hope this helps.

Can't say I'm a big user of PayPal, I've used it for paying for things occasionally, and also accepted money through it a while ago but it's not really that familiar to me. However, I just checked and it seems I have a card attached to my account. if I pay for something utt haven't got enough money in the account, will it come off my card?

You can select for it to come off your card. That is how I do mine so that it is an instant transfer.

I had a refund coming to me once and it took 20 days for the money to be put back. I WAS PISSED!!! But there is a contact us on the paypal site, you can call them and ask why it is taking so long...

I am such a dipstick it's changed little since I last used it, I didn't realise that it would automatically take the money from my debit card. Anyway, everything is paid up now. Could have done this a week ago and got my goods.

Thats ok Boss. I am an Ebay Queen!
