Ebay members: How many days did it take for Paypal to pay 2 small deposits into your account?

Question

I'm new to Ebay and my Paypal account is still unverified because I haven't completed the last stage for security. On the 19th Aug I summited for 2 small deposits to be payed into my account, and it said I should check between 3-5 days. I've just rung my bank up now and I still haven't received anything from Paypal.

How long did it take for them to pay into your account?

Is there anyone here that never received anything?

Answer 1

A week but its a bank Holiday ??

Answer 2

it took about 2 weeks for it to show into my hsbc account... still dont know why it took so long to this day..

Answer 3

1 week

Answer 4

Remember it is 3-5 business days, so it may not actually happen until the 26th or possibly a day or so later.  It only took them about 3 days with mine, but there have been a couple times when I was sending money from my bank to paypal that it took up to six.

Just keep checking back as it should definitely be there by the 26th at latest.

Answer 5

Took about a week for me.  

Answer 6

It took about a week, I live in Germany.

Answer 7

It's a long time since I had to do that but think it was just over a week - don't forget we've got a Bank Holiday tomorrow which will add another day to what you can expect anyway.

If you're waiting to pay a seller for something, it's a good idea to let them know what's going on (otherwise they can get a bit tetchy and think you aren't going to pay).

If you haven't hit your 'sending limit' yet, or if you haven't even started buying on eBay, you don't need to worry too much about it for now - you don't need to be verified to start using your PayPal account.
