Paypal first transaction. Why is it taking so long????
 

I opened an account and got a deposit 4 days ago and still nothing. How long should this take???

was it a "e check" ?

thats prob why must have been a "e-check"

you made a deposit or someone made a deposit to you ? or they made a deposit to verify the account ?

I don't think it was an echeck. Someone else made the deposit to me but I had to create the paypal account first which was done only minutes before. That's why I'm wondering if there's a waiting period in just setting up the paypal account itself.

I see the money when I login to paypal but not my bank. It's been days!

Did you withdraw the money from PayPal to your bank account? And then if so, it takes 3-4 days. : )

Ok so will this happen every time? Or just this once since it's new??

Everytime .... once you move the money from PP to your bank account, it will always take that 3-4 day time period. Kinda sucks.

everytime i think

It will take that long every time once you make a withdrawl to your bank account.

Well shit! I was in a hurry and really know nothing about paypal. How can I get it out beforehand? Is that possible??

Log in, go to withdraw and you can see your options.

Best thing to do which you can't do any faster right now is get a PP debit card. If you plan to use PP in the future, that thing is great ...

You could apply for a Paypal debit card.

Damn!! Well thanks guys. Yeah I just read in there that the atm option is only good after I've had a paypal account for 60 days.

Oh well I guess I'll just be patient :) I'm just so good at that.

Obviously! :winkwink:
