When you sent your payment, the money is not instantly transferred from your bank account to the recipient’s PayPal account.
Instead paypal instantly credit your sellers PayPal account on your behalf and simultaneously request the same amount from your bank account to reimburse themselves.
This can take from 2 hours up to 3 days before it leaves your bank account.

What about the opposite? If money has been taken out of my account but does not show up in my PayPal balance, is that a problem? or does that process take a few days as well? The transaction is still marked as 'processing' on PayPal.

I would assume that it would be the opposite. It took about 2-3 days to come from my account. But if you have your bank account confirmed with paypal you dont have to transfer money from your bank into paypal.
