How long does it take for PayPal to send me a check?

I'm having someone do some work on my vehicle and wanted to use paypal but he prefers cash which I don't have that amount handy.  So I think I can't have PayPal send him a check, but they will send me a check which I can go cash and then give him the cash.  Question is, I've heard horror stories in the past that it can take weeks to have PP send you a paper check because they don't like to do that.  Is this really true?  This is not a business so he doesn't accept credit cards, he's just a free-lancer who specializes in a particular type of work.

 

So what are my options?

ive worked selling and buying via paypal and yes when you get a check it does take a week or two mainly you get it around the two week mark its very nasty unless you have time to wait.
