Transferring between family and friends

I've recently made a transaction, tuesday night about £100. 

to my Friend using " send ,money between family and friends' so she can have the money right away. 

 

Im not sure how long it does take. 

 

We double checked the email address, so i dont think it went wrong. 

 

paypal resoultion center just says " it should run smmotly " 

 

some other says it takes about one or two (even up to 5 ) days.

 

Should I want for more ? or should i assume the money is lost somehwere and take further action ?

Did the money come from PayPal balance or bank account or credit card?  How you choose to fund the payment influence how long it takes.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Fund is coming from non-uk based bank, using Visa credit card payment. 

 

she says its not even showing up on her paypal account.

Paypal won't ever tell you why a payment was done as an instant transfer or why they're holding your money for as long as they do. This is why they lost the class action lawsuit against them. Paypal isn't a reliable service.

I see . 

 

paypal just said

Let me give you my assurance that this money has been received by the recipient with email address " 

 

followed by MY email address.  i think It shoud be HER email address. since SHE is the Recipent, not ME , im the SENDER. 

 

its either paypal employee did a mistake by copying and pasting wrong email address 

or something really went wrong and money's gone forever (inside paypal's pocket )
