Fraid not, its normally 2-24 hours in the UK but paypal often hold the first withdrawal for security for 72 hours.

 

But if they do that you normally get an email to tell you that, did you get one?

Yes it does include weekends and its odd you have not had the email.

 

If it does not clear on 72 hours then give customer services a bell  >>

 

Click on the words "Contact" at the bottom of your paypal account summary page and use the phone option (if there is one in the country you are in) > click on the "call us" option on the left (fees "may" apply so check the cost with your phone tariff first, as you sometimes have to wait a while to connect).

 

Free from any UK landline.

When you get through don't select any options just hang on till you get transfered to an agent or say the word "agent".
