Hi ReCo81,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the community!
If someone sends you a payment, the money will show in your PayPal account immediately. If you receive a payment for Goods and Services, you will see the payment in your pending transactions if you have no prior selling history with us. This procedure is practised in the effort to provide a safer and protected online payment environment for both the buyer and seller.
If you are receiving money for 'Friends and Family', your money will be in your available balance immediately.
Hope this helps!
Martina
