Hi everyone, Apologies if this has been asked and answered already. But I have noticed that when I make an order on sites such as eBay or pizza Hut and pay via PayPal that the payment isn't going out of my bank for a delayed period. Is there a reason for this and what is the normal time period for payments to be taken? Many thanks

When you pay a seller it is never instant > paypal credit the seller for you and then start the process of uploading your funds to paypal from your funding source.

This is done so you get your item more quickly.

The funds can leave your bank account anytime from 2 hours up to 3 days later.
