How long does it take for a donation to go through

I sent some money on today 18 January 2021 but it says that the recipient will receive it by 13 July 2021. Is this reasonable?

They must be banned from using Paypal so read this......


If you have been told your Paypal account has been permanently limited then Paypal tends to hold any funds for 180 days.... the same time frame that buyers have to open Paypal disputes.

If no disputes are opened in 180 days then normally you are allowed to withdraw the funds. That is as long as you are over 18, the account is in your legal name and registered in the country where you reside.

Sometimes they confiscate funds under this policy.

Paypal also may request further documentation from you before you can withdraw those funds.
