It stated something about a direct debit agreement and 5 days but i have lost the message now..

 

 

it currently states

"

Primary

Confirmed "

 

does that mean i can send payments now to another account or would payment be delayed because of this?

Hi topcat007,

 

Welcome to the Community Forum! It sounds like your bank account is fully confirmed and you should now be able to use it as a funding source on your PayPal account.

 

You should be able to use your bank to send money instantly, but if you only have your bank registered, sending a payment may take 5-7 working days to complete. If you would like to add a credit or debit card as a back up funding source, you will be able to make instant payments using the bank.

 

Please let me know if you have any more questions,

Sophie

Hello Sophie Thank you for getting back to me So just having my card added will send the payment to another PayPal account instantly? How long does it take for the other person to withdraw from PayPal to their bank account please? Is that also instant I heard it it 2 hours max? If it is that amazing!

Hi topcat007,

 

Yes, when you have your card added the funds should be sent from your account immediately. When the other person receives your payment, they can withdraw it immediately. Depending on the capabilities for their account, the money could be in their bank account 2-3 hours after withdrawal.

 

I hope this helps!

As suggested by you that it will take two or three days in realising two small amounts by Pay- pal. However, this has not reached so far resulting in delay in the account - verification process.
