Pending Echeck

[Patt22erson]

I have sent an echeck January 31st friend/family. The funds were posted from my account 2 days ago but is still pending in paypal. I do not know why it is still pending if it has been cleared from my bank account.

Takes several working days to transfer as Paypal use the slowest (cheapest) transfer option BUT funds normally leave your bank account from a few hours up to a few days later.
That does not mean that they have arrived with paypal though as they go via ACH in batches.

Hi!

Sorry about this confusion. E-check takes 3-6 business days before it gets posted. As the process, it will be coming from your bank and once it got cleared there, it will be cleared thru ACH (Automated Clearing House) where all the checks are being cleared and it's out of PayPal and your bank and that's where the process really takes long . Right after that, that's when PayPal receives it and will send it to the specified person. And for the posting date, it may be posted anytime already but not later that February 10, 2020.
