Money has not left my account yet

[Charlieriley]

Hey everyone, I recently purchased some things online and paid through paypal as I always do, however this time the money hasn't left my account yet (it has only been one day) . The order is confirmed and everything has been approved by the money is not yet taken out. Is this normal?

Transfers from bank accounts are never instant, that is why when you buy something paypal credit the seller upfront for you and paypal take the wait for the funds to transfer to pay them back again, this is so you get your item without delay.

Takes 5-7 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.
