Why isn't the payment i made showing up?

[Truelotus]

So i transferred some money to a friend so she can buy something. This was a person to person transfer no companies involved. She said she received the money on her end (as in it's available to her right now.) and i did a direct out of my bank account option not through a credit card. Is this some kind of intended delay with the direct out of bank option or is something wrong?

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 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.
