why do payments to Paypal credit,take so long to show up? Especially when cash is used from Paypal wallet? It should be near instant, and reflected in the summary instantly, not days later.

No idea, but that's their policy. You only get credit fairly instantly for "when" you paid to avoid late fees:

"All payments may take up to 3-5 business days from the date they’re processed to show on your account. Please allow up to 8 days for your payment to reflect on your available credit."

 

But what if you accidentally made a double payment? It has happened to people and they wanted to cancel it, this extra time may give PayPal a chance to cancel it. 


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
