Hey everyone! So just a couple weeks ago I made a payment with my bank acount(which I have been using the same bank account for 8yrs) all of a sudden it sent the payment as an echeck. Which took 10 business days to clear 🙄 I run a business and purchase my products with this account. I thought maybe because it was a new site that was why? 🤷‍ ♀️ But then today I went to purchase products on my usual site(like 20x before) and again it was only giving me the echeck option. **bleep** is going on!!! I can't as a business wait 2 weeks for items to ship out! I also already chose to block echecks throught my payment settings but it didn't work. Please can someone help with this dumb and inconvenient issue!? Thanks 😊

There are times when its you and the seller / recipient that take the wait for a bank transfer ie echeque to clear and here are some of the reasons...

1. Back up card has expired or needs updating.
2. You have had a recent negative balance or failed bank transfer (so paypal are not going to credit the seller in advance in case it happens again).
3. For some high cost riskier payments / transactions.
4. Friends / family payments *funded from a bank account* as this option is free then its you that takes the wait this time.
