Echeck has taken 8 days!

I had an incoming deposit on Jan 1st and it still hasn’t cleared. The funds show “money received” on PayPal and the funds were deducted from the sellers account the day they were sent. I’ve tried getting support from PayPal and I’ve been told multiple different things and the customer service seems to have zero insight, knowledge or ability to help me. It says online 3-5 business days on PayPal’s website but today is already the 6th business day. This is a in the US major bank to PayPal echeck. Does anyone know what I can do? I was expecting these funds!! How is holding funds for this long even legal? This seems very fishy. It certainly does not take 6 or more days to clear a check.

PayPal used to be great. I can't believe in this day and age why it takes this long for an e-check to clear. And every answer from the remote team is different...I feel lied to and misled. I've been waiting for a refund from a purchase for a SUBSTANTIAL amount, and its been 7 days. Once that refund is done, my PayPal account is being deleted. This is wrong.

When did you finally get your money? I am on day 8 and PayPal has not been able to tell me anything. My money was for a specific purpose and was expected immediately. I’ve missed two payments because of this insane process. They could have mailed me a box of gold coins faster than this.

Wow I am in the same boat and the fact that this has been happening to many people and PayPal isn’t doing anything is very fishy. Why are you holding our payments paypal?

I can relate. How can they take the money from our accounts the same day but send the funds over a week later??? I was sent money on the first of this month and have yet to receive anything. It says pending. I am beyond disgusted with this company because this is not the first time they are carelessly holding my money without any reason etc. I feel as users we should boycott this company AND take legal action.
