How long does money take to get into your account before I ship a product?

I recently sold a very expensive laptop and the buyer bought it for a hefty amount of money, approximately $4300 and that was July 9 that he sent it. I had called PayPal and they told me the payment request should switch from pending to paid today, July 10 but it still hasn’t switched. I also got two emails with one of them saying I received the payment and the other stating that there has to be a tracking number to receive. Needless to say that I can’t provide a tracking number and I can not see the payment. It is just a glitch or a bug or am I just being impatient for this to process?

Are the funds actually SHOWING in your paypal account balance but in the pending section?

If not then please DO NOT SEND THE ITEM.

You may be being scammed.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
