Instant transfers are when paypal credits the seller upfront and paypal wait for the funds to transfer from the bank account this is to make sure that there is no delay in the dispatch of your item. Its not really 'instant' as they are all echecks but its called instant because paypal credits that seller upfront.
But an echeck is sent when the sender does not have a back up card linked to their paypal account. Also it happens for friends/family payments or if paypal think their is any risk with the transaction.
As echecks can fail then the seller is right to await clearance, the clearance date is an estimate as it depends on the banks processing times, paypal can't do anything until they receive the funds, normally clears on or around the date given though.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
