Delay on receiving funds

I sold something the other day, (not on ebay) and the guy 'says' he sent the money. How long of a delay is there until it should show up on my end?

Anyone have an answer. This is my first time trying to use paypal to receive money. Anyone who has done so before could quickly answer this. I think I am being scammed, and would like to know, do the funds show up in my account right away or do i need to ship first? I got an email that looked like it was from paypal saying i needed to ship it for the funds to go into my account, but i am not about to send something with no money first.

The funds will show up immediately in your account.  If you don't have the money don't send them anything.  You just can't take that risk.
