How long does it take for a debit card payment to show up?

I am making some crafts for a friend who lives in another state, she said she sent the money to my Paypal account using a debit card but no payment is showing up.

How long does it take for a debit card payment to show up on my account?

Welcome to the boards!

One of two things could be holding up the payment. 

First, if your email address is not confirmed on PayPal, confirm it.  Go to Profile > Email Addresses and click on "Confirm" if it still needs this.

Otherwise, ask your friend what email address they sent the payment to (including the spelling).  The most common cause of "floating" funds is an incorrect email address. 

If it is the wrong email address, you can add and confirm that email address on your account to claim the funds.  If you can't do so, ask your friend to cancel the payment and submit it to the correct email address.

Hope this helps,
