PayPal said it was completed but it hasn't been taken out of my account

Hi guys. I recently made a purchase with my PayPal. I was just using it as a way station for my bank account without giving any details. My PayPal account says it has been completed but it hasn't been taken out of my account. What gives?

When you pay a seller it is never instant, paypal CREDIT the seller for you and then they take the wait for your funds to transfer through to paypal.

This is so you get your item more quickly.

Payments can leave your funding source from 2 hours up to 3 days later.
