Will a cross-border payment be instant?

So my friend from Serbia would like to send me some money via Paypal to my UK PayPal.

 

He wants to send with his credit card and can only choose the option 'Pay for Goods and Services' since the Pay to Family and Friends option isn't shown on his Paypal (its because of some law in Serbia).

 

If he sends me the payment like that, will I receive the funds immediately? I know that PayPal tends to hold funds for 3 days or more when you sell something on eBay.

 

Thanks

Hi NeoXx.

 

Welcome to the Community!
 

If a cross border payment is being sent with a credit/debit card as the funding option, the payment will be instant and you should have access to the funds straight away on your account.

 

Please let us know how it goes.

David.
