Can anyone tell me how long it takes a payment to be processed through paypal?

I am new to paypal and just set up an account. I've made a payment to another business for some goods but having checked my paypal account it says under payment status "Pending until 7 March 2011" when i click on details it says;

Payment to "the company" status: uncleared
Add funds from a bank account, status: uncleared

Does this mean i cant expect the payment to be processed until 7th March?

 

thanks

Richard

 Did you verify your credit or debit card? That will speed it up. Otherwise its going through as a check, and we all no those checks take awhile to clear. Hope this helps...

On the site you will see an option to add card, if you have a debit card add it then it will give you instructions to verify it. Then all transactions should be immediate...
