How Long Does It Take To Receive Money?

[Cijack]

Would I get a notification that someone has sent money and it’s on the way or would the notification not come until after the 2-3 business days?

Hello @Cijack, 

Welcome! Thanks for visiting our Community Forum. This is a fantastic question. As soon as you receive a payment, you should receive a notification via email (or phone if you have it set up). With that in mind, if you receive a payment, you'll also see it reflect in your PayPal balance immediately. There's a potential for it to be held, but you will always see the transaction in your PayPal Activity. Here are a few resources you may find useful when receiving money through PayPal:

I hope those help!
