Sis sent me money, as she has in the past, but this time it says its an echeck and its pending, but has been removed from her bank account... What can I do to get the money ?

Allow 5 business days dependent on her banks processing times, echeques have to go via ACH in batches before arriving at paypal.

Paypal can't credit the funds until they receive them.

As echeques (from a bank account) are free, you have to wait the processing time. Echeques normally are fronted by paypal to the recipient and paypal take the wait for clearance, this is so a buyer does not have to wait long for an item, but if its the free option using friends/family then you would take the wait.

If she paid and funded the f/f payment via a card then it would be instant.
