Did you not read that they said ''from one paypal account to another'' they are not talking about withdrawing funds !!!

@aljosalalovic 

As long as you have added and confirmed a visa credit card required to receive funds in your country then payments should be more or less instant.

@kernowlass I am in one country, and my friend is in another country. He didn't have money on paypal but he sent money from a debit card. Could this be the reason why the money hasn't arrived yet?

@aljosalalovic 

No as debit cards are pretty instant.

Check........

what it says on his paypal account ie pending / unclaimed / sent / completed etc.

secondly have the funds left and showing on his debit card account?

which currency did he select and can you accept that currency on your paypal account?

check the email address he used to send the funds and make sure there are no typos or spelling errors.

did he send using goods/services or friends/family?

lastly make sure you have a visa credit card linked and confirmed on your paypal account or you won't be able to receive funds.

@kernowlass Since my debit card recently expired and I replaced it, I noticed that I forgot to verify it, so I did it now. I guess the money will arrive soon.

Again has to be a credit visa card as per link for your country.

Read this link as you are in one of the affected countries.
