Money paid on PayPal isn’t showing up on my hank account

Hi, I paid a transaction for a purchase I made on the PayPal app but it is not showing as deducted from my bank account although it says it has been paid on PayPal. I have waited the 2-3 working days for it to show up in my outgoing bank transactions but this has not happened. I tried to transfer the amount needed for the purchase before paying with my bank card to my PayPal account but it said there was an error. Has anybody else had this problem?

Transfers from bank accounts are never instant, that is why when you buy something paypal credit the seller upfront for you and paypal take the wait for the funds to transfer to pay them back again, this is so you get your item without delay.

Takes 5-7 working days to transfer as Paypal use the slowest (cheapest) transfer option BUT funds normally leave your bank account from a few hours up to a few days later.

Thank you so much for explaining this - I’ll remember in future.
