It varies. I usually see the payment within minutes. Some people pay in a few days, some in a week. If it's an echeck, add 3-5 days for the echeck to clear. If you've run into a Paypal glitch, it can be 3-4 days for the payment to post. If you've received fake email that says it's from Paypal, the money's never coming. There's the 21 day hold. There's suspicious transactions where Paypal has to "investigate" the payment - that clears whenever they're done. Why are you asking?
