paypal advice

[mags81]

not sure if im in the right topic. I am new to selling things on ebay and i have a paypal account. I did an electronic transfer from my paypal account to my personal bank account on tuesday afternoon. It says on my paypal ststement that the transaction is completed but the money is not in my account yet. Is it normal to say this before the money is in my account?

Yes, it can take up to 3 or more days for the money to appear in your account. WIth the Easter bank holiday coming up, this time will be longer.

It can easily take ten days, for some reason.

It can take up to 21 days for the funds to clear. After much searching I found this on the Paypal website.

When will PayPal release the payment hold for an eBay item?
Your funds will be released after 21 days. We may release funds earlier when one of the following occurs:

The buyer leaves you positive feedback on eBay
3 days pass after we confirm the item was delivered*
If you receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction subject to the eBay item hold, we may hold the payment until the problem is resolved, even if the claim, chargeback, or reversal occurs after the hold is released.
