I just deposited the money for a show in the bank at 3pm..knowing that it will not actually be in there til tomorrow....would you go ahead and submit the show..I have heard that is takes the debit card a few days to take the money???
 
It will most certainly take several days before PC hits your account for the show. I always submit right away. You'll be fine
 
I would submit with no worried. I sometimes submit one day and do not deposit until the next day. As long as I have the money in my hand and know it will be there I do not worry.
 
I was told that they debit your account 4-5 days after you submit. It usually takes longer for it to show up in my account.

OK thanks girls!!! I just submitted my first 2 shows... I will close another tonight and hope to hit my 1250!!!
 
Personally, I don't submit shows til all the checks have cleared.
 
Sometimes The Customers Will Already Have Their Products Before Your Debit Card Is Charged! Just The Way Of The World I Guess .. But Yeah To Be Careful, Like Carolyn Said, You Wanna Make Sure Stuff Can Clear First.
 
A lot of times my order has already arrived and it still takes a few days for them to debit it.
 
It takes up to 2-3 weeks for my account to be debited!

Congratulations on getting off to such a great start!
 
It usually takes 1-2 weeks before it comes out my account!
 
That's good to know- I'm always afraid to submit before I get money in the bank. I didn't realize they take so long!
