Does anyone know how long a deposit takes to occur? 1-3 days??? Someone paid me for some supplies this weekend and was anxious to receive her stuff.:)

Re: Paypal??I think it's an ACH transaction, so 2-4 business days depending on your bank. Keep in mind though, if PayPal says the money is in your PayPal account, it's not going to reject or bounce from there. So unless you're waiting to get the funds to cover the shipping charge, you can send out the stuff.

Re: Paypal??I was waiting for it to show up in my acct before sending ;). And for shipping charge purposes. :) Thanks!
 
Re: Paypal??It depends on how she paid you. She must have done a bank transfer and that takes a few days. I don't ship until it has cleared in my Paypal account.

Yes, there is a difference. If you want it to go to your bank account, you have to transfer it from Paypal yourself.
