Hi JonasL,
Thanks for posting on the Community Forum about this.
When you transfer money from your bank to PayPal, it generally takes 5-7 working days to fully complete, as this is how long it takes for your bank to send the funds to us. As weekend days are not counted as working days, you would not count them in this case.
If you don't see the money clearing through to your balance after this timeframe has passed, please let us know.
Thanks for your patience
Sophie

Hi catalinionut,
Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum and welcome as a new member!
When you receive a PayPal payment the funds will show in your PayPal Account straight away. The payment may be held in a pending balance until we are sure that the item has been delivered to the buyer but you will be able to see this on your account. You will also receive a payment notification email from PayPal advising you that you have received a payment.

to PayPal_Siobhan2 regarding your response, you say the funds would show immediately... I have a text saying my friend sent me money. clicking the link and login, it says ok the funds are in my account. However according to the wallet there is no balance. On my summary page, the account created, email verified, bank card linked are all green checked. And my cell phone is associated with this account. I even went to "manage currencies" and checked to see that $$$ are the primary... There is absolutely NOTHING on my account that indicates this $450 has been received! Nothing on the balance page, nothing on the recent activity page. Good thing I'm not desperate to have access to this money... BUT, the fact that these funds are not available to me does not sit well. This is the FIRST transaction I have had with PayPal and based on the experience, it will be my last.
