Its always taking 8 days to clear and i wanna know how to get it so that when they accept the payment it goes through right away.

I have a credit card added and everything so i dont understand what to do to change this.

Hi maggietron, and welcome to the Community! 🙂

I'd be happy to help clarify. First, a couple of questions to help narrow things down.

When you're setting up your payment, what bank payment method is offered? Is it offering eCheck or Instant Transfer?

If Instant Transfer is being used, your seller is getting paid right away. PayPal pays the seller up front on your behalf and waits for the funds to clear in the background. Any bank-funded transfer is going to take 6-8 business days, but using Instant Transfer allows your seller to receive the payment right away while we wait.

If the only bank option offered is eCheck, take a look at your credit card information and make sure that the billing address as listed on PayPal matches the billing address listed with your credit card issuer. If there's a discrepancy, it may be that the card isn't passing verification at the time of payment, making it unavailable as a backup payment method.

This post may also be helpful in clarifying. Please let us know if you have more questions! 🙂
