How long does it take for a payment to come through?

[emilysparks]

I got sent £100 through my PayPal.Me link and I was sent a screenshot that it was sent, but it still says I have £0.00 - how do I know it's being sent and how long does it normally take? (I haven't used paypal before so I'm not sure how long it normally takes and if money has actually been sent)

Hi emilysparks,
 

Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting.

When money is sent to you on PayPal it should show up in your account instantly. As long as your email address is confirmed there is nothing that should stop is arriving. I recommend asking the sender to check it on their end to make sure the payment is showing as completed on their account. If you are selling something I recommend holding off on shipping until you see the money in your PayPal account.

I hope this helps.
