Pending echeque payment

[Albu]

I purchased a tablet from ebay through echeque. Had no idea at the time that it will go like this, it never asked or gave me any info. After 10 days or more it finally cleared the money out of my bank account, but my Paypall account it shows still as pending those money. I repeat, it was cleared out of my bank Paypal tooked them. How long will it take to finally get to the one im sending to ? PS: paypal virtual agent says it will be cleared on 24 april and today its 30. No answer from any Paypal agents after days. I need to vent a bit so im sorry to say it but Paypal you are full of... Cant wait to see this transaction done to terminate account. Anyway, can someone tell me when will my money be realeased and send through ?

And another issue, not to create another topic. Trying to activate my credit card requires paypal to send an activation code. Never got one, tried 3 times. Anyone can give more info about this also ?

Hi @Albu 

Thank you for reaching out to the PayPal Community Forum!

That issue with your card appears to have caused the payment to be an eCheque. In order to make instant payments, there must be either sufficient PayPal balance or a completely setup card on your account. Below is a complete article regarding confirming the card.

As for the eCheque payment, in the UK it may take up to 10 working days. Even if the funds already left your bank, this has to clear into the PayPal's system.

Thank you for your answer. You said it takes around 10 days. Does that mean it takes 10 days after they left my account, or 10 to get out of my bank ? Just trying to see when will they go the seller. It went to Paypal 2-3 days ago, wondering how long it will be now. PS: cant setup a credit card, im not receiving an activation code, tried more times.

Hi @Albu 

The payment may take up to 10 business days to go from pending to complete. This starts from the exact date of the payment.

The seller will be notified as well once the process is done.

It been 15 days now in total of pending. For the first 10 or like that money been on my bank, now they arent anymore.Doesnt make any sense saying it takes UP TO 10 DAYS. Unless its takes 10 for paypal to take them and after how long ? Thats my question, how long again ?
