I recently bought an item on eBay, and have the money in my bank account. eBay says I paid for the item, and PayPal says the transaction was completed, but the money hasn't been taken out yet. What do I do?

Hi BMWLover,
Welcome to the forums!
It sounds like the funds could still be processing from your bank account for this transaction. If you have a bank account and a credit card on your PayPal account, we may have processed the transaction as an Instant fund transfer.
Which basically means, we will front the money to your seller while the funds are still processing from your bank behind the scenes. Generally it takes 3-5 business days for the funds to transfer from the bank.
Hope this helps!
Lilly
