Allow 5-7 days.

The guy at Paypal UK on the 15th he told me that 100% the funds would have been available today. **bleep**. I need to pay my mortgage, my insurance. This will messed up my credit score

How long it takes is dependent on the senders banks processing times.

As paypal are not sending and have not received the payment yet then no way can they know exactly when it would complete.

@kernowlass The transaction is still on 'PENDING"

@Drkiko68 

It will be until paypal receives it as i have already stated.

@kernowlass thanks a lot but still isn't clear to me. The paypal statement got the transaction as "PENDING" since sept 14th. when I called paypal they told me that 100% by today it would have been cleared. But today I called again and they said that it will take another 72 hours.

Its pending UNTIL it clears, it has not cleared yet so pending.

As I said paypal would NOT know when an echeque clears as its down to the senders bank accounts processing times.

The date given is an estimate.
