PayPal question

[Utterly Clueless]

Right then, allow me to explain.

sunday I sold an item on ebay, as i hardly use it and the value was over £50 the funds were held by paypal until positive feedback from the buyer had been given, or it had been 21 days without dispute.

I delivered the item today and the postive feedback was received at about 6pm. However the funds have still not been released and are still showing as pending.

Does anyone know how long it takes for the fund to be released as i have an item that needs paying for with these funds and i dont want to earn an unpaid item strike on my account.

Thanks

Thom

it can take upto 5days for the money to be in your account, but norm 2-3 days

i think you may mis understand.

the money is in my paypal account but says pending, once i get either good feedback from the buyer or it goes 21 days without dispute the funds are released meaning i can use them, im not wanting to but it into my bank im just wondering how long after the good feedback it takes for the funds to stop pending.

Turns out the people at paypal cant see when you have had good feedback so you have to phone them with the item number to check!!!!

problem solved anyway.
