Posted: I use paypal and yes it annoys the F*$£ out of me that they can instantly take funds from my bank account to pay someone but it takes 5-7 days for me to be able to transfer money from my Paypal to my bank account.
In my experience it usually takes 5 days, but I'm guessing it will be different from bank to bank.
Posted: It is pretty illegal for a bank to take more than 3 days for processing (at least in Germany/ Europe). Reason for the transfer period from PayPal to your bank is that PayPal takes 3 days to process AND your bank takes another 3 days.
Point being that they use these funds and invest them, make money on the interest during this period.
It may sound ridiculous to you and your 200 bucks - but PayPal is an international organization (as is your bank) and has got millions of customers.
Investing 200 bucks for 5 days might only get you 2cts interest - investing 200.000.000 for 5 days, gets you 2.000.000 in interest (as an example). That's how banks work... and it's only the tip of the iceberg.
On the other hand though, it's also to your protection that in case there is some fraudulent abuse, you (and your bank) have this time to discover and correct.
the best smiles are the ones you lead to

Posted: really? why are they investigating???
i've always had my paypal add funds straight away...it just seems to take it straight out of my bank...or maybe i just don't pay that much attention & assume it all happens quickly...
do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good to eat!
if at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished!
smile! :grin: it confuses people!
