    My last transfer took seven days (five working days!) :mad:

    I was climbing the walls for the money as I'd paid out so much in heavy postage costs!

    I was having the same problem finding the money to pay for the postage while the money is sitting in my Paypal account. So now once all my ebay fees are paid and the balance in my Paypal account is over £50.00 I withdraw the money and put 25% of it away for future postage costs only been doing that since the beginning of Feb but it seems to be working and i no longer struggle to find the money to post the parcels! :T

    I don't like the money to be too get-at-able so opened an e-savings account. It takes at least 5 days (nightmare time when paypal obviously earning money on my money) to transfer the money into the savings account but the only way I can spend it is on the internet by transferring it to my normal walk-into-a-bank account (the transfer is instant because use the same bank). This way it is fairly easy but not too easy to get at. No debit card available for impulse buys. Usually transfer it once £50 is reached.
