    If it is a straight payment from a balance or card then it should be received immediately. If it has gone via a paypal echeque it can take 3 weeks to clear.

    Soo

    do beware however, paypal can, and often will withdraw the funds back out of your account weeks later (months sometimes too) should the transaction be disputed by the buyer or seller
