Germany To UK Bank transfer

Hello

How many days does it take for a Bank transfer from Germany to the UK? Transfer was apparently done on Friday.

I sold some Gear online, buyer has scanned a receipt which to me looks photoshoped, also claims It can take 10 days and insists that I post items to him...

I think he's trying to pull a fast one...

a SWIFT transfer is up to 3 days, typically just 1.

Expect to receive a lot of big scary threats from this plonker, including but not limited to: reporting you to eBay, reporting you to the police, reporting you to Interpol.

Don't balk; until you see it in your account, do nothing.

Yeah That's what I thought, would of hit today or latest tomorrow.
The receipt looks so fake anyway, going to relist items on ebay.

If he sends threats just say you want to wait for funds to hit account before sending merchandise.

should have come by now
ignore and keep records of his threats in case he reports you to eBay

I'd wait till the weekend before relisting. True, it generally takes under 3 days, but it CAN take a lot longer. I work for a Dutch company and transfer funds to my UK account regularly. Generally, it takes 24-48 hours, but it did once take 2 weeks. It's a lottery really how long it takes, though I would be very suspicious if somebody asked me to send goods before you received the funds, I'd tell them to go fly a kite.
