The time can vary, for me it is about 6 working days.
However, you need to send the item as soon as you receive the paypal payment as it is cleared at that point. If you delay beyond 7 days then not only do you lose your sellelr protection but you also end up with annoyed buyers who expect their goods within a couple of days.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

hi, it takes about 5-7 days but if it is in your paypal account it will be a cleared payment and you should send the goods asap! A lot of us usually wait until we have £50 or over in our accounts before withdrawing as it is free then!
