    if the person has paid by Paypal....It doesnt automatically go to your bank account....your sister has to log in to her paypal and request the amount be transferred to her bank...otherwise it will just sit in her paypal account....

    It should then show in her bank account around 6 working days after she has done the transfer from Paypal to her bank...
  • ok i have signed in to her account (as she asked me to) it says paypal account with the money underneath how do i no if it has got through too her account to i ave to send it?

    Are the funds still in her account or is there a transaction showing it being withdrawn to a bank account?

    to transfer the money to the bank you need to click on "Withdraw" tab at top of page...

    then click on transfer funds to bank account

    It then asks how much you want to transfer, and a box which confirms the bank details to transfer to

    The money would have cleared from the buyers account for it to show in your sisters paypal account so it is all fine! it takes about 5-7 days to transfer from paypal to bank account and you have to do it manually!
    :p:p Angel :p:p
  • ok i have done the with draw thing now and it says it take 5-7 working days so is it all done now?
