    It can take 5-7 working days for paypal money to hit your bank account, why not try giving paypal a call and see what they say about it or if they can make sure all is OK.

    Yes Stavros, you are probably right, sorry to the OP for not thinking logically before I replied!

    Ok, don't panic. I've just checked my history for when this happened to me and the whole process took 9 days. Firstly, go to your history in paypal and find the transaction, then click on details. Scroll down to "original transaction" and "related transactions" and copy and paste what it says into here so I can see (put asterisks over any sensitive information)

    I wouldn't panic yet amit_1. Everything looks ok. It is still on temporary hold by the looks of things. I'd give it 'til the end if this week and you should hopefully see a new line:

    "some date" Apr. 2005 Temporary Hold By PayPal Removed ... £21.59 GBP

    and the money will be in you paypal account
