HOw long does it take for paypal to clear? Sorry if this is a duplicate!

[D & G rockstar]

if i'm selling something on ebay and the buyer paid with paypal... how long does it take before I can use the funds received on my paypal account? All I'm going to be doing is sending that money elsewhere.

Does anyone know?

*If this is a duplicate, sorry about that!!! I did a search and couldn't find anything*

TIA

Once the funds are in your PP account, you can use them right away. If you're transferring to another account, it could take 3-4 days.

if they're using a method that doesn't clear instantly, Paypal will send you an e-mail letting you know when they clear, between 3-7 days usually.
