Why hasn’t the eCheck I sent cleared yet?

An eCheque is an electronic funds transfer from your bank account to another customer’s PayPal account. It usually takes between 4-7 business days to clear, subject to local requirements.

The payment may show as “pending” in your PayPal account. To view your payment status and the expected clearing date, visit your Activity and click on the transaction.
