Why hasn’t the eCheck I sent cleared yet?

An eCheck 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, but sometimes it may take longer (Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays aren’t considered business days).

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.
