eChecks are one type of bank payment and usually take 3-5* business days to process. (This time may vary based upon buyer’s country) eChecks are used when buyers have not linked a backup payment source (like a debit or credit card) to their PayPal accounts, or when a transaction is too risky to allow an instant payment.
The money is withdrawn from the buyer’s bank within a day or two. As soon as PayPal receives confirmation of sufficient funds from the bank, they will deposit the money in our PayPal account.
*NOTE: Bank processing times vary by the buyer’s country.
Examples:
Australia: 3-5 business days
Brazil: 1-3 business days
Canada: 6-8 business days
France: 8-10 business days
UK: 5-7 business days
