For Buying and Selling BOAS of course!!

Ever sell something, get paid via paypal and then have to do a refund via paypal? I did just this week and it is taking days to clear.

Is this normal?

How come if I buy something they suck the funds directly from my bank account but will not do that for a refund I sent?

Just curious.. I am anxious to get the money back to the right people.... I told them it should be almost Instant.. that was 3 days ago. Mfft.

Here is a picture just for the fun of it.

When I send money through Pay Pal it normally takes 4 days to clear. I use my checking account to send it. I guess if I used a credit card it might be "instant", but I really don't like to use my credit card with Pay Pal.
Now it shows the money taken from my checking account the same day I make the payment. It's just 4 days before Pay Pal has it listed as "cleared". I guess it's a "saftey feature" that Pay Pal has for checking accounts.

to their checking account as quick as they get it, and it's illegal for Paypal to go into someone's account and take it out. They have to go thru the bank to file a petition. But if there is anything in the persons paypal balance they will refund to you that amount up to the amount of the contested $$.
