Default Paypal problems

I sold a guitar on AGf and we used Paypal. When I log into my Paypal account, it shows I have a balance of $291. One of the options it gives me is to transfer this balance to my checking account, which I have all set up. However, when I click on "Transfer to Bank" it tells me that I have $0 in my account.

I have tried to contact Paypal customer service, but it only takes me to possible questions.

What is going on?

Steve

The money left your PayPal account and will take a couple days before it lands in your bank account....

I hope you are correct. However, I don't think you are. I went through their drill a couple of times and it still says I have $291 in my account, and it still says I have $0 in my account when I try to transfer it.

If you just set up the link between your bank and PayPal, maybe it takes some time before you can transfer funds???

Hi Steve,

I agree with RP.

Unfortunately, funds from the others person's bank to Paypal can take up to 5 business days to clear.

Then, funds from Paypal to your bank take up to another 5 business days to clear.

As others are saying there is a time wait where the money is moved into your PayPal account before in can be moved it out. So it shows the money but you can't get to it. They aren't very good at explaining this either. After several days you should be able to do the same thing as you are doing and then it will work.
