Why hasn’t the eCheque 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 working days to clear, but sometimes it may take longer.

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