Just curious. I wired some money through the cPanel from PayPal on Thursday and it's taking a while to clear. Just curious if this is normal and whatnot.

Existing. I'm simply trying to keep my account open so I paid off the next month via PayPal.

Depends if you have funds already in your Paypal account, if the funds are drawn against a credit card, of if the funds are firstly transferred from a linked bank account then on through the Paypal system.

At the fast end, I find transactions from a funded Paypal account (or via credit card) go through immediately, and at the slow end transactions which require funds be first transferred from a linked bank account can take up to 3 business days (much like a cheque clearance waiting period).

Alright thanks. It's from my bank account and it went through Thursday night so I guess by Monday or Tuesday morning it'll clear.

Isn't PayPal the most popular gateway?

You should have paid with a credit card. Have you read their "money back guarantee policy?"

"Credit card and Google Checkout payments only."
