I just opened a Paypal account four days ago. So far I have been using my husband's account but I need to open mine. They said they would deposit two small amounts but I still don't see any deposits online in my bank. I need to get my account verified to start using it. How much time did it take you to verify your account? Should I submit another request and open another account or wait?

Give it a couple days for the transactions to go thru. If you regiter your checking account online thi can go faster. Just instant.

It does some time for the money to transfer Depends where you are located It took my bank 10 days to get it transferred over I am from Canada so mayhap it makes a difference on the location Wendy

Thank you Wendy. I'm located in Northern California. I guess I will give it few more days and then I will contact them if I don't see any deposit.

When I first started my Paypal account and wanted to verify mine it only took a few minutes to verify after I entered in my bank account number. It shouldn't take long at all. I would try to resubmit a request and if you don't get it verifed soon I'd contact Paypal with either the support email address or by phone. Good luck with getting everything set up.

Hi ChrisRock619 and thank you for answering. That's what my husband said too but I thought maybe he forgot how long he waited since he oppened it a long time ago. Thank you for your advice.

Sorry my english is not that good. I meant I went to check my bank online to see if the two small amounts have been transfered. Thanks again!

Since you were from US I think you should be able to see the successful transfer within 3 to 5 business days the most. Paypal normally was very fast as hey will send out the fund right after you make a request but most of the it was the bank that hold your transactions as they need to go through some verifying process. Don't worry about that...it will show up few days later:)

It took me about 5 days for money to deposited in my account. You can call your bank and ask them if they see any deposits coming. If they do see money coming, ask them if they can tell you for how much. Just contact your bank and see before submitting a new request. After 5 days has past and the bank doesn't see any deposits coming, try calling Paypal or emailing them asking what happened on there end, make sure you let them know that you contacted your bank. Good Luck.

Just wait a day to see if things change. However, if you need it right now, use their support. I personally do not have paypal, but many of my friends do.

Don't panic! Just like everyone said, give it a few days. I think it took mine 5 or 6 days. It'll all work out for you.

That's normal sometimes it takes a few days for them to deposit the small amounts into your account.If I were you I'd wait another couple days and if it's still not in there, email them and ask them about it.
