Payment Delays
Payment delays happen often when you are using digital payment systems such as PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Payment Delays
Payment delays happen often when you order using PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. A payment delay is where PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay takes time to process the payment. If you have the amount of funds needed to purchase the product and don't order anything over $5,000, these delays usually will not apply to you and your order will be placed and processed within seconds. Payment delays can take up to 21 days in some cases, so we recommend that if you need something in a hurry, order with credit/debit cards because they take seconds to process and place the order. Apple Pay and Google Pay don't have many delays, so here are the delay reasons for PayPal and how long they take:
For PayPal:
1. eCheck Payment (3–7 Business Days) - PayPal
-
If the customer paid using a bank transfer (eCheck), PayPal takes 3 to 7 business days to process it.
-
You’ll see an estimated clearing date in PayPal.
2. Payment on Hold (Up to 21 Days) - PayPal
-
If PayPal is holding the funds for security reasons (e.g., new seller, high-risk transaction), it can take up to 21 days to clear. A high-risk transaction is considered any amount of money above $5,000.
3. PayPal Review (Up to 24 Hours) - PayPal
-
If PayPal is reviewing the payment for fraud or risk assessment, it typically clears within 24 hours (but may take longer).
4. Issue with Buyer’s Payment (Varies) - PayPal
-
If the buyer’s payment method has issues (e.g., insufficient funds, bank delays), it depends on their bank. Please check your funds before placing an order.
