So I need a bit of help.
Yesterday I brought something online and paid via PayPal and it all went through. Yet this morning I went to check my bank account and my balance is still the same as before I placed my order. I went in the bank to check and theres no Paypal transaction in my account history and the last transaction was one I did a couple of days ago.
Yet PayPal and the site show everything as complete, what gives?

It usually takes a couple days for transactions to actually show up on your bank statement. It's just like when you do a credit card purchase- debit is instant, credit has to talk to their computer who talk to some other computers who finally talk to your computers and then they take your money.
And with the weekend right around the corner it may take even longer!

Hmm that makes sense. Usually when I buy stuff online via Paypal the money goes out straight away so maybe it's something on the shop's end like they haven't accepted the money yet. I'm just making sure I remember my balance should have the amount for the purchase added onto it.

I know some stores like TRU don't charge until they ship your item out.

It takes 4-5 days til my PayPal transactions show up in my bank ;)

That could be it, I got a notifcation a bit earlier that they'd shipped my order so I'll see what it says on my account tomorrow
