[Paypal Check] - How long does it take?

    Hello everyone. I guess this question is targetted for people from India. I am from Hyd and I requested a paypal check on the 29th of Nov and it got processed on the 3rd or 4th of december. Its been almost a month now and I havent received it yet :( How long does it take for you guys to receive your checks from paypal? Checks issued by google reach my house in less than a week! And both checks are issued and dispatched from singapore so we would expect both to reach in about the same time. The last time I requested for a check from paypal, it reached in within 2 weeks. I am starting to worry now. I know the checks are crossed so they cannot be cashed but still, does paypal cancel and refund unclaimed checks? The thing is that, the check which got issued on the 29th of Nov was of 160 USD, where as again on the 18th of Dec, I issued another check of 500 USD. I dont want my hard earned incoming getting lost :(

    It usually takes around 2-3weeks . Maybe you should go to your local PO to check whether the cheque is available or not < as maybe the postman isnt coming for somedayz :: this happened to me lasttime > .

    I sometimes get it in 9 days. And sometimes it takes 30 days. But what to do. There is nothing else then waiting.

    Even if the cheque is lost or misplaced. then you can always call paypal and get that one cancelled.

    They will cut some charges but that is the last thing in the line.

    It was in september 2006

    After that 2 of my cheques came a little bit late.

    So this time I am not worried. I have also withdrawn a cheque on this 6th december. Waiting for it.

    No need to worry my freind , You can any time ask PP to stop payment request at the cost of $15(Means PP deducts $15 from your check and credits back the remaining amt to your a/c).Since check is crossed their are least possibilities of misusing it.So please wait for another few days.

    My self also waiting for the check to arrive , check issued on 7th of Dec :(
    Last two checks I received within three weeks period.Hope will get it next week or so.

    Hey Manju, thanks ;) For a while I had even lost the least amount of hope I had left :p I am from Hyd. I really dont know why it took such a long time.. And I dont know if its blame paypal I should blame or the post office(s)... But whatever, I am just happy I finally got it :) Like they say, better late than never.

    I think since more and more people are asking about paypal checks there should be Paypal FAQ|(sticky) for Indians and other users

    as now and then I see a thread regarding paypal from our Indian users
