paypal check issued

hi

A cheque was issued to me about 20 days back, but i have not yet received it

I am from india , is any one else facing the same problem , the customer support will say once it is out they have no control over it ,

any idea of what i should do now

 

it will take more then 30 days usually around 35 days. Dont worry u will get that in next 15 days.

 

mostly it takes between 15 to 25 days. First cheque i recieved after 23 days, recent one i recieved within 15 days. depends on Indian postal service.

 

It takes about 25 days. Not 30+ days,

 

i have received cheques some times for 15 days , some for 20 and once i received it after 30 days , so as mentioned by you guys i will wait for an other 5-10 days and see

 

IS there a way to track our cheques AFTER it has been issued by the site

i have never in my life waited for the postman in my entire life

 

Why didn't you just use Xoom ?

 

I was wondering that too, I requested my check a week ago, and was wondering if I could get some more information on it...Although I'm in the USA..

 

Once the check goes out of their office, Paypal would no longer have any control over its delivery. Basically the postage services takes over and it would depend on the reliability of the sending country's and your country's postal services. The more remote you are, the longer you might need to wait for receipt of the checks and more hands would probably lead to higher probability of errors.

 

I suggest linking a bank account to your Paypal account. Transfers take just a couple days, and they don't charge any fees. I'm not sure if they filter bank accounts by country though...

 

He is in a country where he can not connect his bank with his account. Wait for another couple of weeks, and if it still doesn't come, take the necessary steps.

 

Well, that would indeed be a neat option but only a handful of countries can withdraw from to a bank account. The OP is from India and that option is not available.

 

Gettingt a cheque from Paypal, always take time. Also once you receive it, it will take another three weeks or so, just to clear it. I would advise you to exchange your paypal funds with any reputed DP member, the next time.

 

The Paypal checks are usually drawn on the local bank as in the case of India. Once you get it, you can just drop it in the bank like a local check and it will clear within a day.

 

Its true that if i just drop it in the bank like a local check and it will clear within a day.

There are no problems after we receive the cheque . The only back drop is that ,once the cheque is issued one cannot track it , till our POST MAN drops it in our mail box.

its been around 25 days now

 

if i don't have bank account can i receive money through paypal? Actually i have one account but paypal doesn't recognise that , every time giving some errors. I have consulted with some guys, "they told me that paypal people would email you when you receive money in paypal account and you don't need any bank account."

 

Basically, it is not possible to answer that question without knowing which country you are in.

Look at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-approved-signup-countries-outside and if your country is listed with the 'Receive' or 'Localized' list then you can receive funds.

If your country is not listed in the 'Receive' section then there is no way you can receive payments. Some countries such as Turkey, Malaysia and so on can receive funds but can only receive to a US Bank account in which case, if you do not have a US Bank account then you do not need to add it to receive. The only catch in that case is that you cannot cash out your money unless you have a US Bank account, however you can use the balance to make paypal purchases.

 

There are times when i got a cheque issued with in 15 days here in INDIA, and the only time it took over 30 days was when i withdrew a cheque in December .

Today i was really depressed to see that even today i dint get the cheque , its been 25 days now.

Did anybody in india face this same problem before ? what do you think would have happend

I think its about time pappal gives us inidans an option of transfering funds form our paypal account to our local bank account

 

Wait. If it has taken greater than thirty days once, it can happen again. Bank transfers won't happen- atleast in the foreseeable future.
