Paypal e-cheques, help required

    Recently, I noticed Paypal have started sending e-cheques to sellers I'm buying goods/services from. It used to to be an instant payment from my bank account but it now it takes several days for this e-cheque to clear.

    Now I didn't ask for this, so can anyone tell me why they've changed to this system, and if I can get it changed back?

    Some sellers have started refusing these e-cheques (since they have to wait several days for payment to clear), and I'm now missing out on important services (esp from DP users).

    I can understand it if its for my protection, but there's no explanation on the paypal site, and no warning that this was going to happen.

    Can anyone clarify why this is happening and what I can do about it?

    Yes it takes alot of time to clear around 10 days


    I got two echeques for a paid directory link which took more than 10 days


    probably you can email the seller than an echeque will take more than 10 days to clear
