Hello all...

Ok, I'm wondering what is the average time for a Linden-to-US dollars transfer take when sending the funds to Paypal? I sent the transfer early Monday morning... it's now Wednesday afternoon... and still no funds in Paypal.

Any advice or info is appreciated!

Thanks,
X

Having never done it myself, I've heard 72 hours. Let me know how it goes, I've wanted to do this from time to time myself.

Takes a few days, more or less. I wouldn't be worried yet. :)

well on the Process Credit page, it says 0-5 days... but many people I've talked to said it was same-day... so... *shrugs*

I've had it be anywhere from half an hour to 4 or 5 days. Most often it's around 3 for me.

It tells you on the Process Credit page...0-5 business days. The fifth day would be next Monday, so I wouldn't worry about it until then.

The way you worded the question is a little confusing. Lindens to US dollars is a transaction that takes place entirely at LL, and can take a day or so for a well priced limit order. I've heard 3-5 days for US$ to be transferred from LL to Paypal, but I haven't tried it. You cannot directly trasfer L$ to Paypal as US$.

For what it's worth, I just received $$ into PayPal from Linden Lab. Took 2 days.

The 5th business day from today would be next Wednesday, wouldn't it? :confused:

(Business days means Mon-Fri here anyway)

The OP sent his transfer request on Monday morning.

I had noticed, a few times at least, that when processing my credit on a Tuesday I seemed to get the money in my Paypal a lot faster, sometimes the same day.
But.... I processed funds just this last Tuesday and it's Thursday now, no funds yet but maybe it will happen today?
I wonder if there is a certain day that they go thru faster, because it sure seemed like Tuesday was IT for me:)

If you are doing a to Paypal transfer, my recommendation is to cash out through SLExchange and do it through their Mass Paypal system. I usually get the USD to Paypal in minutes rather than days through them. The fees for this are on par with LL's to boot.

I will definately try SLexchange next time!
Actually just about 20 minutes ago my LL funds were deposited into my Paypal account, so it was less than 48 hours. Maybe there is something to my Wednesday theory? LOL

But yeah, minuts sounds MUCH better than days, 'specially since it always takes a day or two for the Paypal withdrawal to reach my bank account and this will just cut some waiting time out.

I think LL staff pays on Monday or Tuesday, Wednesday and maybe Thursday or Friday, but surely not every day: i usually exchange on Friday, on Sunday US$ are credited, and on Wednesday paypal is credited, but I'm in a different time zone so it may be all shifted.
