Do you mean payments from your buyers, or money you are withdrawing from your Paypal account?

If the former, the money does not automatically go into your bank account, it sits in your Paypal account until you withdraw it. It will usually show in your Paypal account immediately, unless the buyer doesn't have a bank account linked to their Paypal which means it will be what is called an Echeque and these can take 5-7 days to clear before the funds are available in your Paypal account.

If the latter, it used to be 2-4 working days, but of late has been much quicker and sometimes overnight.
