How Long Does It Take to Transfer From UpWork to PayPal?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 12:27 pm

PayPal is one of the most popular payment processors in the world, and for good reason. It’s fast, convenient, and secure. But if you’re new to the platform, you may be wondering how long it takes to transfer funds from UpWork to PayPal.

The answer depends on a few factors, including the country you’re in and the withdrawal method you’re using. In most cases, it takes 1-2 business days for the funds to appear in your PayPal account. However, if you’re using an eCheck, it may take up to 5 days for the funds to clear.

PRO TIP: PayPal may place a hold on your funds if you are a new seller or if you have a history of chargebacks. If this happens, it can take up to 21 days for the funds to be released.

If you’re looking to withdraw your earnings as quickly as possible, we recommend using the Instant Transfer option. This will typically result in the funds appearing in your PayPal account within minutes. However, there is a small fee associated with this method (usually around $0.30).

All in all, transferring funds from UpWork to PayPal is a relatively quick and easy process. Just be sure to select the withdrawal method that’s right for you and take into account any fees that may be associated with it.
