it takes a couple of days for the payment to go through. I think you can receive funds before the bank is confirmed, but you may not be able to actually withdraw the money.

you always receive the money right away and yes you have to confirm the two small deposits. if somebody sends you an e-check then it takes 2-3 days for it to clear. when you deposit into your account, it takes 2-3 days again.

You have to have a bank account on file to transfer funds from your Paypal account to your bank account. In order to confirm your bank account, Paypal makes 2 small deposits into your bank account, in which those amounts are your verification. I believe now Paypal has a new way to verify your account by giving them your login information.
It takes 2-3 business days before the funds from your Paypal account to transfer to your bank account.
e-Check take 3-5 business days to clear and then you must transfer it to your bank account which takes an additional 2-3 days.
Tip: If you don't want fees and charges for incoming payments, never upgrade to a premiere or business account. I think the rate is 4.9% + .30 cents on every incoming payment you receive. This is a must though for credit card payments. That is why I have always kept a regular personal account and have only accepted e-Checks or instant transfers.
