Hey guys,
I sold a few books to someone on Monday night. We agreed on cash but when I arrived, she said she could only do a bank transfer. I saw her open the NAB app, and I looked away out of respect while she was transferring.
She showed and sent me a screenshot of the receipt. Thinking it would be pretty hard to make a fake receipt, I decided to proceed with the transaction.
It's been 2 days later, and I've opened my Westpac bank app and nothing has come in.
Was wondering if >2 business days for the funds to appear in my account is normal or not?
Thanks.
Edit: I sent a few text messages asking for the transaction ID as I called my bank and they said there was nothing. I just received my payment today. Obviously it wasn't initially sent at the time the buyer stated.
I know it doesn't help now, but register and use pay ID for instant transfers next time.
I'd hope it arrives by 10am tomorrow, sometimes 3 days seems not out of the ordinary. I wouldn't assume it isn't coming JUST yet…
