Questions about PayPal withdrawal.

❔ Question

So normally, I use Stripe, but I just set up a new payment method, PayPal, because Stripe requires a minimum withdrawal of $5.

I was wondering how long it usually takes to withdraw money to PayPal. From my experience with Stripe, it works like this: I withdraw the minimum amount, and it takes about two days to process. However, instead of the money going into my Stripe account, it weirdly goes directly into my bank account.

I asked my bank to check what the transaction was, and they told me it was from DeviantArt, which I found pretty strange. Stripe also had no record of DeviantArt depositing money into my account.

I was wondering if PayPal withdrawals work the same way, where the money might go directly to my bank account instead of appearing in my PayPal balance.
