If you will reach full retirement age in 2017, you may earn up to $3,740 per month without losing any of your benefits, up until the month you turn 66. But for every $3 you earn over that amount in any month, you will lose $1 in Social Security benefits.
Re: How long will my refund take to clear? If you funded the original paypal payment to the seller with a debit or credit card then it won't go back to your paypal balance. Once marked as completed it will automatically go back to your bank account or credit card but takes up to a week to process through to the bank and a bit longer for a c.c.
This was the email I received from paypal... You've received an eCheque payment. An eCheque may take 5-7 working days to clear, so you'll see the transaction status set as 'Pending'. The buyer's bank gets a request to pay PayPal. PayPal receives the funds from the buyer's bank. PayPal will transfer the money to your PayPal account after the funds have cleared and will not be at risk of being reversed by the buyer's bank. Your buyer has sent the payment, but we suggest you wait until the eCheque has cleared before posting the item.
