    I am using Paypal for a few of my forms for fee processing and I wanted to know how long it takes for the payments to deposit to my paypal account.

    As far as I know, it should be immediately after form submission. If you haven't receive anything yet, it might be an incomplete payment. 

    Please check this guide to view incomplete payments:

    Also, please check this one to know what an incomplete payment is:

    I would recommend you to enable Paypal IPN (Instant Payment Notification), which is a POST message sent by Paypal whenever a transaction is completed on their side:
