As you have no record of the transfer and she says the funds are unclaimed, the only possible reason would be that she used the wrong email address or perhaps miss typed your address.   From your side, there's nothing you can do.  She can cancel the unclaimed payment from her account, then resend to the correct email address.  If she does not cancel the payment, after 30 days, an unclaimed payment is automatically canceled and the money is returned to the sender.

 

To cancel an unclaimed payment:

  1. Log in to your PayPal account.
  2. Click History.
  3. Click Cancel under Order Status/Actions.
  4. Click Cancel Payment next to the unclaimed payment.

Note:

  • A payment is automatically cancelled if the recipient doesn’t accept it within 30 days.
  • If you paid with a credit card, it can take up to 30 days for a refund to appear on your card statement.
