Well this is troubling.

February 23, 2017

Payment of $25.00 received.

Receipt No: Omitted due to posting "rules".

How quaint - strange, peculiar, or unusual in an interesting, pleasing, or amusing

Payment of $25.00 received.
Receipt No: Omitted due to posting "rules".

Glad to see someone (PayPal) is getting the money.

Unfortunately, if there is no resolution (within 3 business days) to the continuous aquisition of my funds by PayPal, I will be forced to:

1) Close my PayPal account

2) Report these and other potential irregularities to the United States Federal Reserve Board.

I await a resolution,

Were you using Sandbox to test your PayPal buttons or something?

Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

You didn't see the transactions on your account but were you able to get the transaction info? Reads as if you got them from PayPal notification emails, yes? Check if the emails are real.

FUrthermore, have you contacted customer service? This is user forum and we do not have access to your account to troubleshoot.

Something suspicious.

No transactions on your summary or activity pages, yet you have transaction details. Where do you get the details.

And then the receipt number shows "prohibited" as if you were doing something against PayPal or regulatory policies, so no money was paid.

And then you have a payment listed to yourself.

It would seem appropriate for PayPal to limit and account with this much suspicious activity.

If my assumptions are incorrect, the please provid information about what really happened.

No. I don't even know what Sandbox is.

I received the PayPal notifications by email.
Furthermore, have you contacted customer service? This is user forum and we do not have access to your account to troubleshoot. https://www.paypal.com/us/selfhelp/contact/call
I didn't know what avenue to take to source that information. Thank you very much for the link.

From the notifications that were sent to me via email

And then the receipt number shows "prohibited" as if you were doing something against PayPal or regulatory policies, so no money was paid.
Prohibited means that when I tried to include the actual receipt numbers in the post I would get a message in red at the bottom of the posting box stating that xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx was prohibited and needed to be removed.

And then you have a payment listed to yourself.
Yes, that was my way of testing to see if the button code was functioning properly (the receipt number was my credit card number and that is likely why it was prohibited to post it).

It would seem appropriate for PayPal to limit and account with this much suspicious activity.
Hmmm . . . my bank shows the payment I made to myself yesterday as a temporary authorization, yet my PayPal account still shows no activity..

I will contact customer service and post the results here.

Be Well,
