Update: Engineers are reporting the issue with transaction delays was fixed late last night (around 2am ET). Typically a transaction may take a few minutes to appear in the account activity and we are back to that normal behavior. Thanks for your patience during this issue.
Hi everyone,
Our engineers are aware of an issue right now where payments are not immediately appearing in the account activity for both senders and recipients. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and our engineers are working to fix this as soon as possible.
This issue appears to be causing a delay in when the payments appear. The transaction is initiated, it's just not appearing on the website for up to 4-5 hours in some cases (the time appears to be random).
I will update this post when we have more information and to let everyone know when the fix has been implemented.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Someone sent me $10 via Family and Friends payment today. The money is gone from their PayPal balance, but it isn't under their "Completed" tab (or mine) and I haven't received any money.
We have confirmed that it was sent to the correct email, and it has been about 2 hours.
Thanks! Any help is appreciated.

I sent 2 payments today (Oct 5th) & while the $ was taken out of my PP account its not recorded in my activity log. After 1 hr i sent aother very small payment to pay my ebay fees & that one showed up in my activityno issues. The other 2 payments have no but the $ is gone from my account. Ive read others having this issue today as well, i hope it gets fixed cause i refuse to be out the $ items i purchased. Im waiting for PP customer service to open so i can call them.
