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.

I received 3 payments today on my business account and all show up. The transaction times were 615am, 7am, and 145pm. However on my personal account I got a payment around 2pm and it's not showing at all. I can see the transaction details if I go from eBay to "see PayPal tranaction" but no funds added to account.

I've sent money, but it's not being received or being shown as sent. This is pretty frustrating.

Same here,
Sold item on our shop, payment confirmed but :
- No emails from Paypal.
- No payment in history.
From past experience, I guess may will come later and payment too, but order processing is delayed because of this.
Paypal should act quickly !
