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.

This actually started happening yesterday, dont worry after a few hours, money will appear in your account. Seems to be a major glitch with Pay Pal. Yesterday it took 3 hours before money showed up in my account.

Is there a glitch with Paypal payments lately?
I have an eBay item showing as paid with Paypal but when I click on view Paypal transaction it brings up a Paypal ad.
When I search on Paypal the $ and transaction aren't there.
They only bought the items a few hours ago.
When I call Paypal I can't even get through to the automated system I just get a busy signal.
I'm not new to eBay; I have been selling for 12 years so I don't think I am missing anything like a rookie mistake.
Anybody having the same problem/know anything? I don't see any threads on this.
Thanks for any help!!

Hi all
apologies for this post, but I can't find any recent post about it.
I just received an email from ebay that a person bought one of my items, it is show as paid but
there are no money for that transaction on my paypal account. I checked the email provided on the same
auction and it is right, no spelling mistakes.
Can anyone help me with that? I'm not a new seller, it is two years that I'm selling on ebay but this is the first time that
happened to me.
Thank you!
