Q. Why I cannot see the money in my balance? I am sure that I received a payment because I received the email confirmation.
A system change last night has resulted in an issue whereby instant bank funded transactions are not appearing on account balances. Once you received the email confirming your payment the transaction did complete but it will only appear in the account balance once this issue is resolved.
Q. Why does the system not allow me to withdraw the payment that I already received?
You will be able to withdraw the funds once the transaction appears on your account balance.
Q. I received a payment, but I cannot see the money in my balance. Should I send the parcel?
Until the payments shows as completed in your account activity log we would advise you not to send out the parcel. We expect this issue to be resolved soon therefore this shouldn't cause any major delay to your parcel send.

Having the same issue! Frustrating because in my case, I paid for something with my Paypal Debit card at a brick and mortar place and rather than rejecting b/c of inadequate balance like it usually does, it automatically took it out of my bank account. I SHOULD have the money in my PP acct but it's showing I have nothing (but when I look at the Detailed Summary, I have money). Now, because it took money from my bank account, it's going to cost me an overdraft payment. Grrr....Thanks, Paypal!

sent money to a friend so she could buy a bus ticket home. She doesn't have the money now and the only thing they will say is "Technical difficulty with the paypal system." The balance on my account is zeroed as well. Imagine if your bank did this.....

Same issue. Called Paypal and opened ticket to technical support. Got e-mail back, but support by e-mail wasn't in the loop. Person on phone at paypal said it was a widespread glitch and their technicians were working on it. I hope that's true as I recieved payment today and it is not showing on my account balance. Been using paypal for 10 years, what is happening?
