"PayPal experienced a brief technical issue yesterday during a planned system update which resulted in some consumers being unable to see a transaction in their account history after it had processed. And, some merchants may not have received immediate payment.  
 
The technical issue has been fixed and PayPal is working to have these transactions reflected accurately for both consumers and merchants. 
 
We apologize for any inconvenience."
 
Hi everyone,

FAQs
 

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.

Check out their math! it's correct at the 3rd transaction from the bottom, but it gets interesting after that!  The current balance is $361.28 less than it should be...

Same thing happened to me. What jacks me is Paypals lack of follow up to my complaint, still missing the money going on 26 hours now. It all adds up and is a huge amount for Paypal to have. I am wondering if they are hoping no one will follow up? Makes me angry that we have really no recourse. How does one file a class action lawsuit I wonder????

This is getting ridiculous. I've been waiting approx. 24 hours now and I know for a fact that others have been waiting upward of that. I guess Paypal doesn't fear any legal action being taken against them b/c even after being threatened with it more than once on these forums and across the net they still haven't resolved this issue.

 

I feel even worse for people with kids. Families deopending on that to go through so they can have money to provide.
