"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,
 
I know this has been a frustrating issue and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.  I want to assure you this was immediately escalated and is being worked on at a high priority.  We don't have an exact ETA but our engineers are working to fix the transactions affected by this issue as soon as possible.

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.

       Well... issue or no,  I didnt recognize ANY of the 4 charges from PayPal on my bank statement..  All told it came to $162.00.   I just went to my Wells Fargo Bank... told my Bank Manager that those charges were Fraud from PayPal... and they Promply REMOVED them!  She said they had been having a LOT of FRAUD Charges thru PayPal lately.   Next week.... I am CLOSING my PayPal account after 15 years!   Ive never had a fraud charged to my Debit Card or my Credit card with Wells Fargo.  And Ive been with them 22 years!   But 3 times in the past year PayPal has clipped me.   Hmmmmm... 3 strikes YOUR OUT!
. . . . . . . . . . .   YEA. . . .  Im good with that !

A transfer was made into my account on February 8th, 2017. However, it doesn't show in my balance. I received a confirmation that the money was made to my account but there is still nothing there. I read on the company's website that after 24 hours the money will on my account. How long will it take to receive my funds?

I placed an order today, and it hasn't shown up on my activity list and I haven't received a confirmation. Actually, I think I ended up duplicating the order because I thought the error was on my side. The merchant also has not received payment. 

 

Will you please confirm if this issue is related to the technical error or if it's a different issue?
