"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.

My situation is kind of the reverse. A friend owed me money, sent the funds via Pp and it took it a while to show up under completed. However it's showing nothing for the balance and it's been like this pretty much all day. It shows that the money was received but then says I have no balance. Wondering if this is happening to others.

Same thing here...last several payments made to me are showing, but the math on Paypal's end is way off.  Or non-existent!

Appears to be a glitch  >>>

 

Re: Money not in balance?
 

I just got off the phone with PayPal support (1:45pm EST) and they are experiencing some technical issues with accounts not reflecting the correct amount.  In my case, the Summary tab shows a balance while the Activity tab shows a different but correct balance.
