Last night I withdrew money from my pay pal to my current bank account which is still pending. But my name on my pay pal is slightly different to the one on my bank account. I need my money asap but wanted to know if this is why the money is still pending?? Not sure what to do

Welcome to the community @emily0100,


Don't worry, this sounds to be a standard review. Withdrawals can take anything from 2-72 hrs to complete. You should find some additional information on the process Here.

If you have a withdrawal pending, please allow the 72 hours to pass first @emily0100. After, we would suggest making sure your name is correct. You can submit a request to change the name on your Personal/ Premier PayPal account for a typographical error or a legal name change (marriage, divorce, legal). We’re unable to change the name on a PayPal account to a different person's name. To start the process click on 'Update' next to your name in the 'Settings' section of your PayPal account.

Hi,

 

We have a client who always makes his payment via PayPal. Recently he is not paying for the goods we have given him and we have all the tracking numbers to prove that he has received all of our items.

 

What are the steps that I can take to have him pay us? Can I send an invoice or such and make a dispute?

Hi @MrWilsonS,

 

Sorry to hear this. We would not recommend sending any items or providing any services until you see the relevant payment in your PayPal account. You can certainly send an invoice, you should find all of the information you need Here. You are unable to open a dispute as such for an item/service you have not been paid for. I hope you get to the bottom of this with your buyer directly.

Hi,

 

Kindly correct me. What i'm getting from the response is PayPal cannot do anything to penalize the buyer who did not pay?

If you have sent the item before being paid then I am afraid we cannot force someone to pay you @MrWilsonS. See our Seller Protection Policy Here.

 

Sorry this was not the answer you were hoping for,
