Paypal Payment (Received)

[johndallen]

Hi Everyone,

I hope someone can help here.I thought if someone paid you by Paypal it should show up in your account right away.My wife paid me 0.50p just to try my Paypal button out on my website and as yet i have not received it.Can anyone tell me why that would be,or what i need to do to rectify the issue.

I am using paypal as "Business" and not "Personnal"

Many Thanks in Advance

What does it say next to the transaction in your wife's paypal account.

1. Unclaimed.

2. Unclaimed with a cancel option.

3. Completed.

Hi Kernowlass

Theres 2 things showing on her account:

1st is unclaimed and 2nd says completed.but just checked my account again and theres no payment still

Thanks

Well i am confused now as i have never seen unclaimed and completed on the same transaction.

Do you mean x2 payments.?

If the PayPal status is Unclaimed and there is not a Cancel button next to the transaction on the Overview page, then the payment needs to be manually claimed by the seller.

This might be because the seller is new and has to claim their first payment, or because you’ve sent them a payment using your debit/credit card and they either have to manually accept the payment, or need to upgrade their PayPal account to accept it.
