Where is the Message Centre?

I've been sent an email by PayPal telling me to look in the Message Centre for a message from them. But there's no sign of the links I'm told to look for. This is what I was told to do:

  1. Log in to your PayPal account.
  2. Under 'More about your account', click Message Centre.
  3. Click on the message you wish to view.

Trouble is, there's no link called 'More about your account'.  I've rung customer help and they can't tell me where to look.  I'm logging in to the business account.

 

Anyone know where it might be?

It is now over a year and for BUSINESS accounts there is still no link to the "Message Venter" despite everything posted on this thread. Is this PayPal's idea of a joke?

Hi fellow frustrated paypal users!,

 

I have had the same problem with finding the dreaded message centre. trying things all day to rectify the rubbish system paypal have going, 

 

The only thing i have found that works is the mobile version (not the app) on safari on iphone! When you click 'help' on the right hand side the message centre is below phone suport!!

 

On the desktop version on macbook it isn't.

 

So, i'm now using my phone to answer messages.

 

Hope this helps someone.

 

What a nightmare. SORT IT PAYPAL!

 

below are screenshots of what i see for reference:

Hope i helped someone 🙂

If you go to the Summary page then look on the left-hand side as you scroll down, you'll go past your account balance - bank accounts and cards - selling tools and under selling tools you'll see the 'more about my account'. Directly under there you will find 'veiw your messages' 🙂

This seems to apply to personal acc not business accs

Its the business accs that seem to have a problem finding it not the peraonal ones

Hi I think I've just found (by accident) where the message centre is. If like me, you're using an iPad, simply touch the *Help* link bottom left. Then swipe right to left on the screen. Voila! The cheeky message centre lurking in the shadows on the right hand side. The problem is basically PayPal haven't optimised the page for viewing in portrait mode, and have too much on the page, so that the message centre and contact links are cut off, and you don't even realise they are there unless you swipe right to left. Hope this helps👍🏻
