receiving paypal payments

[sarahoc]

Hi, i am not very familiar with paypal. For the first time ever i am receiving a payment through paypal.  i linked my bank account to my paypal account in anticipating of this. The sender says they have sent the payment but i havent received it into my bank account yet, how many days does this usually take? i gave the payer my email address because that was all i was told he would need. thanks for your help

When a buyer pays you it is credited to your paypal account balance.

If you are a new seller then it may have pending by it and you can only withdraw it once cleared.

Then you click on 'withdraw funds' under that paypal balance and send it to any linked bank account.

NEVER send anything until the funds are showing in that paypal account balance.

Sounds like this scam, read and check.

SCAM.

They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails 'may' go into your junk or spam folders.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
