How long?

How long should it take for me to receive over 5000 from another PayPal user. It’s been almost 12 hours and no sign of it. I have the transaction Id from the payee end. But I’m unsure how to search and see if it is pending.

If it was pending then it would still show on your paypal account balance, if it isn't then...............

 

Make sure its not a SCAM.

Make sure the email address you provided was correct and they used that one with no spelling errors.

Was it in your countries currency or can you accept the currency sent?

Is your email address verified?

Do you have a linked back up card to verify your paypal account?

Have you received funds before?

 

Also..........

 

What does it say next to the transaction in your SENDERS Paypal account?

1. Pending / Unclaimed.
2. Pending / Unclaimed with a cancel option.
3. Completed / Sent.
4. Pending / Uncleared.
5. Pending awaiting authorisation.

Yes but it says it was sent following the 17 digit reference but it has the change amount option or cancel. I’ve never received money on here before and i have my cards here to verify.
