Hello @Skajic87

 

If you don't see the payment in the PayPal account activity it sounds like this may be an authorization. An authorization is when PayPal has initially requested funds from the bank or card company. If the PayPal system allows the transaction to complete PayPal will collect the funds from the bank/credit card. If the transaction is denied, this will mean that PayPal wouldn't collect the funds from the bank/credit card. Typically authorizations will expire within 5 business days.
