Have you added USD as a receiving currency on your paypal account?

Click on paypal balance > manage currencies > then you should see an option to add a currency.

Yes, i have Euro and USD. I change it to USD to be primary just in case. Any other ideas??

ok then possible reasons...

1. Scam and you were not paid?

2. The sender made a mistake with your email address so the payment was not received.

3. You haven't verified your paypal email address to receive payments?

4. The sender cancelled the payment as it was unclaimed for 30 days.

But i really dont understand ,yesterday i got the notification that i got the money. Under with small letters was something like it may take 24 hrs to show up on your balance. And this 24 hours passed and still nothing. I cannot even find this message from yesterday. And it looks like i never received anThing because even my history is empty...

Then it sounds like a scam because paypal payments are more or less instant AND paypal tell you to never send anything until the funds are showing in your paypal account balance.
