Received money, but Paypal balance is 0 ?

Hello

I received a payment today, but my Paypal balance (on the left in the new design) reads 0.00.

 

However, if I click "History" - the payment is correctly showing in the top left.

 

When I click "withdraw money" in the new site - I get the following message: "There's nothing to transfer right now. Try again when you have a PayPal balance."

 

Does anyone know why the "classic site" is correctly telling me what money I have, yet the newer looking one doesn't recognise it? I want to transfer the payment I received to my bank account.

 

Is it just a case of waiting for it to correct itself?

 

Thank you

 

Kind regards

 

Matthew

theres been a glitch.

 

click on the > next to paypal balance and then manage currencies, double check you have sterling set up as your default funding source.

I live in the UK and do YouTube videos in my spare time, I have recently got paid by a partner of mine in dollars. It says the payment is complete but It's not in my available balance. It ususally converts into pounds (£) and I can use instantly, it hasnt been in my balance for nearly a week. Wondering if I have to wait longer or something. Any help would be great. Thanks

Amount received: $5.00 USD

Fee amount:   $0.00 USD

Net amount:   $5.00 USD

 

does this mean $5 has also been subtracted becuase that is really stupid, my wallet is still $0 even though it says +$5

Hi matt292,

 

Welcome to the Community Forum!

 

I'm very sorry you can’t see your full available balance. I have a very quick and easy solution to resolve this situation.

 

Click on ‘Currencies’ under ‘Money’ tab which will allow you adding the currency you’ve received funds in.

That will automatically add the new PayPal balance for you and will allow you withdrawal.

 

Hope it helps!

 

I wish you happy transacting with PayPal Smiley Happy
