Hello, A couple of days ago i sold something and the buyer said the he payed me via paypal. On my recent asctivity section, it says that the payment status is "marked as paid" but it's been 3 days and i still didn't revieve any money. it also says that it was a paypal gift and "The amount can take up to 24 hours to reflect in your PayPal balance." it's been over 3 days now, is it normal for it to take this long or have i been scammed? Thank you in advance.

I honestly want a response form PayPal. PayPal's gift option gives the most security to the seller as the buyer can't claim his money back (at least that's what it is) and it's supposed to take about 24 hrs to receive the money.

This is annoying as **bleep**. PayPal. PLEASE.

If you are selling on paypal and asking buyers to use the gift option then you are not supposed to and risk your account possibly being limited if paypal suss it.

 

If you want a reply from paypal then contact customer services.

The buyer himself chose the gift option

I have just sold my knife on csgo aswell he was from the usa and transferred the money into my account as euros. I thought he was from europe lol! He said it can take up to 24hrs and he is keeping me as a friend until the payment has gone through properlly. Before, my friend from norway put £20 into my account and it went straight though. Any one got their money?

Hey hon, you've been scammed. The exact same thing has happened to me.

I'll link you a youtube video of what has happened, it should skip to the bit i want you to watch. We're all victims of stupid low-lives.
