A person from the USA made me a transfer of 400 USD (sent me a photo) and I am from Spain and I still haven't received anything. So how long do international transfers take to arrive? And I should have received an email like that person sent me money but I still can't have it or something?

Payments are more or less instant but allow a couple of hours.

 

If you have not received it then..........

 

1. Have you confirmed your email address?

2. Check the sender sent to the correct email address and didn't make any spelling errors / typos.

3. Check the currency that they sent, if it was USD then have you added that currency as a receiving currency in your Paypal wallet?

4. Sure it wasn't a scam?

5. Ask what it says on the transaction on the senders Paypal account ie sent / payment / completed / pending or unclaimed?
