You can check on what payments are ongoing and the status of them by clicking on 'History' at the top of your PayPal account   To view your transactions - 1. Log into your PayPal account at www.paypal.com 2. Click ‘History’ near the top of the page. 3. Use the filter options to narrow your search, then click ‘Show’. Once you find the transaction you are looking for, click the Payment Status link for that transaction (eg ‘Completed’) to learn what the status means. ... View more

Having 'PayPal' in an email address is a personal choice of whoever creates the email address, it is like having 'sales' or 'admin'. It is a way of companies organizing their email traffic.   So for example, an email address with sales at the start could be sent to a companies sales team and an email with PayPal at the start could be sent to the team or person responsible for the PayPal account.   Other than the above I can't see an advantage of it.   I hope this helps ...

As part of the old PayPal Seller Protection policy it was a requirement for the buyer to have a confirmed address. There has been a change in which this is no longer needed, so seller's can post to buyer addresses in any of the 190 countries where PayPal is accepted. The change was made due to the fact that not every country around the world could confirm their address.    To learn the specific terms and conditions of PayPal Seller Protection, please refer to our User Agreement by clicking on the 'Legal Agreements' link (located at the bottom of any PayPal webpage), and then clicking on ‘User Agreement’.   I hope this information helps you   Wayne ...

Hey,   We would never discourage any negative feedback, if that is what the person leaving it felt was needed. The one thing we ask for is honesty when leaving feedback.   With regard to the deleting of topics. This would only be done if a lot of profanity was used or links were added etc.   Most of the time though we would just remove the offending work or link and allow the rest of the Topic.   ...

Hey all,   sandypurins has answered this question but there are two things I wanted to clear up.    - The main reason behind placing holds on payments is to reduce fruad on eBay and PayPal. From buying and selling on my own account I know the majority of fruad happens on high risk items and accounts new to eBay. Until a user becomes experienced, holds may be placed on their payments in order to safeguard the whole PayPal system. The more positive feedback gained as a Seller the more your reputation with eBay and PayPal is increased, which leads to holds being placed less and less.   - There is no interest gathered by PayPal as the funds never leave your account while the hold is placed. The funds are placed on hold within your account, they never leave. To PayPal, there is no different in funds on hold and funds that are not on hold. They are both within your account so no interest is gained.   I hope this information helps you all Wayne    ... View more
