Hello @Nag777, Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting! And that you @kernowlass. I'm sorry to hear that you are facing an issue while trying to add Egyptian bank account to your PayPal account. I would like to inform you that it is not possible to link an Egyptian bank account to PayPal. You can only add the U.S. bank account or a Visa credit/debit card. If you do not have the U.S. bank account, you can contact your local bank and check if they have an option to provide U.S. bank account.  Regards, Shriharsha. ... View more

Hello @Shnfire. Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting! I understand you're concerned about the withdrawal from your bank account to PayPal. I suggest that you check if you are able to find the transaction details in your PayPal account. If you are able to see the transaction, check if this payment was done by you. If not, please go ahead and report it in the resolution center. Click on this link for the steps to report the transaction. When a transaction shows on your bank or card statement but not in your PayPal account that is an indication that someone has obtained your financial information and used it without permission. Reporting the transaction to the bank and having them close the affected account is essential and the bank is responsible for refunding the unauthorized payment. This is a case of Unauthorized Stolen Financials and you need to work with your bank or card issuer to report the issue and obtain a refund. I hope this helps. Regards, Shriharsha. ... View more

Hello @Mayuna, Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!  I understand that you would like to know if you need to report tax for the funds received from other country. Beginning January 1, 2024, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) implemented new reporting requirements for payments received for goods and services, which will lower the reporting threshold to $600 USD for the 2024 tax season from 2023’s threshold of $20,000 USD and 200 transactions. Here’s some more details. When you receive a Goods & Service payment, you will need to report the tax. You can also check your tax reporting by following the steps provided in this link. You can contact us directly through the ''Contact Us'' page to get the account-specific information.

Hey @tigercat71, Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!   I understand that you are concerned about the payment that you have received from the people, which is more than the total bill. I know it's confusing, and you would like to know if it's legit. Usually, when you receive a payment, you will receive a confirmation email from us. Also, you will be able to see the details on the activity page. I request that you double-check the payment details in the activity log. If you are able to see the payments but they're on hold, please wait for 21 days to get the funds back. Click on this link to learn more about the payment hold. If you are unable to see the details on the activity page, please do ship the item or provide a service. Also, if a buyer files a dispute or asks for a refund, you can provide the requested information in the resolution center. We will review the case, before we close the dispute or issue a refund.  I hope this helps.  Shriharsha. ... View more
