Yep, seeing the same problem. It looks like Paypal's just dropping the ball, and since they're effectively a monopoly, they're not concerned about fixing it, because what are you going to do? Switch to Venmo, which is also owned by Paypal? This is really frustrating, because I upgraded to a business account so I could plug in a script to their API and process customer payments, but it looks like it takes, on average, about 6 hours for transactions to show up in the API. Turns out customers reeeeally don't like waiting 6 hours to get a payment confirmation, and I can't blame them. This is all especially weird because transactions are instantly visible on the webpage. So not only is Paypal now taking a huge cut of all my payments, but I'm they're giving me a worthless API in return. I'm going to have to write my own interface that scrapes Paypal's website just to read transactions.
