Hello @RedOne-72, Welcome to the PayPal Community! We're glad to have you here. PayPal will seek to verify US Tax payer information generally after receiving your first Goods/Services payment. While most users will transact as Friends/Family, there are times where the sender may provide the payment to you as Goods/Services by mistake. Certain states have lower reporting requirements also and so this can also prompt our system to request additional information from you to be ready in issuing a 1099-K form should you meet the required reporting thresholds. You can learn more about how we report to the IRS here. I hope this helps you out!    ... View more

Hello @Cyberposh, Welcome to the PayPal Community! We're glad to have you here. This is frustrating to see and I too would be a bit annoyed in this situation. From what you have shown and described, it appears the merchant is failing to accept the payment potentially. It may be best if you see whether this item or order can be placed with another merchant. Another option would be to get in contact with us directly to see if an agent can help to identify if there is any issue within our ability to assist with from PayPal's side. To get in contact with us, please visit the PayPal webpage and scroll to the bottom where you'll see 'Contact' listed.

Hello @ian164, Welcome to the PayPal Community! We're glad to have you here. If the order status is "Pending," your order has been received by the seller, but your payment has not yet been processed. For most purchases, the seller will complete the payment within a few days of receiving the order. For purchases of goods, many sellers will complete the payment when they are ready to ship your purchase. For some purchases, such as services, rentals, or hotel stays, the seller will complete the payment after your purchase is fully delivered. The status of an order will continue to display as pending until it expires, is completed, or has been voided, which can take up to 30 days. You'll want to contact the merchant to have the pending charges cancelled sooner. I hope this helps you out!   ... View more

Hello @connorjseals, Welcome to the PayPal Community! We're glad to have you here. Any transaction processed as 'Goods/Services' will qualify the transaction for PayPal Purchase Protection. PayPal Seller Protection would then go into effect if the buyer should choose to dispute the payment for any reason. You can learn more about disputes, as a seller, here in our Help Center. I hope this helps you out!   ... View more

Hi @OggieWoggie,   A mobile phone is needed to confirm log ins and for other security reasons. I understand there may be some concern with PayPal requesting a mobile phone number to create or continue using your account. PayPal is always looking to create a safer, more secure payment platform for our buyers and sellers. By asking to add and confirm a mobile phone on your account, this allows PayPal to help you service your account, send/receive payments (instead of just with an email address), and prevent/alert you of potentially fraudulent activity. If the phone number on your PayPal account isn't a mobile phone, we have the option for you to use our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) instead. You should normally be able to confirm your phone by clicking "Call you with a code" button, and a one-time password (OTP) will be sent over a voice call. If you have the same phone number on your personal and business account, the phone number on your personal account will need to be confirmed in order for you to log in. At this time, this requirement is only for personal accounts.   ... View more

Hello @pau028,   Welcome to the PayPal Community! We're glad to have you here. Our claims process is an arbitration service we offer to help resolve disagreements between buyers and sellers. We review all cases objectively and with the intention of making a fair decision based on the verifiable information that is available at the time. You can respond to this claim and provide evidence by going to the Resolution Center www.paypal.com/resolutioncenter. This is where any and all claims can be managed. Most claims begin as a dispute which is open for 20 days and allows a dialogue between the buyer and seller to be held in the hopes that you may resolve the concern together. The claim will close automatically after 20 days if the case is not escalated or closed by the buyer. Once a case is escalated, we will reach out to the seller once again to collect any additional evidence regarding the claim filed against them such as tracking or proof of delivery. Following that we will review the claim over the next 10 days and come to a decision on the outcome of the claim. I hope this helps you out!   ... View more

Hello @Richie39, Welcome to the PayPal Community! We're glad to have you here. This is frustrating to hear and I'm sorry we failed you on this particular transaction.

Hello @manu4403, Welcome to the PayPal Community! We're glad to have you here. It sounds like the payment failed to complete 3 separate times but placed an authorization for the purchase each time. Authorizations like this may sit pending up to 30 days within your PayPal account. After this timeframe, PayPal can and will cancel the authorizations. Cancellation of the authorization prior to 30 days, can only be performed by the merchant as they would need to void each one. Please contact your merchant for assistance in voiding these authorizations. I hope this helps you out!   ... View more

Hello @pabarrick, Welcome to the PayPal Community! We're glad to have you here. In the past, you could connect your eBay and PayPal accounts to receive payments from your sales. Any payments received would be deposited into your PayPal balance and then could either be spent with other merchants who accept PayPal or you could withdraw the funds to a linked bank account. I am not sure eBay still allows this functionality since they have now introduced their own payment management system. I hope this helps you out!   ... View more
