@william20018    Yep sometimes paypal will 'review' a friends / family transaction for security reasons and to make sure its not a seller using it to evade paying their fees on a sale of goods. Normally its no longer than about 24 hours. ... View more

@Ali9939    How do I open a dispute with a seller when a purchase goes wrong? You can open a dispute in the Resolution Centre of your PayPal account within 180 days of payment if: •You don’t receive the item •You receive an item but it’s significantly different than the description on eBay or on the seller’s website By opening a dispute, you can communicate directly with your seller to work out a problem transaction. If you reach an agreement with the seller you can close the dispute. If you're still not happy with the result, you can escalate the dispute into a claim. We'll review the claim and decide on reimbursement. These steps apply to Personal accounts. If you have a Business account, please log in to see the steps that apply to you. To open a dispute: 1.Log in to your PayPal account. 2.Near the bottom of the page, under 'More about your account', click Resolve a problem in our Resolution Centre. 3.Click Dispute a Transaction. 4.Select the button beside the transaction you want to dispute, then click Continue. 5.Select ‘Item dispute’, click Continue and follow the on-screen instructions. Note: •Generally buyers must wait at least 7 days from the date of payment to escalate a dispute for an item not received •Where an item has not been received, please ensure you have given the seller enough time before opening a dispute https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/first-dispute DO NOT CLOSE THE DISPUTE UNTIL YOU HAVE A CLEARED REFUND OR YOUR ITEM WHATEVER THE SELLER SAYS. ALSO DON'T FORGET TO ESCALATE THE DISPUTE TO A CLAIM WITHIN 20 DAYS IF THE SELLER DOES NOT REFUND. If that does not work then if you funded your paypal payment via a card then contact your card issuer and see if they will do a chargeback for you. ... View more

@Biggreen    Normally funds are released when tracking shows delivery of the item + 1 day OR 21 days if no tracking. As you sent trackable then I don't think that there is an option for buyers to confirm receipt, that is for 'services' or 'collect' items when you mark the service as 'delivered'. ... View more

@ajeelyousef    As paypal is country specific then its not only against paypal rules to open a paypal account from another country equally it won't work for you and you will never be able to verify it.

@timbo649    Summary of what we know so far based on available information is....   1. Paypal does not protect fraudsters which is why they give you advice against being scammed and provide 'some' buyer protection to help you if you find yourself in that situation. 2. Paypal helps you with shipping costs via their 'return shipping on us' policy as long as you have activated it at some point before the transaction. However Paypal can't be responsible if you choose to purchase internationally and get ripped off for any higher costs due to that choice. 3. Paypal often do tell you to return fake goods if the country it is from it is legal to sell those goods BUT equally as long as you provide written proof from a company that sells or produces the item then sometimes they will tell you to bin it. However the onus is on the buyer to provide said proof otherwise every buyer would just say 'fake' to save returning a sellers goods. 4. This forum is a 'user to user' help forum and yes there are moderators. However no one apart from the above poster has been abusive about another. And equally this forum helps many folks on a daily basis from being scammed, unfortunately we can't help everyone but unfortunately those 'ones' tend to blame Paypal / moderators / volunteers / users / forum for their own mistakes.   If someone wants to hear from an official member then thats easy, they just contact customer services, this is located via help / contact bottom of paypal pages and varies country to country. ...

@melissa6980    If its 'sent' then it would have been a friends / family payment that has completed through to the paypal account linked to the email address you sent it to.   So if your friend says they have not received it then either your friends is fibbing (not saying they are but its an option) OR you made a mistake with the email address ie spelling mistake or error and its gone through to that mis-spelled email address that is correct to another person. ...
