Re: Is paypal gonna pay me all the interest they a...

Of course they aren't going to pay any of us interest on our money they hold without reason. I'm an author and all payments to me are for ebooks yet they hold more than half of my money for three months. It's just an excuse for them to make more money on the interest. No other credit card accepting company does the crap that this company does! Paypal is one of thee worst payment companies on the planet and that is why we use other means of accepting payments. You'd think that with ebay owning them, the people they would keep money from the least would be ebay sellers. Their customer service is the pits as well.    ... View more

I understand the concern, but it is legit.  This customer has paid for 2 of my other books in the past.  It's such a small amount it probably got lost in the shuffle.  I did pass on the email and transaction ID to paypal -- she forwarded me the email receipt she received and it is legit....and it's not in my account but at the time of the payment the email address it shows on the paypal receipt was not on my account either.  Thanks anyway -- will wait to hear back from paypal directly. ...

Money sent to an email that was not on my account

Someone contacted me last night saying they sent a payment to an email address on my website for a pre-release e-book back in August of this year and she was wondering where the books was.  She forwarded me the paypal receipt saying that it went to one of my website email addresses.  However, I do not have that address as a valid address on my paypal account.   Where did this money go if she received a receipt from paypal saying it was accepted?  I've since opened an account using that email address thinking the money would appear then. It didn't.  I then closed that account I just set up and added that email address to my existing paypal account hoping it would show up, and it still hasn't.  It was only for $3.99 but I'm more concerned about other pre-order payments I may have missed because of this.  Any ideas? ...
