Dear Paypal Community. I am posting this after being treated with disdain by paypal and hoping a manager will find it who can act. Or another user can come forward with this same issue I can recontact paypal with. On Monday 17th August I transferred £50 by fast transfer from my bank to my paypal account. The payment appeared for 2 minutes on my balance then vanished (which I have never seen happen before) and paypal said they did not have it. My bank confirmed it was definitely received and with paypal. Then when I asked paypal for an email confirming it is not in their system as instructed by my bank, the lady could not. She advised there was a technical issue affecting a small number of users, causing payments to go missing. So paypal were now admitting this their technical issue. She told me to wait till Thursday (20th). All users who had this happen she said were to have the payments returned to their banks, or placed in their paypal accounts. However by the 20th nothing had arrived to either account despite her promises. I contacted paypal again. They said wait 24 more hours. I contacted paypal again 24 hours later as they asked (now 5 days later). I was told to send a bank statement. I was told this time I would definitely get an email confirming paypal did not have the payment. No email arrived. I chased why I still had no email - Paypal did not reply. My bank can offer full written correspondence paypal have the payment. Paypal cannot offer me anything of any kind. This indicates the problem with paypal which they should resolve. It would seem that paypal have just taken the £50, placed it in their system, admitting this their technical error, and keeping my money. No one will help. The £50 is an important sum of money. Money is very difficult with Covid 19 for us all and I am 55 with arthritis and it was to buy stamps to post my parcels. I am just asking for an email they have not got the money. Paypal will not issue me with this. My bank again confirmed today paypal have the payment. Has this happened to anyone else. Stephanie
