The world is in recession, Many people are either working from home or self isolating. Paypal is a lifeline because you can normally transfer directly to your bank account. Something has happened this afternoone meaning a LOT of people are not receiving payments. Shame on you paypal some of us need our paypal funds to pay rent, feed our children. Pay bills. This is the worst time for your IT department to fiddle with your algorithm and prevent people feeding their children. Personally I have £0.12 pence in my account and would appreciate you fixing this NOW! We are in a global pandemic this is not fair! ... View more

Just got a response saying....... Hello, welcome to PayPal Messaging! My name is Jerwin. I am happy to take care of your payment query.   I understand you wish to check your payment status. I reviewed the records and the funds should reflect in your PayPal balance.   I apologize for any inconvenience but this is a known issue we are currently having in PayPal where funds are not reflecting online. Our team is currently working on a solution to fix this and they have not provided an exact time it will be done.   We guarantee that the money will post in your PayPal and we ask for your patience to bear with us.   the withdrawal may take instantly or within 72 hours as shown in the withdrawal page on your account.   Feel free to reply whenever you're ready and we'll reply as soon as we can. 3:40 PM - Jerwin <removed>      ...
