@Stinkywow     If you bought something online with a debit or credit card and did NOT log into your paypal account then of course it won't show on your paypal account as you bought as a 'guest buyer'. However your seller may have processed that payment using their Paypal 'card reader' and so Paypal would show on your bank or card statement. If that is not the case then contact customer services AND your card issuer to query the transactions. If you need to open a dispute for a 'guest buyer' transaction then you can....... 1. Phone Paypal customer services and see if they will open one for you OR 2. Contact your card issuer for a chargeback.   Customer services. Click on the words "Help / Contact" at the bottom of paypals pages and use the phone option in the blue band at the top OR very bottom of page dependent on what country you are in. Scroll down past the list of help questions and click on 'Call us' bottom of that page. Log in and get the code. Freephone from a UK landline or UK mobile number. OR have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter? You can send them a personal message from their facebook or twitter pages. It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPalUK and @AskPayPal for Twitter.   ... View more

@Stinkywow   If you didn't fund the paypal payment via a debit card but via bank transfer then   >>   Have you bought anything and paid for it via paypal since the payments should have gone in?? The reason i ask is that if you have funds in your paypal balance and then buy something then paypal will always take from those funds (as that is now the default funding source), rather than from your normal funding source eg bank account or card. To check go and click on the word "details" next to any recent paypal buying transaction and see if they were funded from your paypal balance ie buyers payments rather than your normal funding source.     ...
