You may receive a notice that money was sent by you which you already know by card statement or Bank Account But PayPal has not made any provision to send you an email when the intended person has withdrawn the money or acknowledged receipt of the intended funds. I can find no where in settings to set this up or make intended changes to PayPal procedures. If the money is not automatically transferred to a credit card or bank account by the settings menu then the money is unclaimed and is sitting in the PayPal bank account ready to be sweeped if the transaction is forgotten by the sender and was not notified that the recipient withdrew the funds. I think PayPal needs to be more transparent less clandestine in their behavior.
