@Johanes1    Typically, PayPal asks you to wait 180 days to withdrawal and will email you when its time to withdrawal, then you can try to withdrawal then. You may have to contact customer service for assistance to verify your identity if you are getting error messages and tweak something on their end before you can perform the withdrawal to your linked bank account.   To reach out to customer service for assistance (message response times will be delayed limited customer service staffing due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) safety precautions): https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/home   Click MESSAGE CENTER or click LOG IN to access your message center or for live chat where available.   Or try Social media: Facebook (Worldwide): https://www.facebook.com/paypal Twitter (Worldwide): @AskPayPal   ...

@erick1115    You always make sure you have a record of payment in your PayPal account before shipping, for your protection. Don't just believe emails saying payment has been sent as they can be spoofed. The record of payment will say whether you should ship or not, and subsequently/alternatively use the print shipping label button within the transaction details in your PayPal account activity.   At this point, its a law enforcement issue so file a police (and/or ic3.gov report) and have then forward it to the recipient's local PD to try to recover your item. Or take them to small claims court. Not much PayPal can do if no payment was ever sent. You can send a PayPal invoice requesting payment but there's no guarantee recipient will pay.   Nevertheless all is not lost, as you'd have paid tuition for a lesson learned. ... View more

@christinaxjolie    If you are experiencing delayed funds availability, here are some shipping tips that may help you get your payment sooner: Add tracking information: If you provide tracking information from one of PayPal’s supported carriers in the transaction details page, your payment should be available 1 day after PayPal can confirm the delivery date.     No Shipping Info: If your item doesn't need to be shipped (e-books, piano lessons, etc.), mark the order as Processed and provide the required details.   Buyer confirmation: A buyer will receive a notification email once you've uploaded the tracking number. When your buyer confirms they've received the item, the payment will be released immediately. (You can also ask buyer/sender to confirm receipt sending them the steps below.)   Here’s how (These options may not be available for some countries):   Seller/Recipient: Add tracking information, FIRST: 1. Click Activity at the top of the page. 2. Find and click the original payment for the item or service. 3. Click Add Tracking Info. 4. Select an Order Status: Processed or Shipped (with or without tracking info).   Buyer/Sender: To confirm you've received an item: Go to Activity . Find and click the original payment for the item. Click Confirm receipt. Click Yes to confirm that you received the order. Note: Not all purchases require receipt confirmation.   If buyer/sender does not 'confirm receipt', or PayPal wasn't able to 'confirm delivery’, you may have to wait up to 21 days for PayPal's system to release.   If its past 21 days, then you'll need to contact customer service, response may take longer due to limited staff from Covid-19 safety precautions.   Please visit this page: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/home   Click MESSAGE CENTER or click LOG IN to access your message center or for live chat where available.   Or try Social media: Facebook (US): https://www.facebook.com/paypal Twitter (US): @AskPayPal   ...

@Sabre6971    Obvious question: Have you confirmed your phone number? Have a code sent to phone and verify it?   Try updating the phone settings to "Home" instead of "Mobile" and disable the SMS texting features, hit Save and then attempt to link the bank account. After that update your phone settings back to "Mobile" and enable the SMS texting features. ... View more

@Dom719    High risk transaction so the security flagged you. You will have to wait 180 days to withdrawal. It could be a misunderstanding/false positive. If you can't get a hold of PayPal customer service for an appeal, I suggest opening a case with bbb.org under PayPal San Jose CA to get PayPal Office of Executive Escalations to review your account.  ...

@rip40euros    Please follow the directions to live chat with PayPal.   If you are using a VPN or is trying to use your paypal account while abroad, you will get a "We can't confirm its you" error message. So turn any VPN off or wait until you get back to CZ to use your PayPal account. There is some issue with your IP location, PayPal can't recognize its you. ... View more

@Aidan93    PayPal charges fees for receiving domestic and cross border (intl) goods and services payments. That's how they make their money to operate PayPal. If you were sent a goods and services payment in error instead of a friends and family payment, you will be charged the PayPal fee. PayPal does not refund the fee, no matter if it is an error. The fee for cross border g&s payments is 4.4% + 30 cents while domestically its 2.9% + 30 cents. ... View more

@Gencrisher1294    Not true. Sounds like you're being scammed. PayPal does not ask you to buy and submit a gift card in order to send and/or receive/see payment in your PayPal account. If someone really paid, you should see a record of payment fairly instantly. ... View more

@KeszBreally80z    Its not really necessary to add money to pay with PayPal, just select your linked bank account during checkout.   Are you getting error messages? Maybe wait a day or two and then try to add money. Don't keep repeating failed actions rapid fire or the system will lock up, shooting out error messages.   You can add money from the "Home" page in the PayPal balance box or https://www.paypal.com/businesswallet/money     ...

@vtvc17    That is why it is so easy for seller to just block communication because there is no obligation to exchange goods and services with friends and family payments. Must be careful how you send payments, make sure you are using the goods and services option when buying.   You can click "Change" to select either "Paying for an item or service" or "Sending to a friend.” just under where you enter the amount in the payment process. ...

@vtvc17    Depends how you paid: friends and family option, no buyer protection with such payments, you only have the option to file unauthorized transaction which PayPal will deny because no one broke into your PayPal account to send the payment. You may try contacting your credit card issuer, if that is how you paid but no guarantees.   If you paid as goods and services:   Locate and click payment transaction in your PayPal account activity Click "Report a problem”.   Click “I didn't receive an item I purchased”. ...

@caeshapablo    First change your password so the person who had access to your account no longer have access.   Then have the buyer file a dispute and you issue a refund from within the dispute.   Here's how dispute can be filed by buyer:   Locate and click payment transaction in your PayPal account activity Click "Report a problem”.   Click “I didn't receive an item I purchased”. Since the money is on hold and not available, you may need to put up the money to refund, either from your available PayPal balance or your linked bank account and then await PayPal to release the funds as below. Because when a dispute is opened, PayPal deducts the amount from your PayPal account and you'll need to add money or initiate a payment so PayPal can add the amount you owe to the total and charge your card.   Or you can mark the transaction as shipped and then ask the buyer to confirm receipt to release the PayPal hold so you can issue a refund:   If you are experiencing delayed funds availability, here are some shipping tips that may help you get your payment sooner: Add tracking information: If you provide tracking information from one of PayPal’s supported carriers in the transaction details page, your payment should be available 1 day after PayPal can confirm the delivery date.     No Shipping Info: If your item doesn't need to be shipped (e-books, piano lessons, etc.), mark the order as Processed and provide the required details.   Buyer confirmation: A buyer will receive a notification email once you've uploaded the tracking number.

@Carlwineland    Scam. If the person REALLY sent payment, a record of payment will appear in your PayPal account activity fairly instantly, even if PayPal puts a hold on the funds.   eBay also doesn't ask you to buy gift cards, in order to receive a buyer's payment.   And PayPal transaction IDs do not have dashes in them.
