What?   Click HELP on top menu, scroll down to click CONTACT US, and then scroll down to click CALL US and select the PAYPAL GUEST option if you are locked out of your account. Do not be logged on to any account when accessing the guest option as PayPal won’t discuss an account through another account.   To change name once you have access: Account Settings (gear icon) > Name > Update   The options: Change your legal name - Use a new name after marriage, divorce, etc. Update your name - Use your full name instead of a nickname, for example Make a minor correction - Fix a typo of 1 or 2 characters ...

@Larry41    If there are no account limitations or alerts on your account, it should be ok to use. Still PayPal will have glitches on the rare occasion. Giving error messages. It's not perfect.

@this4jee    If it isn't working at the moment (probably some security flag from multiple tries), then you do not need to add funds to PayPal to pay anyway. Select your bank account or another as funding source when making payment.   You can make two kinds of bank payments:   eCheck: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/what-is-an-echeck-faq1082   Instant Transfer: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-send-money-right-away-via-paypal-using-my-bank-account-faq781   Note about insufficient bank funds: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/what-happens-when-an-authorized-payment-is-returned-for-insufficient-or-uncollected-funds-by-my-bank-faq3418 ...

@bb78    You're probably trying so many times, rapid fire, that the security system is triggered/red alert and the more you do it, the longer it takes to reset.

@Mari41    When you dispute with PayPal Credit, they probably issue a provisional credit to your PayPal account while they deal with the dispute. Pending the outcome, PayPal deducts the provisional credit back if you were refunded in the dispute by the other party, if ruled in your favor. If you lost or resolved the dispute then you need to pay the provisional credit back if you took the money.   I believe this is kinda what happened. You can call customer service to confirm though: Log on, click HELP on top menu, scroll down to click CONTACT US, and then scroll down to click CALL US or other contact options.   Call early, during business hours, west coast time to try to get a US rep.     Or contact via social media: Facebook (US): https://www.facebook.com/paypal Twitter (US): @AskPayPal     ...

@Greentortois    "roommate said the $525 still wasn't in her bank account, even though she had accepted the money in paypal, her bank had no record of it, not even as pending"   Accepting/claiming the money does not automatically transfer it to one's bank account. It just goes into the PayPal balance and a manual request to transfer to the bank has to be made as a separate action/transaction.   (If one does not have a PayPal cash/cash plus balance account to use the PayPal balance features, the recipient is forced to withdraw to bank when accepting the money. Whether this happened or not, you'll need to ask recipient.)   This money is sitting unclaimed with PayPal somewhere at the recipient's PayPal account and you disputed it, in which PayPal grabs and withholds $525 from recipient's PayPal balance (perhaps putting it in the negative), pending outcome of dispute and PayPal ends up refunding you. Keep in mind, this other unclaimed $525 is still unclaimed somewhere while this is happening. Then PayPal turns right around says, "Hold up, ya'll's got this money sitting over here unclaimed(?). You (the disputer) need to pay it back" or submit more evidence/information. Yes, pay back the $525 you whisked away to your bank account after PayPal refunded you from dispute.   The Recipient has to find out where this unclaimed $525 is in their PayPal account, claim it and send it back to you or keep it for next month's rent. Things should be even Steven after that.   But what kind of dispute did you file? Item Not Received? Unauthorized?  ... View more

Watch out for Money Request that are pending and pending but no payment is received...requests marked as Paid are paid. DO NOT send payment as friends and family when buying goods and services. Friends and family payments have no purchase protection. Sketchy sellers ask for friends and family payments to "avoid fees" but really just asking to take your money with no obligation to deliver what you pay for.   Selling/Buying digitals goods can make you vulnerable to scams so try not to buy from private individuals from forums and stick to marketplaces that have buyer protection of some sort.    Not all buyer protections are 100% and have limitations. ...

@Slowboatfrom    Shipping from China take a few to several weeks. This merchant has been discussed before so a web search can pull up some stuff on them. Stick to stores you know are in the US for sure and who are reputable and know that deliver as described. You have 180 days from date of payment to dispute.   Locate payment transaction in your PayPal account activity, click it, then click "Report a problem" to file an Item Not Received (INR) dispute or  Significantly Not As Described (SNAD) dispute.   Remember to a web search on merchant/site before buying. No info on the web? Best to keep it movin'. Anyone can set up a shop or buy a facebook ad. Buyer beware. Too good and nifty to be true, it usually is. ... View more

@Maaaj    It typically takes up to 10 days for bank to contact PayPal about a problem and PayPal notifies the user of the problem. If there is no word about the transfer over 14 days, contact customer service to trace the transfer. Once the funds are back into your friend's account, I suggest the money get sent to you and you get your own bank account hooked up to your PayPal account to withdraw. If PayPal doesn't limit your friend's account for using their aunt's bank account, I would be surprised, and that bank account should be removed and replaced with bank account that is under your friend's own name.   There are typically two kinds of bank accounts: Savings and Checking (you write paper checks, or these days, set up online billing to pay people electronically). Now in the Philippines there's this confusion on whether it means "checking account" as in the type of bank account or it is in "checking" or "verification" status. Each country PayPal site seems to have different variations of features.    So you friend needs to contact customer service for assistance if it has been 14 days: Log on, click HELP on top menu, scroll down to click CONTACT US, and then scroll down to click CALL US or other contact options.   Or contact via social media: Facebook (PH): https://www.facebook.com/PayPalPhilippines/ Facebook (US): https://www.facebook.com/paypal Twitter (US): @AskPayPal   If it turns out that PayPal has to limit your friend's account PayPal account for using someone else's bank info, locking up the funds, your friend owes you that money out of pocket. ...

@negroid1    Scam. Sender has no control over the PayPal payment like that. They can't send payment via PayPal and release it on their call or after you jump through some preposterous crackpot hoop of theirs, which pretty much means no payment was sent. They's just trying to trick you to pay them. Ain't that a blip?   Once a payment is sent, its sent and receive a record of payment fairly instantly in your PayPal account. If sender wants a refund, they have contact you to request a refund or dispute you for a refund. PayPal is the one that puts payments on hold and you would still see a record of payment, marked Payment Received - On Hold with a pending balance if a payment is subject to a PayPal hold. You would need a record of transaction to get your money sooner:   Sellers/recipients do this to get money sooner (may not be available for some countries):     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.   Note: PayPal releases funds 24/48 hrs from delivery confirmation with courier by PayPal, if tracking info is provided.   Then ask buyers/senders to “confirm receipt” to release funds (may not be available for some countries):   1. Click Activity at the top of the page. 2. Find and click the original payment for the item or service. 3. Click Confirm Receipt. 4. Click Yes to confirm that you received the order.   ***Not all transactions require receipt confirmation.   Keep in mind that doing the above is optional. PayPal releases funds after 21 days provided that no problems are reported by sender to PayPal. And vehicles are not covered by seller or purchase protection. ... View more
