Money did not reach my account

[Boss22]

Money was sent to me from a friend about a week ago and it has not appeared in my account yet. Why?

Paypal payments are more or less instant so if its not showing.........

check the email address they used and make sure there wasn't a spelling error and that its the one linked to your paypal account.

is your email address confirmed?

were they sending in a currency you have added to your paypal wallet?

sure its a real friend and not a scam?

what does it say next to the transaction in the senders paypal account ie pending/unclaimed/payment/sent/authorised?

Yes, everything is correct and it shows on my friend's page that the payment was successful but there are notes that my account is a new business and also inactive and this is the first time I receive money
