Why haven't I been paid from Paypal yet?
Feb 20, 2013 12:15 PM

I have recently sold two items, one was over a week ago and Paypal keeps stating that payment is in process.  I just sold another item last night, and still no payment?  I'm hesitant to mail these items (which could cause me trouble with Ebay) until I know for sure the money is in my account.  I though  Paypal automatically withdrew money from buyers?

Has PayPal ever automatically withdrawn money from you when you bought items? No, of course not.

Are there payments in your PayPal account? Is PayPal telling you it is okay to ship? Did you upload tracking info to show PayPal when the items are delivered?

eBay does not expect you to ship until you are paid. That is when the clock starts, not from time of sale or purchase.

 

Double check your paypal address in your listing under 'how do you want to be paid'.

 

You thought PayPal automatically withdrew money from buyers? What are you a Democrat?

 

 

Sorry, couldn't resist,

 

 


You know why I don't worry?
I've been pall bearer to many friends, all of them worried!

PayPal does not normally say payments are in process. That is an eBay terminology and it cannot be relied on, it is shown for more than one reason.

 

Login to your PayPal account directly, type www.paypal.com into your browser and look at the payment status.

 

Are they Completed even if Funds Not Yet Available? Does OK to Ship show on the Details page?

 

Ship!

 

Don't see the payments at all? You have a problem preventing payment transfer to your account. You see an hour glass on eBay right? You need to come back here and tell us what is going on for further instructions.


Never rely on eBay nor emails for accurate payment information. Login to PayPal!
