    PayPal Error - Payments appear to be in limbo

    Hey everyone,

    Just a shout out that paypal seems to have "eaten" payments that I've sent (on an irregular basis) today.

    It seems to me that once it has been sent, and you press "click here to view transaction details" you will get that info, but when you in turn go to your overview, you will see that while your balance has decreased, it does not appear in your history nor has the receiver received the funds. (This was visible when I tried it with the third error, with the ones before I just went to overview directly).

    This is just a heads up to be careful with paypal payments. A second error's cash turned up 15 minutes later, but the first still has not yet (which was sent 1.5h ago). Currently I'm awaiting on a third's transfer results. (decided to do a $900 transaction in 9 transactions to avoid $900 being lost in limbo).

    I've posted this in community as well, hoping that more people will be aware of this annoying error.

    Happened to me thismorning also, i bought a guide for IKOV and went to pay, money was taken from my account but no transaction history on paypals end. Quite frustrating and now i look like a dodgy seller/buyer.

    There's nothing you can do to predict / control this. Happens to us sometimes too. Seems to be more common recently than it was in the past. Good to have this warning here so others can see that Paypal payments are not always instant.

    Thanks for the updates R2p/Divica & Darbss.

    I had no idea this ever happened, so as soon as it occurred I offered my seller (a first time-client) to give the gold to an OMM to hold while we waited it out.

    Update: The first payment has still not arrived/shown in my history. The last 4 payments which were all delayed (!!!!!!!) all arrived eventually. Coincedentally two went directly away as soon as I sent a complaint to PayPal, making me send in a "Sorry" email after :p

    This just happened to me earlier today. It's quite frustrating, and it's really a pain in the ass. I guess that's just how paypal is though...

    Same happened to me yesterday, received it this morning. Most of the time it's just instant for me though.

    Used the "Contact Us" form. Apparently, even though I had to give a detailed description there that they said would give a response within 24h, it only gave an automated email with some info and the msg that I had to email them if it wasnt fixed by then.

    So I did that a few hrs ago, waiting until tomorrow for the reply I guess.

    My payment went through, when I checked my email this morning I got a confirmation that it was sent.

    I never did any other payment than the one that disappeared; you dont want to pay x3 the necessary amount :p

    Try what I did:

    1: Click on the "Contact Us" link
    2: If you can call, I'd say call. If not, send in an email via PayPal's ticket system.
    3: Check your email. You should have an AUTOMATED response that you still need to reply to in order for them to do something.
    4: Wait -24h and it should be fixed.

    I don't use Paypal for exactly this reason, but I've always heard calling them will get your issue resolved quickly (not because they are particularly helpful, but just because they want to get you to shut up and go away).

    Paypal has to be one of the worst companies I've ever dealt with.

    PayPal has infinitely better support than most payment companies. Just try and get assistance from Skrill or WU...

    Paypal's business hours close at 4pm locally. That is a bit annoying but atleast they fixed it quickly anyway.

    I have to agree on R2Pleasent. I had some problems with PayPal in the past and they resolved it pretty quickly, unlike other companies.

    Anyway, glad to hear you received your money. :)
