I received an email informing me that I have a pending paypal payment, but it is not showing up in my account at all (no transaction details, no money, nothing). Here's the email:

You Have A Pending Payment!
XXXXX has just sent you a payment with PayPal.


-----------------------------------
Payment Details
-----------------------------------


Amount:  $XXXX AUD
Subject:  Ebay XXXX
Note:  Payment re. Ebay Item XXXX


Simply click https://www.paypal.com/us/links/uni and complete PayPal's easy registration form to claim your money.


PayPal lets users send money to anyone with an email address. Use PayPal to settle restaurant tabs with colleagues, pay friends for movie tickets, or buy a baseball card at an online auction. You can also send personalized money requests to your friends for a group event or party.

Note: If you are already a PayPal member, click the link below to add and confirm this email address (my email address) so this payment can be credited to your account.


I clicked the link, but it just said that the address had already been confirmed and yet still nothing showed up! Anyone know anything about this?

Is your paypal address different to the address in your eBay account?

e.g
My e-mail address is mh002a6228@*****.co.uk but my registered eBay e-mail is tkbarrow04@*****.co.uk, In my Paypal account I only have mh002a6228@*****.co.uk registered to recieve money. But someone sent Payment to tkbarrow04@*****.co.uk

I got that same e-mail as the payment was sent to a e-mail address not registered with Paypal to accept Payments. You need to click the link show in the e-mail and register that address to your paypal account

Each Paypal account can have more then one e-mail address assigned to it! 

Hope that helps!

Thats it Martyn - thanks! I got confused as I have a few email addresses and forgot that my Ebay and Paypal addresses were different! Temporary brain explosion

Thanks again
