can someone tell me why my PayPal balance was going to minus?
Yesterday i received payment from my customer $23.89, my balance before the payment complete was $0.80
After the payment captured, my balance was -$4.96
PayPal notified me about minus balance, then i sent $5 from my personal PayPal account
My question:
What is -$27.50 transaction?
i didnt see anything bill/payment about that?
what that mean?
Could PayPal delete any transactions?

Hey hertatobs,
I'm sorry to hear about the negative balance and unrecognized transaction - I definitely understand how that can be a concern. Based on the information and screenshot you provided, it either means there was a dispute placed against a transaction you received and the balance was placed on hold, or the funds were reserved for an order placed on the account. For specifics, I would advise contacting us so we can sort out what caused the negative balance and ensure everything is in order. 🙂 Have a great rest of your day!
