 And is that all your see on the transaction detials page, just a run-on line of words and numbers?  A whole page and that's all that's on the page?

 

What other line transactions are on your activity and/or summary page?

So you do have a record of the funds being received, even now?  At what point during the process of transfering the funds, did you discover the funds were gone? Was there an error message when transfering that there was no funds in your PayPal account?  Was it after you completed the transfer that the balance was showing nothing in the PayPal Balance box on the Summary page?  That is normal. But you should see a Pending transaction for the bank transfer right away.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Because as i said in my msg it was gonna take the money from my bank account I cancelled because I wanted to transfer paypal balance to my bank account not transfer money from my other bank account to my main bank account. It's so frustrating that all this people asking me questions and no one tells me the solution.

No one can give you a solution unless you specifically explain all of your actions line by line, showing associated account changes.

You then need to look at the transaction details for each transaction.
