Balance

[Paulyg1]

First, I like the email notification I get when I receive a payment or debit on my account.  The question I have is...is there a setting I can't find to show my current balance as of that transaction on the same email?  Or is that only done on the monthly statements?  I always have to go to my account to check the balance.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Paulyg1,

Welcome!

There is not a setting to have the account balance included in your notification emails. You can use PayPal Mobile to check your account balance.

To check your PayPal balance using your mobile phone, text "Bal" to 729725 (PAYPAL). Once you confirm the request, your balance will be delivered to your phone. If you have more than one currency balance in your PayPal account, each balance will be posted for your review.

Thank you very much Amanda. I didn't think I was crazy for not finding anything, but I also didn't know about the Paypal Mobile.

Thanks again,

Paul

I received a payment from a sale on Ebay.  The payment the buyer sent was correct but my balance in Paypal is wrong.  I received $11.35 but my balance says I only have $1.35.  I tried to send $10.00 this morning but couldn't because Paypal has a wrong balance for me.  Please help.  Thank you.

Login to your PayPal account, click on the "History" tab and then click on the "All activity (with balance)" option.  This will show your running PayPal account balance (in the right hand column) after each transaction and should make it easier for you to see how you arrived at the current PayPal account balance.
