How do I accept money sent to me?

[scooperman]

Usually when someone sends me money I get a link asking me to accept the money, and then giving me the option of sending it to my bank account. I have two recent transactions where I was sent money but didn't receive anything, and haven't found anything in my account, giving me the option to accept it and send it to my bank account - but both transactions show up in the list of my recent transactions. What do i need to do?

Hi @scooperman,

Welcome to the PayPal Community and thank you for your post!

I do understand your concern with this. Not all payments sent to you, would require you to accept them. For example, if you have confirmed your email address, and someone has sent you a payment in the currency of your PayPal account, it will be automatically received and placed on your PayPal balance. You would then have to manually withdraw the funds to your bank account. 

When a payment is sent to you, you would receive an email confirmation from PayPal. If you go to the Activity page in your PayPal account, you should see all the recent payments you received. For further details, please click here. 

I hope this helps!
