Last night a buyer on eBay made a purchase, and paid me $12.95 through paypal at 23:32:18 CDT. That payment shows as complete. However the $12.27 (after fees) never credited to the account. My balance remained at $0. No email was ever sent from paypal saying that a payment had arrived. However, eBay showed the item was paid, and that I needed to ship. So now the item has been sent. Viewing the balance activity page, it does in fact show that my account balance was $12.27, but this was never available at any point. The next transaction was a puchased for "pay after delivery" that is 100% funded by my checking account. It then shows $0. There are no open cases, or issues that have a hold on those funds. In the line by line history it shows it is there, then on the next line it just isn't. No explaination. I was there when the payment came, and the balance was ALWAYS $0.00. That coupled with the lack of an email confirmation, seem to point at an error with paypal. Now, $12.27 isn't a huge amount, but the disturbing thought is how often does this happen? I don't examine line by line. When I get a few payments, what is in the account is transfered out. I trust that paypal is going to give me all my funds.
