eBay messages now appearing, NOW Paypal transactions no appearing

[ricarmic]

Yes me as well, no paypal payment emails from anything sold this morning, sigh.........

(the money is in the paypal account, so it is a PAYPAL problem, not an ebay problem this time around)

Are they doing alternating missing notifications? Let's get our act together and have both sites sending out the messages.

Just a heads up. I'm up to 2 emails not received but actually paid.

My sales emails from 10AM today just came through... so it is about 6 hours behind....

One of 2  just showed up. Almost 6 hours. Other backup way is the bell at the top. Sometimes it takes a few refreshes to show.  Anyone in doubt, confirm paypal account. Kinda annoying tho.

Same here, missing the PayPal emails today.

Mine are almost caught up now, looks like they're being sent out again now.... not immediate by any means though....

Almost brings back memories of days gone by when you either sent or received cheques (Check if you speak American) when completing transactions. The cheque is in the mailllllllll!!!  🙂  I'm sorry. Your payment is lost in cyberspace!!

Thanks for the heads up on this @lotzofuniquegoodies & @triber!

I'm not certain what would have caused PayPal's message delays, but if you haven't already you could report the latency to them. I prefer to contact PayPal via Twitter (I've found their social media team very responsive and helpful), but I'm sure you could phone them as well. 

Thanks!

As a side note I've checked ebay status page when there have been several reports and never seen it flagged as an issue.
