Paypal Top-up Missing: A Frustrating Saga of Money Lost in Limbo
Over five business days ago, I added funds to my PayPal account from my bank, Hypo-Vereinsbank. My bank confirmed the transfer, correctly deducting the €1,800 from my account. But here’s the catch: The money remains elusive on PayPal.
I’ve thoroughly examined the situation. After contacting PayPal support, I ensured all my personal details, including the provided IBAN, were accurate. Yet, the money refuses to surface on my PayPal account.
Adding to the frustration, I’ve encountered several other issues lately. PayPal has started insisting that I link a bank account even though I’ve already done so. It will not accept any redundancy. Additionally, the PayPal app no longer functions for identity confirmation.
When attempting to use the app, even choosing it as the verification method, I never receive a confirming message. I even tried requesting a phone code instead of the app, but that didn’t work.
The inconsistency leaves me baffled. It makes me wonder if these issues are ultimately connected to the missing €1,800.
To resolve the missing funds, I reached out both to PayPal and Hypo-Vereinsbank. Unfortunately, both parties passed the buck to each other.
PayPal stated, “Because PayPal is an independent online payment service, your concern is definitely a matter for PayPal,” effectively dismissing my bank’s involvement. Hypo-Vereinsbank, in turn, insisted that I contact PayPal.
Never received a confirmation email for this top-up. The lack of transparency is even more unsettling because this isn’t the first time I’ve encountered a similar problem. A few months ago, a €69 top-up also disappeared, never reaching PayPal but remaining safely in my bank account. This time, the stakes are considerably higher.
PayPal assures me they can launch an investigation after 30 days, but that feels like an eternity to be stuck in limbo, unsure about a large sum of money.
Is there any potential solution? Has anyone else faced a similar situation where PayPal failed to credit a top-up despite confirmation from their bank? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I need to rectify this issue quickly so I can resume straightforward transactions with PayPal again.
Is there a solution other than enduring a month-long wait? I’m anxious to have this resolved and access my money.
What are the key technological innovations that PayPal is currently focusing on to improve the security and efficiency of its platform?
