    I'm not exactly sure what's happened here, but I'll try to answer as best I can!

    First - yes, maple syrup media ltd is Quidco, so at least you know where the payment has come from!

    Any money paid into Paypal just sits in your Paypal account until you either withdraw it or spend it - it doesn't automatically get paid into your bank account, you have to withdraw it yourself.

    If you haven't withdrawn or spent it, then the balance in your Paypal account should show the £29.

    If you have withdrawn it, Paypal says it can take 5-7 working days to reach your bank account, so even if you withdrew it on 7th (Friday) then it won't appear in your bank account until at least the end of this week.

    Hope that helps a bit!

    Log into your account and click on Contact Us at the very bottom of the page, then click on Contact Customer Services and it will guide you through sending them an email query.

    Or you can try giving them a ring on 08707 307 191, which Paypal says is a freephone number - they're open till 10pm every night.

    Hope you manage to get it sorted, all sounds a bit strange to me!
