hiya

i have purchased a few things from ebay recently. I always pay via paypal, which in turn takes the funds from my back account.

However, on checking my bank account this month - none of my paypal transactions are showing up. Yet on my paypal account they are 'completed'.

Does paypal take the payments from my bank account on a certain date each month?

TIA

    Have you also been selling stuff and been paid by Paypal?

    If so, Paypal use money for goods that you have purchased by using up your funds first, before going to get money from your bank.
