I never checked my Paypal account unless I recieved mail that says "You have recieved funds". But lately last month I requested $2 from a PTC. But I never recieved any mail from them about the payment. So I thought I would never recieve it. But when I checked my Paypal account for someother reason, I found that I had recieved the $2 on the next day of my request itself. I have somehow deleted the mail without reading it..SO I check my Paypal account very often, atleast once in a week, even though I don't get any payment. How about you? Do you check your Paypal account even if you don't get any funds? How often do you check your Paypal account?

The only times I go to paypal is when there is an email stating that I was paid. Otherwise I really don't check it. I do have quite a bit in there and have been using it for online shopping as well so I guess I check the funds maybe once every two weeks if that.

i had the same problem you're having with PayPal, but with AlertPay.
the last 2 times i've got paid they didn't send me an email notification, the only reason i found out, is i was on one of my sites and i noticed my money was gone.
so i checked my AlertPay account and sure enough, there was my money,
i contacted them but they claim they sent me e-mails, so i'll see what happens next time i receive a payment.
anyways, now i check my AlertPay and PayPal account every couple of days.

i check my paypal at least once a week because I do not check the email address that I have my paypal with, very often.. Sometimes paypal or the person could forget to send the email or a glitch or even certain settings are not on for either end... Its a great thing that you got paid...Congrats.. Happy Earning.

I use to check my paypal account almost every day when i first got it because i did not trust it...but, now i hardly ever check my paypal account'cause my funds are still intact and i finally trust paypal security system plus i have had very little trouble in accessing my account so its a matter of trust and honesty...

I check mine every month or so, so far there is no money going in but i hope that will change soon. I have used paypal to pay someone, it's good for that because you don't have to give your credit card info out to strangers. So for the little business I have done through them I am very happy.

I used to check my paypal all the time but then got out of the habit. I like to save the money that I earn through paypal so if I don't look at it I will let it add up. If I know how much is in there I begin to think about what I can spend it on! So, I only check my account every few months now.

i check it about 3-4 times a week, since i do get regularly paid from a few sites - it seems that it takes a day or two from payment sent to payment processed though. Hopefully if things keep going well they'll make me upgrade my account :)

I check it fairly regularly, especially if I am waiting for a payment that I have requested. It is very easy to delete an email and not realise you have done it. Although the email should still be in your deleted folder.
Does paypal always send you an email when you get a payment?

Yeah, the same, I only visits my paypal account when I got a notification saying that I received funds or if I expecting to received one without checking my email. However, I also check it very often like if I know the funds that I requested should be there, but haven't yet received it.

Hi there!
I don't check my Paypal unless I did some online transactions which I do every month so I am always updated in my accounts with Paypal. I also never fail to receive any emails from them and I don't delete emails unless I'm sure that I have read it. I always trusted Paypal so I'm confident on the site even though I don't check on it very often.
Ciao!

HI smilyn: I'm afraid I check mine constantly, I keep hoping that by some small
miracle maybe just maybe I'll have a sale off of my website where I sell many
many numerous items, I also sell on ebay...pffftt! though I've not made a sale
there since the last of July...I also have my own personal items from home
on numerous other auction sites, but still no sales; (sigh)!! So yeah I check
into my empty paypal account several times a day; If I were a smart person
I've been wanting to write like a poem or something about paypal, My empty paypal,
like an Ode to paypal...LOL! I really really stink at trying to write poetry;I have written a few dirty ditty's in my time.. LOL!
but that's not for here; (G)!
