I lost my last payment, my own fault I guess.

I have already contacted the team to try to find out if there's anything I can do to get it back, just waiting to hear from them.
The other day, when we all got paid from here, I checked my new paypal account to find that the money was not there. It turns out, I never changed the paypal email address to my new one, so I lost the payment.
This is one site that I thought I'd done this, but apparently, it's the only one I never changed, and that frustrates me.
I'm just glad that I didn't lose more than I did, and if I can't get it back, I'm not going to worry too much about it, I'm just going to work harder at making it back plus more.
Just remember to make sure that you have the right payment email on any site before it's payout time, that way you don't run into the same problem I did. I have fixed that for next time, but it may be too late for my last payment.

Sorry to hear that ... I know how sad if you lost your hard earn money. Please keep contacting Paypal, I'm sure they give you an Instructions to resolve that issue. Done this before and it turns out fine on my end.
Good Luck & God Bless

It's my habit to check my payment email before I will submit my request. Imagine, I think I change more than 5 times my payments email here in myLot. It's because I occasionally change my Paypal email.
When I change my Paypal email, I always change also all payment settings in all my active online programs. By doing it, I avoided myself to face problem like yours. Next time please be careful buddy.

So, you can't access your paypal account from your old email address anymore? How so? I would certainly take it as a good advice. Because I am not a good memory person to keep track on everything, sometimes, I mess up thing first, and then take all the steps to correct things up. It is not easy, but it might some experience that teach us something, and remind us not to commit the same mistake all over again.

Things like this can be frustrating, but you have the right attitude about it
. Hopefully this can be fixed because if the money did not go to you yet, then you still should be able to get it, even if there was a mistake made.
Good luck

Hi kris, just wondering, did the payment go to another account you held ? if so it wold easy to sort it out since I have found paypal extremely helpful when you get in touch with them and explain the matter.The money has to be there somewhere, and it may not be difficult to trace it right ? All the best and I sincerely hope you get back your hard earned money, also thank you so much for starting this discussion so that others too dont get into a similar situation ...
Challenges happen in our life, in times we really don't expect. Be strong and continue to move on.. learn on mistakes..that's life

Yeah a little bit frustrating situation after your hardwork and waiting. But if not happened to you never realized that next time you'll be careful and see to it your in the right track. Sometimes it should be happened to all of us in order to learn a lesson so that next would be better and right.

Wait, you said that you haven't changed the paypal address to your new one, then what happened with the old one? If it was limited/closed so that you can't receive payment anymore, the payment would be bounced back to the sender. Perhaps you can contact Admin to reinstate your balance..

Sorry that you didn't receive your payment maybe you can contact someone about the situation. At least you have informed others about this so we all can be prepared now.

I am sorry to hear that you lost the payment due to a mistake that you were not aware of. I hope you can make the loss up by working hard. It is really important to check sometimes if your details are entered correctly. I almost lost a payment from another site because of the same problem that you have made. However, I acted quickly on time.

I am with you my friend it is really hard to lose any hard earned cash with just a simple mistake. It is like having to lose your wallet outside and not being able to retrieve it. Anyway, we are not at all perfect human beings and we truly commit mistakes once in a while, but these are just steps for our very own personal improvement and learning from these simple mistakes help us grow more smarter by the day. So don't worry my friend what is lost will come back in bunches, and that is just money my friend, not unlike if you lost a friend or love one then that's even harder to come by. So good luck to your next payout, happy mylotting.

Hi kris! I hope your were able to get it back. I am not very familiar with changing about some important data because I never tried it although sometimes I am also thinking about it.
I don't know too that we can change the email address with paypal.

I just emailed them as well, as I didnt receive payout. My Paypal account was hacked, I reported it, then they limited my account until I called them and verified it. Well, what I thought happened when my account was limited that the money would appear when the account was restored. But I've waited a few days and nothing so I am emailing them to ask them.
