#### Introduction

When online marketplaces like Grailed facilitate transactions for buyers and sellers, you expect that your payments and receipts should be accounted for appropriately in your financial statements. However, sometimes, issues can arise, leading to missing transactions in your payment accounts. Recently, I encountered such an issue while using Grailed, and I wanted to share my experience and insights with you, hoping it might help others in a similar situation.

#### The Problem

Over the past few weeks, I had been very active on Grailed, making several purchases and selling a few shirts as well. According to the transactions history on Grailed, all my sales and purchases had been processed successfully. However, when I checked my PayPal transactions, I noticed discrepancies.

Out of six transactions (which I confirmed by checking my Grailed account), only one appeared in my PayPal account, and that was marked as “on hold.” Similarly, when I looked at my outgoing payments for purchases, all but one were missing from my PayPal transaction list.

#### What Could Be Happening?

Several possibilities could explain the missing transactions on PayPal:

1. **Account Hold or Review Period:** PayPal often places transactions on hold or conducts reviews to ensure the safety and security of its users. Transactions that are marked “on hold” can take several days to appear as completed transactions. However, in my case, I had several transactions that did not show up at all, not even on hold.

2. **Timing of Transactions:** Sometimes, there could be a slight delay in the synchronization of the transactions between the marketplace and the payment gateway. It usually resolves itself within 24-48 hours. But in my case, it had been more than a week, and the transactions were still missing.

3. **Payment Processing Errors:** Once a purchase or sale is finalized on Grailed, it triggers a payment request to PayPal. At times, this process might encounter issues, leading to missing transactions. Although this is less common, it’s worth considering, especially in cases where multiple transactions are not reflected.

4. **Account Issues:** If there are any issues with your PayPal account, such as inconsistencies or problems with the account settings, it might affect how transactions are processed and displayed. As such, it’s essential to ensure that there are no problems with your PayPal account.

– **Keep Track of Discrepancies:** Keep a record of all the transactions that are missing and ensure that you follow up with customer support until the issue is resolved.
