As a buyer, how do I check the status of my payment?
You can find Seller Profile payments listed under your PayPal activities among your other transactions. You can also communicate with sellers via chat once you send a payment.

How can I pay a seller using a QR code?
In the app, navigate to your QR code and tap on "show to pay." The seller will be able to scan your QR code to accept payment.

How do I request a refund?

To request a refund for a completed payment, you’ll need to contact the seller.

Ask the seller to go to the Transaction Details page for your transaction and click Issue a refund.

If you don't receive a refund, you can open a dispute in your Resolution Center. You have 180 days from the payment date to open a dispute.

If you sent a payment, but it's still pending, you can cancel it on your Activity, if you see the "Cancel" button next to it.

If the seller didn’t claim the payment within 30 days, we’ll automatically refund it to you.
