Check that they haven't gone to your junk folder.

It is a known reoccuring problem.

Yes... Same here.
Delayed up to 24 hours.
The payment is showing in the account when you log in and check, just no email notification.

Seems to be very hit and miss on and off for the past several months. Some come through right away, others are a couple of hours or a couple of days later

All of yesterday's notifications only just came through this morning (except for a late sale/payment last night). Still waiting on that one.

Have to say I have no idea, I check the payment status in ebay and log into my Paypal account a couple of times a day but never bother looking for any emails fom Paypal.

Yup. Got a few sales yesterday (across 3 accounts) and none of the emails came through. Got a couple today from yesterday. Got one from today but still a few missing from yesterday.

One thing I noticed - 2 of the emails I got were in a different format / layout to normal. Maybe the 'experts' are playing with a new format and broke something in the process

I normally get 2 layouts (I presume one for people paying from accounts and others from people using a guset payment or something) one has 'You have recieved a payment' in the subject line and the other has the item number in the subject line.

Mine have been all over the place for the last 5 weeks (at least). Just thought they were getting back on track and now I'm getting nothing at all. So over it!!

I received an email notification yesterday for an order I had posted 3 days earlier ! As mentioned on another thread the trouble I'm finding is that with the 'Waiting Postage' list also being hit and miss, I waste time double checking everything . . . . ho hum . . . . . sigh . . . . . I suppose with so few sales lately, I shouldn't complain, at least it doesn't take that long (gotta try and see the bright side !) I'd hate to be a high volume seller - can just imagine the headaches it must be causing them

There seems to be an approximately 2 hours lag but they eventually come through. Strangely though the eBay payment confirmation notification on the app shows up right away.

Thanks for the replies everyone. They started coming through yesterday (Sun) and are still quite delayed. I'd say the PayPal server is playing catch up after an outgoing email server outage or other problem.
