Paypal help please

I've only just started using Paypal and need a little help.

When someone pays me some money, I guess I get an email? if so, is there some sort of transaction id on that email, and will the person paying to me also get that same id number?

I'm looking for a way that both the person paying me and I, can determine the same payment...( so they can quote it to me such and such number, then I can trace it in my emails)

Many thanks.

Hi Steve,I have only used Paypal once and after I had filled out all the information required and entered the transaction I had an email come through{not sure whether it was the same day} with all the transaction details showing on it so myself and the other person receiving the money knew exactly what was what.

Hope this is of some help to you

 

Hi,
If you log onto Paypal and log into your account there is a transaction history, just go to the relevant transaction and you will have thei.d there, then just cross reference it with any other documents ie emails. It is usually the same i.d and you are always sent an email. Hope this helps. xxx
