Hi William,
I am new to AdMob and this is the first time they are paying me.
I got a mail from AdMob saying that they are processing my payment of some dollars on 5th Feb 2014. The same day when I logged in to AdMob. The Page where all the earnings are displayed it shows the message "Payment for $(some amount) by Paypal on 2014-02-05, complete".
The gave me a payment Id on the same day. Now my doubt is did they already sent it to PayPal? I called PayPal support team, they said there is no payment that I have received for my account. They again asked me if I got any Payment Id. The payment Id which is present in my AdMob is 6 digits number (consists of only numbers). But the support team of PayPal informed me that for transactions of PayPal the payment Id should be alphanumeric. I am really confused if AdMob has already sent the payment to PayPal or are they still processing it?
