yes..on an alternate account of mine, i opened up for commissions. my policy was to be payed in advance and through paypal ONLY.

well, one guy SAYS he sent his payment to me..i have checked my paypal, and my balance on there is still the same.. i even checked my e-mail and what-not, thinking that maybe i had to do some confirmation thing.
nothing. i even looked around on my paypal account, checked previous notes i exchanged with him, thinking that maybe i spelled my e-mail address wrong. but as far as i can see i did everything right.. please keep this in mind..i am new to paypal, but i HAVE excepted payments on it, via ebay, before with general ease....i just wonder if perhaps i may have done something wrong, or am required to do something.. but i know this much, the money IS NOT in my paypal account, but he states that he has sent the payment. is he lying? or did i screw something up?

if anyone has any answers i would greatly appreciate it.
