Do Paypal transactions show up on your bank statements? I placed an online order using my PayPal account a month ago, so I've been waiting for it to show on my bank statement. I started going through my statements looking for this payment, but then I couldn't find any sign of any PayPal transactions. What's up with that? I actually remember seeing my subscription to Geekzone showing at some point, now that's not even there.

I'm with ASB, the payments have been made using a Visa Debit card linked to my Tertiary Cheque account. I have another card linked to my Paypal account, but the transactions don't show on that one either.

If you have money on your PayPal account, that will be used before any card is used for payments. So if you have had something credited back to your account that would be used before anything else.

I have a credit card on my PayPal account, so that gets charges from PayPal - they don't show up in my regular bank account.

For some orders I would've had some credit, but not enough for the full amount. No credits showing in my PayPal activity either.

That makes sense for your situation. My card is a Visa Debit, so every online transaction comes out of my current balance and shows on my bank statement. For some reason the Paypal transactions aren't showing though.
