If you entered an incorrect PayPal email address when requesting a withdrawal, the outcome depends on whether the payment was claimed.
If the payment goes unclaimed:
You can recover your funds. Since PayPal manages these transactions, payments cannot be immediately canceled. However, if the payment remains unclaimed for 30 days, PayPal will automatically return the funds to CashCow. Once the funds are returned, your CashCow balance will be refunded accordingly.
If the payment is claimed:
Unfortunately, if the owner of the incorrect email address claims the funds, CashCow is unable to reverse or recover the payment. For this reason, it is important to verify that your PayPal email address is correct before confirming your withdrawal.
If the incorrect email belongs to you:
If you entered an email address that you own, but it is not yet linked to your PayPal account, you can add it to your PayPal account to access your funds without waiting for a refund.
To add an email address to your PayPal account:
-
Log in to your PayPal account.
-
Go to Settings.
-
Under the Email section, click the “+” icon.
-
Enter the email address and click “Add Email.”
-
Check your inbox for a confirmation email from PayPal.
-
Click the verification link to confirm.
Once the email address is verified, the payment will automatically appear in your PayPal balance.
