As far as I know, in order to get at this money your friend would have to have
a Paypal account.

It was a bit stupid of the person who sent it, to do so without checking first
that she had a Paypal account. I think it's just stuck in Paypal, and the
person who sent it has just given it to them and not to your friend as
intended.

  I am asking, on behalf of a friend, for some information regarding an
incoming
  payment by Paypal (I have only ever paid using Paypal).

  She received a notification from Paypal that she had a credit of $23.72 and
  thought that it was a scam.  However, after some investigation she found
out
  that someone in England had sent her some money as a "thank you".  She had
  done some genealogy research in the Canadian records office for him.  When
she
  e-mailed him, she asked him to take it back as she didn't want payment, but
he
  said it was so she could buy herself a bottle of wine.  She has no idea how
  much he sent but at current rates of exchange it would be about £11.50 (but
  perhaps he sent £15 and the difference was taken for service charges).

  Anyway, she hopes that he will take the money back, but if he doesn't what
  does she need to do to get the money?  She doesn't have a Paypal account
and
  doesn't want to give them lots of personal information.

  Any help would be appreciated.  TIA
