So you're experiencing a little hiccup with your Remix contract.
First off, it's important to remember that the ethers you're sending aren't showing up in the contract because the contract likely doesn't have a function to receive them.
In Solidity, you need something called a payable function to receive ether. Something like this should do the trick:
receive() external payable {} Pop that into your contract and you should start seeing your ethers landing safely. Always remember, code is law in Ethereum's world, so make it work for you!
Good luck on your journey.
A few things: You may be able to see the contract balance by making another contract and then getting the address(insertAddressToCheckBalanceHere).balance of the contract in a getter function, but also setup a receive() function (like Ari recommends) and fallback() function to receive Ether on the original contract and track it. Both need to be external and payable to receive the Ether.
Is this on mainnet or a testnet?
