What does item pending payment through paypal mean?

[rosealbie]

I've paid for an item I bought two days ago but the listing says item pending payment. Is this to do with the seller's Paypal account?

[sixlostmonkeys]

did your fund come from money in your paypal account or from a card ie an echeque?

[rosealbie]

I didn't have funds in my account so comes from my credit card via Paypal.

will take 7 - 10 days prob to clear then

I've had this before I think it means that your buyer needs to action something. Look on your Paypal account and see what it says about the transaction

Thanks.

Sixlostmonkeys, I haven't had funds actually in my account for ages but have been spending off the credit card no problems with immediate payment.

wheresthehamster, I did wonder about this, the seller must be new and has only got 1 feedback so maybe the account hasn't been actioned. Will have a look now, didn't realise I could check.

Had a look and it says payment is unclaimed.

Email him and remind him you have paid but it is unclaimed and when can you expect your item
