    Sometimes eBay are a little behind. Log into your PayPal account and check whether the transaction says completed.

    Payment pending from paypal normally means its an echeque, which takes up to 10 days to clear. It should be on your ebay section under awaiting payment.

    Echecks! block this from the auction on ebay or paypal?. So do they need to re-pay me in the normal paypal way?. :o:o

    an e-cheque is a paypal payment thats coming from the buyers bank account..takes around 10 days to complete..

    sometimes it happens when the buyers credit/debit card on file has expired and they havent realised

    Never, ever ship until the eCheque clears. PayPal eCheque have a terribly high non-completion rate, in that the funds aren't cleared or they bounce back into the buyer's bank account before they get to the intended recipient.

    By contrast UK bank transfers normally only take one to three business days and are usually FREE...

    i would just email the buyer and say for some reason the payment has come through as an e-cheque and I therefore won't be able to send the item until it has cleared.
