Paypal payment not claimed

I won an item late Friday night and paid by Paypal early Saturday morning but the payment is still showing as unclaimed.

I emailed her yesterday at lunchtime to tell her I had paid and to claim the payment but as yet I have heard nothing should I do anything?

I got the item for a fair price to us both.

She has sold about 12 items and a few things finished the same time as the won I won and she has listed a few more things today.

    She probably had the wrong email connected to her ebay account (normally its because they have mispelt it) which is why the money is unclaimed. You have already contacted her once so all you can do is wait. If you dont hear anything after 7 days open an Item not received dispute.
  • I had this happen last week, won an item, paid straight away, paypal payment went unclaimed for a few days over the weekend, on the Monday evening it was claimed and the item turned up a few days later, have bought nearly 600 items on ebay and its the first time it had happened to me, worked out okay in the end though, just wait a few more days to see if its claimed.

  • I have just had an email from the seller saying she has posted my winning item but it is still showing on my Paypal account as unclaimed, should I do anything?
