Unclaimed payment in Paypal?

Hi

Tonight I found shoes for 1/6 of the price right now. So I bought two pairs from one seller. The payment comes up as 'being processed by paypal and you will recieve an e-mail receipt shortly'. So I checked what unclaimed meant and it has a variation of reasons.

I then called my sister and she wanted the same. Found another seller in case the first one wasn't going to work out and the payment has done exactly the same.

I've never had any problem purchasing items before and payments have always gone straight through.

Could it be something I've done wrong (I don't sell on e-bay only buy) or is this at the sellers end and something that can be rectified?

Thanks

    It is the seller who is at fault. They have probably put the wrong email address in for the paypal payment in their listing. Contact the seller and tell them what Paypal is saying. Chances are that they put a typo in when they were typing it in.

    I would have said it could be that but it's three sellers all selling the same item that has this problem!

    It's probably the same seller using different accounts.
