Should it take this long to process a payment?

I'm new to buying on e-bay. This weekend I've been on a bit of a spending spree, all the other items that I've paid for have had the payment collected through paypal (within minutes) by the seller but there is one transaction still showing as processing because the seller has not collected the money.
The item was won Saturday and paid for straight away. Is it common for seller's not to claim money for a few days? What happens if it isn't claimed for a while? Don't want my money tied up for weeks on end.

It almost certainly means that seller put the wrong email in the listing, otherwise it would be received automatically. Just email seller and let them know there is an issue their end.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

You should be able to recall your payment , and in fact you will almost certainly have to do that anyway unless seller can add the wrong address to her paypal account.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Got a reply, apparently her paypal is saying that I haven't paid yet my paypal is showing that I have paid but it hasn't been claimed. Can see a call to paypal CS coming on.Save £200 a month : [STRIKE]Oct[/STRIKE] Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr0

No need for you to call, she is wrong. Tell her to pretend to relist the item but not to complete the relist instead if she edits the relist she can see what PayPal id she usedI’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
