eCheque Question

in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
I always though eCheques cleared/bounced in around 7 days but I have an eCheque payment still showing as Pending from the 7th June.

Is this normal? Never had to wait this long for notification of the payment before.

    Too see the expected clearing date....
    Go to Account Overview > History > Find the eCheque payment then check the Details next to the transaction.

    Cheers.

    The bloody thing was cancelled! I've had no notification of that at all.

    Email the buyer and explain, they may not even realise. If you don't get a reply within 24 hours open a NPB.

    Sent a message as soon as I saw it was cancelled. The buyer has one feedback, from June 2nd this year but has been registered since 2009! Busy ebayer indeed

    Bit surprised I didn't get an email notification from PayPal for this.

    It could be connected to the NatWest fiasco.

    Would Australians be effected by that?

    I wouldn't have thought so.

    They have asked for the transaction to be cancelled.

    However, I can't do it. There is no option to do this and the item is still marked as "Payment Pending in PayPal".

    Is this an issue I need to raise with ebay or PayPal?

    You'll all be pleased to know its sorted...... After 5 attempts the transaction was found in the resolution centre and a request has been sent.
