Payment Pending? Payment Complete?

Have had several transactions go through this week paid with Paypal

Two are showing in ebay as paypal payment pending - when i go into paypal they say complete - i phoned paypal and they say the money is there in my account so whats up with ebay? :confused:

I dont think they are e-cheques because i have an echeque waiting to clear and that says echeque uncleared

yet several other payments have come through fine so im not sure whether to post the items that are showing as pending on ebay and complete on paypal :confused:
:rolleyes: Democracy is a process by which the people are free to choose the man who will get the blame.:j

    if the payments in paypal are showing as included in your "available balance" the transaction is completed.

    If it says complete in Paypal, then it's ok to send. Ebay are a bit slow LOL.

    yeah they are - i guess its just making me feel uneasy that they are not showing as complete in ebay, i thought maybe the system needed to catchup on its self but these payments came through on 27 March

    I had one transaction recently that after a few days still showed on ebay as pending, but was completed on Paypal straight away. I just cleared it on ebay as payment made, not had any problems.
    Think there must be a glitch with ebay linking to Paypal occasionally.
