Payment pending?

Hi all,

Just a quick question, I have just sold some items on eBay and payments have been made yet nothing is showing on my paypal account and on eBay all of the payments are showing as pending.

Any ideas why this could be?

Thank you!

    I suspect you may have typed your PayPal ID incorrectly. Yu can check that by going through the listings as though you were going to realist and see what you typed in the payment section.

    If you can register the email then that is the simplest way. If not, you will need to get your buyer to cancel the payment, wait for their funds to clear back to them, and then send them a direct PayPal invoice from your PayPal account.

  • Brill thank you. I've managed to sort it now. Thanks again!
  • Back again! Ok so most buyers have been really understanding and have paid my invoice. I have one buyer though who is just not responding to my messages at all. They have paid and it shows as payment pending but I just can't get a response out of them. What will happen if they don't get back to me?

    This is one mistake I won't be making again, what a nightmare to sort out! Silly silly mistake that's taken me ages to sort out!!
