Payment being processed through Paypal

Glasspanda_2

I bought an item last friday and I paid for it through Paypal using my credit card. The thing is, that in my Paypal account says that the payment it's Complete and the recipient of this payment is Verified, but in My Ebay there's an icon of a hourglass that says that "Payment is being processed through Paypal"

If the payment it's complete, why does it keep saying that? It's something wrong?

If you don't have a paypal account, it is using slow motion to send the payment which takes as long as an e-cheque. The seller will be told not to send the item until the payment has cleared. I can't remember how long it takes, I think it's about 5 days.

You should get an email from paypal.

Just got one myself:


Xxxxx sent you an eCheque payment for 10.98 GBP
Transaction ID: 00000000000
Dear Xxxxxxxxxx

You've received an eCheque payment. An eCheque may take 5-7 working days to clear, so you'll see the transaction status set as 'Pending'.

Here's what happens when you get paid by eCheque:

The buyer's bank gets a request to pay PayPal.
PayPal receives the funds from the buyer's bank.
PayPal will transfer the money to your PayPal account after the funds have cleared and will not be at risk of being reversed by the buyer's bank.
Your buyer has sent the payment, but we suggest you wait until the eCheque has cleared before posting the item. We'll email you as soon as the money is in your PayPal account.
We estimate the eCheque will clear between 25/03/2013-27/03/2013.

This was for items bought today - the 18th.

I know I should wait but it was a relatively low value, buyer has decent feedback and I was going to the post office anyway .... Fingers crossed LOL
