    Or it could be the seller doesn't have a premier account which accepts credit cards- and that is how this payment was funded. The seller might have to upgrade their account to accept to payment :confused:

    Your last post just confirmed the general feeling on the thread, so the advice already given still stands.

    An unclaimed payment will bounce back on day 30.

    Just wondering if anyone has ever managed to contact paypal and speak to a real person. I have made a payment by paypal which is uncleared even though I have sufficient actually in my paypal account, I've just been onto my bank account and the amount has been taken from there as well. I would like to sort this out as I am eager to receive the item I bought.
    Any assistance gratefully received
    Thanks
  • Are you sure the balance in your paypal account isn't slightly under the payment value? If it's definitely enough to cover it, then you've done something a lot of us would find impossible!

    It's possible to speak to a person when you ring paypal, you just need to pick the right options (don't ask me which :rolleyes:)
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    I've checked and when I made the payment my balance was just under, I've since received some funds which have taken me way over but I suppose that explains it that the process for taking it from my current account had already taken place. So now my paypal balance is about £100 over the amount I want to pay, and I have had deducted from my bank account the original amount. Isnt paypal so frustrating, this is the first time I have ever had any delays......thats what I like about it so much.
