Trying to pay - won't go through?!?

I purchased a BIN item yesterday, paid through paypal but the little egg timer has come up at my end 'pending payment'. Having looked on paypal the status is 'unclaimed'. Looked at the help details on this and the only point I can see this could be is that the seller needs to update their account. I emailed them about this and they said they have updated it. I cancelled the payment and started again but the same thing is happening. I have never has this happen before so am unsure why. Any help would be much appreciated. Thx

    Checked the email address is correct?
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j
  • They haven't sold anything for nearly 2 years but have been buying regularly. If they upgraded their account (they said they did this today) does this take a while to register? A bit annoying becuse I bought the item BIN to get it quickly.
