Payment is pending until January 2024

Question

I just recently sold an item it was an American purchaser, i am based in australia.  I received notification that it was sold and I had received payment but upon checking it said it was pending until January 2024. I've never seen this before so I am worried that if i send the item without having the funds that perhaps i won't get paid. is this possible.

Here's hoping it was sent with all the necessary - tracking - insurance - signature etc etc etc. Mind - signature doesn't mean much - anyone can sign.
