Unable to do purchase!

michellebartley — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 04:45:48 GMT

When I pay for items, it is processed via my Visa card (you can also have it drawn from your bank account)so Saturday I lost the card and had it cancelled.Had one an item won through bidding so couldn't pay cause of cancellation of card. Have contacted Paypal and got them to add my bank account so as I can do the purchase.Will have to wait two days before this is active to use. What a drag.

You could always just buy Whiska's and Pal for your pets-I'm sure they'd live 🙂

Did you win the Diesel fanny pack?

Yes I did win the fanny pack, thanks for asking. That's when I couldn't pay for it due to lost card I have emailed the seller to explain but I don't think they will mind hopefully.
I used to have my account attached to my bank account ages ago. You can lose a card but not your account.

It is stating "Payment is pending" does anyone know exactly why this is so? And why this has happened. Can't quite put my finger on it.

If you paid using your bank account without a card on file it wlll show pending as it is an echeque which can take 5 days or more to clear

Okay thankyou for that.

The payment now has been drawn on my bank account, but I am still waiting for it to be marked as paid on my Ebay account, which I guess could take another day to show!

As I said it can take more than 5 days for an echequer to clear, although it has come out of your account it now goes to yur bank's clearing house then it goes to the recipient's (Paypal's) holdng account, it is then cleared into Paypal's bank where it is finally cleared into the seller's account.

Did you pay with your bank account through PayPal or did you transfer the payment with your bank account?

As these are 2 different ways of making payment.

If through PayPal then this is an echeque which takes upto 5 days+

If bank transfer/deposit then this takes upto 2 days

And once you make a payment via bank transfer/deposit this will show immediately in your account as paid then you need to mark it down in ebay as paid and once the recipient receives it they then mark it as payment received.

Crow, Michelle has paid through paypal, not bank deposit. The payment was to a seller in Canada.

I paid via my bank account through Paypal (echeque). Amount has been debited today.
Payment pending is still showing on my Ebay account though.

No dramas I merely stated the difference between the 2 payment methods lol

Re: Unable to do purchase!

collect247 — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:54:17 GMT

Then expect 3-7 days for it to clear

God I hope so. I have had my eye on one of these waist bags for yonks & yonks then finally I made a bid on one and got it it a really great price. I am waiting now with baited breath.

lyndal1838 — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:54:51 GMT

I would not advise holding your breath waiting for the bag from Canada....you will turn blue before it arrives Michelle.

Went to Paypal site and looked up "Payment pending" and it said that this is done if possiblility of a fraudulent action on part of buyer. So why this has happened I'm not sure. Wonder if anyone else has struck this before.
