Payment pending?

[daisychain345]

I recently sold an item and the buyer says he has paid through PayPal. There is a payment pending icon/hourglass next to the item and it says payment was initiated a few days ago through PayPal. But there is nothing showing in my PayPal account, nothing at all from this buyer. I have checked my ebay account and my PayPal details are correct. There was an email sent to my linked email account saying the buyer has paid and I need to click on the link to claim the funds. I have used PayPal many times to buy and sell and have never had to claim funds before. I did click the link and it took me to PayPal login page, I logged in but still no sign of this payment. In case I have been scammed I went to PayPal and changed my login detail.
Does anyone know what is going on?

If it's an echeque you will get an email from PP saying just that.

There will also be a transaction record in your PP acount saying it is an echeque payment pending until whatever date.

I am sure it has been sorted out in the 3 YEARS since the last post on this thread.

I actually bought and paid for an item by PayPal on the 1st Nov.  it has been taken from my account.  On eBay it has an hourglass and says payment pending ???

Sounds like an echeque.

Which doesn't make this thread any NEWER, nor is your question  selling related
