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

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.

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.

I think you are dead right Lyndal1838, and you usually are.

Lyndal should know she is half Canadian
