PayPal "Unclaimed" "Pending"

First of all, double check to make sure you have sent it to the right place. If it is correct, wait at least a couple of days more. You can always also, using the auction#, go to "find Member" and get their phone number and call them.

to our forum!

Have they sent you an invoice? If so, make sure they didn't include instructions to send to a different email address. By email not working, do you mean mail was returned as undeliverable, or they just didn't answer?

If it were me, I would cancel payment. (I think you have a max of 30 days to do that with PayPal) Use 'ask seller a question' stating you did so, because you were unable to make contact. If they ever get back in touch with you, you can easily make payment again. Others will probably advise you to give it a bit more time.

You may find there was some sort of family emergency, computer disaster, accident, ect...

Good Luck... and to the forum.

Yes, I think Puppy is right. Canceling won't hurt anything if you followup with a contact to ask seller a question.

Well, nevermind! I just wanted to see what it was!!

to the forum.
That happened to me recently. The money went unclaimed for 15 days. I called PayPal, They recommended I cancel the payment which I did. If nothing else PayPal will be able to verify the validity of the account. PayPals # is: 402-935-2057.

Jake, and what did happen?Did the seller contact you?

Yes. Seller said the account was verified and should work. He was quite insistant. Paypal said the email address was not valid but said he had another account that would work. PayPal refused to give me the verified account information but the seller finally responded after many emails giving me two different email addresses I could try. The second one worked.

I am glad you finally got it resolved, Jake. I recently refunded 4 dollars to a lady near Spain because the shipping wasn't as much as I had thought. It sat there unclaimed for over a month and finally cleared the other day! I have no idea why!

I got carried away with that long sentence. I should have put a comma or two in. I have a friend that writes to me and she never uses periods, commas or capital letters. It's a challenge sometimes.

Shipping refund? You mean people actually do that. I need to buy from you, sounds like you ae really fair. I bought a book for $4.00. It cost 1.92 to mail. Seller charged 8.50. I did email re shipping cost but he would not budge. I wanted the book so I paid. Now I would wait until another came along, which it did at half the price. Patience is not my best virtue.

Jake, I can imagine that it would be a challenge to read something with no punctuation!!

I try to figure my shipping as close as possible, but if I am off a lot, yes I do try to treat the customer as I would like to be treated. Sometimes when I ship overseas this happens.

Hello Again,

Just wanted to THANK EVERYONE for being so kind throughout this issue! I will without a doubt take all of your advice! I am sure in the end, that all of this will work out! The seller's e-mail address was returned. I am just going to wait, for awhile and see what happens. Hopefully everything is ok, I never thought about a family emergency, you never know.

Truly Thanks Again,

Hope it all works out.
