Accepting a Pending PayPal Payment: It’s happened to all of us: you’ve just finished a transaction on eBay or in your online shop, and the buyer requests a PayPal payment. You take the money out of your own pocket, complete the payment, and send the item off. A few days later, you get an email from PayPal telling you that the payment was invalid because it was not authorized by the buyer. Now what? Is your money lost? Not necessarily—here’s what to do if a PayPal payment is pending but unauthorized.
Let’s clear some basics first.
Setting up your PayPal account:
Setting up a PayPal account is quick and easy.
- Just go to www.paypal.com and click “Sign Up.” Enter your email address, create a password, and then click “Next.”
- You’ll be asked to provide some basic information about yourself, including your name, address, and phone number.
- Once you’ve entered your information, click “Agree and Create Account.”
- You’ll be taken to a page where you can choose whether to link your bank account or credit card to your PayPal account.
- If you choose to link your bank account, you’ll need to enter your routing number and account number.
- If you choose to link your credit card, you’ll need to enter your card number, expiration date, and security code.
- Once you’ve entered the necessary information, click “Link My Account.”
You’re now ready to start using PayPal!
Claiming/Accepting Pending PayPal Payments:
If you’re an active PayPal user, chances are you’ve had at least one payment “pending” in your account at some point. When a payment is pending, it means that the sender has initiated a transaction but the funds have not yet been transferred. This can happen for a number of reasons, including if the sender doesn’t have enough money in their account to cover the transaction or if they’re using an unverified PayPal account. In any case, pending payments can be a pain because you can’t access the funds until the payment clears.
Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to speed up the process.
- First, make sure that you have provided all of the necessary information to the sender. This includes your full name, email address, and physical address (if applicable). If you have all of this information entered correctly, that should help to clear up any confusion on the part of the sender and allow them to complete the transaction.
- Secondly, try contacting the sender directly and asking them to confirm or cancel the payment. Sometimes all it takes is a reminder from you in order for them to take action on their end.
- Finally, if all else fails, you can always reach out to PayPal’s customer support team for assistance. They may be able to help resolve any issues that are preventing the payment from going through. Claiming pending PayPal payments doesn’t have to be a hassle – with a little patience and perseverance, you should be able to access your funds in no time!
Reasons why you have not yet received your PayPal payment:
There are a few reasons why you might not have received your PayPal payment yet.
- First, make sure that the sender has initiated the payment and that it is showing up as “pending” in your account. If the payment is not pending, it may have been canceled or never initiated in the first place.
- Secondly, check to see if you have provided all of the necessary information to the sender. This includes your full name, email address, and physical address (if applicable). If you have all of this information entered correctly, that should help to clear up any confusion on the part of the sender and allow them to complete the transaction.
