hello everyone,

 

looking for some help here. recently i made a purchase from a private party. for $250.00 i send the money to the user using paypal credit.

its showing up on said persons account as pending...  so now this said person will not ship out my item until this money clears. whats the deal? ive never had a problem like this before. it all went through on my end where i cant even cancel payment or anything,.

The funds are probably under review becasue of the receiver's account - their account may be new or have an open dispute or claim or a history of transactions that have triggered system alerts.
