Pending payment

Hello,

I bought something on ebay on the 25th, and they say that they're still awaiting payment from Paypal, as it is still being processed.  Paypal say it is pending until the 3rd January (today) and the money has left my account.

Does anybody know why it's taking so long?
Has this happened to anyone else?

If you ONLY have a bank account linked to your paypal account and NOT a back up debit or credit card linked as well then it will always go as an echeque.

 

The seller will get paid when it clears which hopefully should be today if that is what it says.

Sounds as if you have paid using an echeque.

 

An echeque is sent when you don't have a back up debit or credit card also listed on paypal OR that card has expired and needs updating.

That's what I don't understand, as I only recently joined and Paypal said all of my bank details were ok. 

Does that mean that the seller will get paid?
