Beware of scammers, if there is no money in your paypal balance and you have not had an email from paypal to say the buyer has paid then they have not paid.
If you received an email double check it was actually FROM paypal, if you can give us an idea of the transaction and email we may pick up clues for you.

Even if it was pending it would still SHOW IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT BALANCE BUT HAVE PENDING BY IT.
Sounds like a scam, are you sending the item to Africa or similar, can you give some details?

Thought so THIS IS A TYPICAL PAYPAL SCAM.........DO NOT SEND THE ITEM....READ THIS >>>
They encourage you to use paypal DIRECT and often ask you to send the item as a gift to a relative somewhere often Nigeria.
You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.
They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send trackable, they advise it for seller protection etc but it is not compulsory.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
File an unpaid item dispute on ebay to get your final value fee refunded and relist.
The scammer has used a hi-jacked genuine U.S ebay account to bid on your item but is a well known scam.
Do a search on google and put in Nigeria / ebay / paypal and you will see.

As long as you have strong passwords on both ebay and paypal and beware of spoof emails that get you to log in using a link in an email then you should be ok.
The scammer can't use your email address without your password.
Glad i logged on this morning to stop this happening, off shopping now, bye
