Hi there,
Can you see that the payment is showing a status of Unclaimed or Uncleared?
If it's showing a status of unclaimed, it would mean that the payment is trying to be sent to an email address that isn't registered on your sellers PayPal account. Your best option would be to contact your seller directly in order for them to investigate this on your behalf. If they don't have access to the email address, you would need to cancel the payment and then resend the funds to the correct email address using the Send Money tab from your PayPal account.
If the payment is showing a status of uncleared, it means that the payment is being sent to your seller as an eCheck payment. This means that the funds are placed on a pending status until they complete processing from your bank account. A bank funded payment takes between 5 and 7 working days to complete processing between your bank and the PayPal system so once the payment completes, we would then credit the funds directly to your seller.
I hope this information helps,
David.
