Mass Payment payment statuses

[mdavidborden]

I am going to start using the Mass Payment feature, but I can't find information on the different statuses that are returened after submitting the payment.  I uploaded a test file with some email addresses that I knew were not Paypal addresses and I was hoping they would get bounced, but they came back as unclaimed.  What is the difference between denied and unclaimed?

* An unclaimed payment is one that is sent to an email address that is not registered.  If the transaction remains unclaimed for 30 days, it will be returned to the sender.

* A denied payment means your funds were not sent and the Mass Payment was not initiated. This may have been caused by lack of funds on your end.

* Processing means you have requested a mass payment and the disbursements are in the process of completion.

* Processed means that your Mass Payment has been processed and all payments have been sent out.

* Completed means that all of your payments have been claimed, or, after a period of 30 days, unclaimed payments have been returned to you.
