What exactly do you mean?  Your answer to the previous query is somewhat vague.

 

I have a vendor who is shipping me an item, but their transaction says 'expired', so what does that mean for them?  And why would a transaction expire without notification from PayPal?

 

Thank you!

Just to clarify--thank you for bearing with me--this means they aren't going to get the payment, since they didn't get it within the open window to claim it?  And I won't be billed again?  Again, my thanks.
