Payment Declined but Paypal Payment 'Completed'

I bought something on Ebay a few days ago and my bank declined the payment for a fraud check, then told me that because of the check the payment hadn't gone through and I would need to purchase it again. Unfortunately Ebay had registered the item as bought and Paypal is showing the transaction in the 'Completed' section as having gone through. It's a few days later and my bank account is still not showing any money having been taken out, so now I don't know whether the payment has actually been processed and is just delayed or if my seller isn't going to see their money at all.

For future reference, the payment went through this morning. I don't know what happened but the transaction seemed to have gone through despite the fraud check having told me it didn't. That's a relief and hopefully it'll reassure others having the same problem.
