If its pending / unclaimed WITH a cancel option then cancel it because that means its been sent to a non-existent email address and will never complete.
If its pending / unclaimed withOUT a cancel option then it means its gone to an existing email account but not linked to a paypal account.
So if its the latter and the person it was sent to 'claims' it by opening a paypal account and linking that email address to it then sadly as it was a f/f payment there is nothing you can do about it as you sent them a gift of money.
However if they do NOT claim it and set up a paypal account then it will time out and be returned to you 30 days post payment.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

When you cancel a payment those funds can't do a u-turn > they have to process through to paypal who will as the transaction was cancelled return them to your funding source (if you paid from your bank account or with a card), or credit your paypal balance (if it was funded from that balance), but that takes a few days and sometimes up to a week.
