Payment authorization pending on failed purchased

Hi, I was attempting to use Pay in 4 to buy something from Target, but the item sold out. Despite the item selling out I still have a pending authorization for a large sum of money to my paypal and bank account. How long does it take for that to go away, and funds to be returned?

When you pay a company (rather than an ebay seller or individual), then it is often pending until that company processes your order and captures the pending payment.

If they don't process that order and capture the pending payment then the pending status times out at 30 days post-payment.
