Sold a item on ebay and money is pending. Help!

I sold a item on the 6th June on ebay and on my ebay it says payment was initiated on 6th June 13 and is being processed through paypal. I have checked my paypal and it says the money is pending but on the transactions details it says the payment status is complete and it is ok to send.  I currently have no money hence why I sold my item and if the money is pending I cannot send it to the buyer. I have spoken to the buyer about the issue and he apologised for what was happening. He said he made the payment on the 6th June and it says it was completed so it should of gone through. This is my first ever item that I have sold. It is not my email address as I have checked that and I have bought stuff from ebay a few weeks ago and I received my item and they received their payment. Could someone please help me with this as I really do not know what else to do.

Hi cathwinnie

 

Go to your ebay sold page, find the transactions and click sell similar

Scroll down the page to your email address and double check its correct witout any spelling mistakes

Hi angelic-light

 

You cant change your ppal email address once the listing has ended

You can try adding the correct email addresss to your ppal and see if the money comes through

 

Revise any active listings without any bids now

Remember to change the address on future listings to avoid the same problem

I have had a couple of these. And to be honest it's happening more and more. Pay pal will refund there money. They always do. That's why I will not be selling again on ebay. They forget its a auction site not a catlogue
