Hello.

Recently i received 2 payments from a friend.
We both have verified accounts, and when i received the payments they went to pending balance.

 

And i was waiting for a bit now and they still pending?
Why? 
From a confirmation email from paypal i received when this friend of mine sent the payment was said : mark the item as shipped..
But there is not such an option?

So can somebody plz tell me, for how long will the payment stay pending, and what can i do to get my funds active as soon as posible?

Best Regards.

The sad part is I'm not at all expecting to get any kind of solution oubof this, I'm basically just writing because I am so hopelessly **bleep** off and totally done with PayPal that if I don't spill it out it's going to literally ruin my entire night, I know this because it happen at least twice a week, every week. That's right, at least two times in any given week, PayPal will find a way to **bleep** me over, I'm sick to death of it. 

This time I can't seem to find one other instance of fellow paypal users with the same issue, which is odd, because usually there are lots of us, even so I know that paypal certainly doesn't consider me special enough to spend any time devising some unique way to **bleep** with me, so there's got to be someone out there who's seen this before. On to the point, sorry for the rant, my father just sent me money from his available paypal balance, as a friends and family sender. When the transaction showed up on my end, on the summary page it says completed, but there's no additional funds in my account and no changes at all in my balance. When I pull up the transaction it then says it's "pending". WTF I say..? It's been 8 hours now, it's still pending, no change. He sent me to he made net from his available balance, so why the f**ck is it being held?? This is the ONE single type of transaction I believed that paypal wouldn't f**ck with. I mean, why would they right? But behold- th Yvette done it. WHY!?

Yeah I sent something friend to friend and add cash to my account so I don't have to deal with anything pending and it's pending on the other side not mine. 100% friend to friend and I'm not the only person that's had this happen. I will call PayPal when I get a chance it's just really frustrating they took my money and friend did not receive ... literally why I add cash to pay pal .
