A while ago I bought books on Indigo and after giftcards, the amount ended up only being 19 cents. I tried to use my bank account connected to my Paypal and both times I tried the payment was placed but it is pending and I haven't been charged. I eventually used a different payment method (credit card that isn't connected to my Paypal) and I was able to buy what I wanted. However, the pending transactions are still there and seeing them is a little anxiety-inducing. I have proof of purchase and all that but was wondering if there was a way I could get rid of them now since I purchased it after all.

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.
