My two transactions that didn’t go through- have been listed as pending for 31 days now. I was told by PayPal there was nothing I could do and they would reach out to me if i had any questions. I try to report it there always says there is an error in my app and when I call it says wait 30 days. It’s $200 and I need it for rent really badly. Does anyone know anything I can do to speed up the process? I asked PayPal to cancel it and vendor, the vendor never received the funds (he showed me a screenshot of his PayPal account on his end it said “denied” by my attempted transactions) and it although they were debited from my checking account. I cannot file a dispute with my bank because they don’t “protect ACH” transactions only debit cards. If I had known this, I would have never used PayPal that way. I was patient and waited 30 days for it to “drop off” now I want answers! Please help!

Hello @CaucasianAsian3,
Welcome to the PayPal Community! I'm sorry to hear you're running into some issues with two pending transactions. Normally, any pending authorizations / transactions would be cancelled after 30 days. I would recommend reaching back out to our Customer Support teams for further assistance on this one. They're available by clicking Contact at the bottom of the PayPal website. They're also available through Twitter direct message or Facebook instant message.
Good luck!
