Hello,
First post here 🙂
I recently purchased a record from the well-known site: https://www.discogs.com/
I have been charged via PayPal but the status on the site is still showing "Payment Pending" on Discogs.
I looked into the issue on both Discogs and Paypal, and find the below information:
I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this issue - my account has been charged and the seller will not ship the record until the status is changed from "Payment Pending" to "Payment Received".
Cheers,
George
Solved! Go to Solution.
It is what Discogs said.
If you sent a PayPal eCheck, the seller must wait for the eCheck to clear PayPal first before shipping. PayPal will tell seller to not ship until eCheck has cleared. Discogs Order status will change from Payment Pending to Payment Received when eCheck has cleared.
But if after eCheck clears or a instant payment is sent, PayPal puts a 21 day hold on the payment, Discogs order will still have “Payment Pending” status but the seller must ship order, enter tracking number into the PayPal transaction and upon confirmation of delivery by PayPal via tracking, the money is released within 1 day.
See: How can I release my payment(s) on hold?
Seller should understand what the PayPal 21 day hold is all about. If that link don’t work due to location, they should go to the PayPal Help Center from their PayPal account and type “Hold” in the search bar for more information.
The seller has to log on to their PayPal account, click on the transaction and look for this section:
