Transaction Stuck on Pending.

[DominicTheDev]

Hey! I recently bought a giftcard using paypal but my payment got declined. But on paypal it shows up as pending and I can't use those funds. Please can someone help me with when these funds are available to use and how long it will take for it to get out of pending?

When you pay a company then it is often pending or awaiting authorisation until that company processes your order and captures the pending payment.

If they don't process the order and capture that payment then the pending status times out at 30 days post-payment and returns back to your funding source.
