Hello @aimvis, 

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum! 

I'm sorry to hear your recent payment to your girlfriend is waiting. A great Help Center article to learn about payment status is, What does the status of my payment mean? I can think of a couple of different scenarios that might have happened. The first situation that comes to mind is that the payment was sent as an eCheck. You can learn more eChecks on our Help Center here. If the payment wasn't sent as an eCheck, it might have been placed under review. This article talks about transaction reviews for withdrawals, but the information also applies to sent payments. 

The last one I can think of is that the payment was accidentally sent as a Goods & Services payment rather than a Friends & Family payment. If that happened, her transaction could have been placed on a payment hold. If she's never sold anything before, the information here will likely apply the most to her. If she's an established seller, she'll want to check out, Why was my payment placed on hold? and How do I lift a payment hold?

I hope this information helps you both determine what happened!
