Hi @VeryBerryChoco,
Welcome to the PayPal Community!
I'm sorry to hear that a payment you sent is still pending. I understand how concerning this would be.
As @kernowlass has stated, the pending status could be due to the payment being sent as an eCheck. If this is the case, you should see a date stating when the payment is expected to clear. You can learn more about why an eCheck payment may be pending by visiting the Help Center link here.
If the payment was not sent as an eCheck, it may be on hold. You can visit the Help Center to view reasons why a payment may be put on hold. If the payment is on hold in your friend's account, please have them reach out to our Customer Support if they have questions about the hold.
I hope this helps!
