When you make a payment that can't be immediately accepted (such as one where you pay by credit card but the seller has not upgraded their PayPal account to accept credit card payments), the payment is 'unclaimed' because the seller has not upgraded their account to be allowed to accept it yet. So, for them, payment is 'pending' them accepting it. Basically, they need to upgrade, or cancel the payment and you can pay them instead from your PayPal balance (if you have one!) as this is acceptable immediately. Hope that helps. Phil
