Re: Money Sent - Pending

HI Brendon,   I know it says this question is solved, and you may have already seen your transaction complete by now, but there are other factors in addition to just your bank no longer being accepted by PayPal.   First, I would call or do a Google search to confirm your bank is not supported.  If it is a big bank (Bank of Am, Cap-1, etc) then this is not your issue.   I know from my experience, if you've never sent money from that account before, or to that person, or have low fund availability (in your bank account), Paypal can process your payment as an e-check, which may take a few business days to complete.   If you click on this particular transaction on either your Summary or activity page, you will see details of this transaction including whether Paypal turned your instant transfer into an eCheck, estimated date of fund availability and the potentil to cancel/reverse the transaction.   Cancelling it wil actually take longer.  It will take at least 2-3 business day to process the request, and then an additional 2-3 days to reverse it.  Please note that the money will not be put back into a bank account directly if you cancel.  It will be stored as "cash" in your Paypal balance and from there you can send that money instantly to the person or "manually" put it back in your bank account.   I've also posted some links to people who have had/are having the same issue, as wells as some articles with tips/general info regarding this scenario.  I have not read these posts, but you may find them useful.   My last piece of advice is to do your own research.  I'm not passively talking about the other person in this thread, but in general I would not simply accept the first answer (not saying you did).  I would definitely utilize Google.  Paid Paypal employees do not interact with this site and may barely monitor it.  There are also other helpful forums that may provide additional info as users may be weary sharing certain info on a Paypal-sponsored site like this one.  This site does have volunteers, but does not necessarily mean they are looking out for your best interest/committed to your issue, or even make them subject-matter experts.   Good luck and I hope everything works out well for you.   WHY IS PAYENT PENDING - HOW DO I CANCEL IT? https://www.paypal.com/us/selfhelp/article/why-is-the-payment-i-sent-pending-what-if-i-want-to-cancel-it-faq2038   How to Send a Payment on PayPal Without It Pending http://yourbusiness.azcentral.com/send-payment-paypal-pending-21824.html   USER PAYMENT PENDING POST 1 /t5/About-Payments/Money-Sent-Pending-What-does-it-mean/td-p/1120626   USER PAYMENT PENDING POST 2  (may be UK-specific) /t5/Sending-and-receiving-money/Payment-Pending/td-p/258572   USER PAYMENT PENDING POST 3  (may be UK-specific) /t5/Archive/My-payment-has-been-sent-but-pending/td-p/553472     ...
