daniel Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I placed my first order ever with my PayPal account today and I'm confused as to how everything works. My account is Verified and when I set it up I linked it directly with my checking bank account. On my PayPal page it says that the payment is "Unclear". What does this mean? I thought instant payments were a big part of PayPal. I'm really confused as to how this all works. Am I just waiting on the store to approve the order or what? Do I have to do anything else to be sure that the seller gets payed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyheavylowlow Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I don't think anyone is meant to understand how Paypal works, I had 8 quid in my balance yesterday, went to spend it today and apparently my band card has been billed 15 quid for shit all. so I'm out 23 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
refused Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 u need to have a back up source (like a credit card) for instant payments... otherwise u just send e-cheques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 "uncleared" just means that the payment hasn't fully been processed yet. give it a day and that may change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 for the seller e-checks take about 5 days to clear and are basically a small hassle to deal with. use your atm card as a backup source so you can make the payment instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
