I paid for two items yesterday but it is still showing (in "my ebay" account) that they are awaiting payment.

I have received the 2 email receipts from paypal verifying I have paid for the items.

Just wondering whats going on. I've only actively been using ebay for about 2 months now and have yet to experience this. Is this common?

Thanks in advance
 
I just think there's a lag between the two systems...I wouldn't be too worried about it. If like 3 or 4 days start goin by, then you may want to start emailing and figure out what's goin on. It's happened to me before as well.
 
It always takes about a day for it to register for me. As long as you get the email from paypal you know it went through and the seller knows too.

I had that happen about a month ago.... I just had to pay for the items again a couple days later.

pay AGAIN? Why would I do that tho? I've already paid
 
I"ve had the same problem, with it not showing up on my Ebay as paid, but the transaction has gone through paypal, and the seller has received their money, so no need to repay for them. It is probably a glitch in the system between paypal and ebay.

I emailed both sellers. One replied within minutes, and the other has yet to reply.
 
Maybe not the same problem as what i had then... when i did it, i got an e-mail from the seller saying that he hadn't gotten the money. When I checked ebay, it still had the pay now icon up so i just did it agian.

Jake, You better check your paypal account. It sounds to me like you paid twice. Mike
 
Funny thing...

I paid for both items at the same time.

Now today, 1 is marked as paid and the other is still "unpaid." BUT the seller of the "unpaid" one has left me positive feedback because he looked in his paypal account and the money was there.
 
I had the same thing happen on the last three auctions I paid for. I have the receipts and just marked them as paid.
Best thing to do is check your account and in the listing make sure it is there, also make sure that the transaction is completed.
