A pending payment just means that the payment has not went through yet.

Sometimes a payment can be pending for an hour or two when you pay through Paypal and your bank account.

For example when I buy something on ebay the payment I make through my bank account through Paypal will stay on pending payment status for about 10 to 20 minutes.

Then it updates to say the payment went through.

So if you buy something on Ebay and your payment is pending when you pay through Paypal and your bank account then it can take a few minutes or so for the payment to process fully.

If the payment has still been in pending for a day or two then contact ebay or your bank to find out what is going on.

Most payments will go through though on their own within a few hours at most.

As long as you have sufficient funds in your bank account or debit card etc to pay for the amount of purchase then it should be out of pending status within a few minutes to a few hours at most.

Hello, accepting online payments is a real headache for small, medium and even large businesses. Online stores usually offer 1-2 payment methods, and the most popular is still the transfer of funds to the card of one of the store employees. This is not always convenient for the seller, who must pay taxes on this amount, and the buyer, who covers the transfer fee. Any businessman is well aware that some of his potential customers may prefer other payment methods: through a terminal, from a mobile phone or electronic money. By integrating the payment system at payadmit com into your website, you will provide your customers with all the most popular online payment methods.
