invoice in draft status

[dfuentes]

I created an invoice and then I clicked to send it. The next step is to wait for an email that paypal sent to me to confirm the invoice but the email never arrived so the invoice still in draft status.  I've been waiting for about an hour. Do any body knows how long I have to wait for the confirmation email to come?

The same thing happened to me.  When an invoice is marked as 'draft' status, it has not been sent.  It seems that paypal will sometimes save the invoice as a draft when you are attempting to send it.. This may be an error.

To send the invoice that you have just worked so hard on, you have to open the draft invoice (click on the link beside draft with the invoice number on it).  Once the invoice is open, click edit.  Once the edit invoice page has loaded, click send.  This will send the 'draft' and it should be changed to 'sent' status.

Hope this helps anyone who has gone through a frustrating experience dealing with paypal invoices!
