Hi all I paid for a few airline tickets through PayPal connected to my credit card. The payments were larger than most money I transfer in PayPal but the payments were connected to my credit card where there is a high limit. The payments are showing as pending on PayPal. And the tickets are also shown also as pending. Any idea how long it will take for the funds to go through? Will the tickets be ok in the meantime?

Some merchants take about a few days to capture payment. Did you receive a PayPal AND airline confirmation email receipt with tickets? You can always check at airline website for the validity of your tickets.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Non I forgot to mention that I didn’t get a confirmation email from anyone - not the airline nor PayPal. When I login to my American Airline account I can see the ticket but is says pending. No email confirmation sent.

Hi @Saraha0929,
Welcome to the community and thanks for posting.
You would be best to check this issue with the airline. If the payment is pending on PayPal, it generally means that we are waiting for the seller to capture it.
