Placed order on GameStop using my PayPal balance. Order failed on GameStop's website, but shows pending on PayPal. GameStop was contacted and they stated that they do not see this pending transaction on their system. PayPal support has told me to keep contacting GameStop as they cannot cancel pending transactions. I've seen other posts regarding GameStop orders using PayPal, has anyone had any luck with this situation?

When you pay a company then it is often pending or awaiting authorisation until that company processes your order and captures the pending payment.
If they don't process the order and capture that payment then the pending status times out at 30 days post-payment and returns back to your funding source.
