Pending Transactions....

Can anyone tell me if a Pending transaction would have already drawn the money from my bank account ? I went to order a pair of shoes a few days ago, and the stores website didn't take the instant pay from PayPal the first time through and the website asked me to repeat the process again. So, I repeated the process with the same results 3 more times ! Then I logged into my PayPal account to find that all of them were sitting there as Pending. I called PayPal, and Finsh Line and talked to them both. Finish Line seems to have everything squared away for me, and the rep. from PayPal said that the Pending items would be removed within 24 hours. It's been well over 24 hours now, and I still have 3 items sitting on my recent activity with a Pending Status. They are all for the one and the same item. So they are all for the same exact price each. Finish Line (shoe store), has everything understood and even told me on the phone that they were having troubles with their website that day. But yet here on PayPal I still have 3 pending items and I would really like to find a way to cancel or remove those, Is there a way to do this ? As I said, I did call the merchant and PayPal directly and everything should be ironed out by now they claimed to me. So I am wondering if while those items are stuck in a Pending Status, if this has already withdrawn the money from my bank account ? I certainly hope not. If anyone knows how this works or can help me with this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Thank-You in Advance.

How long ago did this happen to you ? I mean since they have taken the monies from my bank account, I am wondering if this happened to you for good. If I can take those funds from PayPal and push them back into my bank account after 30 days then I can live with that if I have to. Don't really wanna, nor do I like the fact that this is going on, but just as long as I don't end up paying well over $200.00 for one pair of tennis shoes then I'll be okay with that since it seems like the only thing that I can do is wait and see.... So I really wonder how long ago this same incident happened to you. Was it within the last 30 days ? Or do you think that neither of us are ever gonna see our money again ? Thanks for posting.

Isn't that so nice of them... Hence the reason I am out of here after this payment clears. I hope they can pay my overdraft fee too because I tried to pay a bill with it... Very disappointed in this company.

Yes I know what you mean. I like having the ability to use PayPal. It makes a lot of thing quicker and easier. However, once my pending transactions get cleared and so long as I am able to transfer my money back into my bank account then I am going to close my PayPal account for good. They have no reason to take people's money out of their bank account until the transaction is actually happening. I can't see any reason to pull someone's money out on them when the transaction is only pending. If the merchant were to pick up on it and accept the payment, then that is when the money should actually move from your bank and to the seller. It's great to have a couple of hundred dollars out there floating around doing nothing, but yet I can't use it or get to it and it is mine. Specially right now during the holday season. That's just completely wrong. Thanks for your post.
