Title: paypal
Post by: Highlander on December 16, 2013, 18:35:32 PM
We are having a little difficulty on the Advent Calendar.

One kind donator has I message that his payment remains unclaimed by me.

But it does not appear on my list.

Anyone any ideas.

My Nigerian friend The Reverend Doctor Barrister Colonel Stanley Mbjono could sort this out for you.

Just email me details of your PayPal account, your mother's maiden name, her birthdate, the name of your favourite restaurant, the name of your first pet, your Verified By Visa password and the combination to your high-security sporran and we'll have the problem fixed in seconds. You'll never have to worry about money ever again.

Your One True Friend On Earth And In The Everafter.

Peace & Love.

What does a Status of Unclaimed mean?

An unclaimed payment is a payment that your recipient hasn’t accepted yet. There are a few reasons why your payment might be unclaimed.

A payment might be unclaimed because:

    The recipient hasn’t signed up for a PayPal account yet.
    You sent money to an email address that the recipient hasn’t added to their PayPal account. As soon as they add the address to their account, the money will show up in their balance.
    The recipient is still deciding whether they want to accept your payment. (This can happen if you don’t have a Confirmed address.)

To find out why your payment is unclaimed, contact the person you sent money to. After 30 days, an unclaimed payment is automatically canceled and the money is returned to you.

Thank you for that and I do apologise for your trouble.

I should have checked first.

The donation was made in error to john.stephen@hotmail.com when it should be john.stephen@hotmail.co.uk
