I just purchased an item but it says unpaid and there's a message saying 'Payment Pending'

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue today, but hope somebody can give me some advice.  I paid for an item just now, not expensive, and even though I've paid it's still says that's it's unpaid. I clicked for further information and the message reads 'payment pending' and on the order details it says ' payment is being processed.'  The payment isn't showing on the PayPal account either.  I have contacted the seller to see if they know why.

Can anybody give me any advice?

Online shopping has increased to massive, never-before-experienced levels, so all payment processors, including PayPal, are suffering delays. Their - and Ebay's - systems will eventually catch up. 🙂

nope, it was in limbo and was in my purchased items with an order number - then it went from my purchased items and was avaialble to buy again - so i rebought and paypal was instant - so i have 2 order numbers for the same item - but luckily only billed once.
