Yes, we know these transactions are pending.  For me, they drop off after 2-3 weeks.  But the question is WHY?  Why now after all these years with old accounts and old cards - and no changes with the cards or accounts.  Why the sudden change?  If it’s a change of policy, then PayPal should at least own up to it and explain why, not just shrug their shoulders.  They’re charging it, it’s their transaction, but they say they don’t know what it is.
