Why doesn't my item appear as "paid"?

Solve a problem

Go to My eBay, and click the "Won" link on the left side of the page. Locate your item. If the "Paid" icon is blue, you've paid for your item. If the icon is gray, you might need to make a payment or update your payment status.

Contact your seller if you have any questions about your payment status. On the item page, click the “Contact Seller” link.

Go to PayPal and click the "Sign Up" link at the top of the page.

You can find most of the answers to your PayPal questions by using PayPal’s Help Center. If you need additional assistance, contact PayPal Customer Service.
