Bill Me Later Issues - RESOLVED (Can delete!)

[Sunshine]

Okay so I searched the forums here for other topics on Paypal's Bill Me Later. I contemplated, and did, make a purchase and intended to use Bill Me Later to pay for it (and it was offered on the listing). So, once the listing ending, I went to pay for two items together with the Bill Me Later. I logged in, followed all the instructions in a timely manner (no timing out) and then was eventually directed back to eBay. I read it quickly but I remember it saying something about my transaction still pending...

Well, I got an email confirming my order of both items, and then I went to eBay and it shows that the larger dollar amount item is "unpaid" right now. I also logged into Paypal to check my Bill me Later account, and the only charge showing up is the smaller dollar amount item.

Does anyone have experience with this? I was approved for a MUCH higher dollar amount than I spent, so it shouldn't be a matter of anything like that. I'm wondering how long I should wait to see if I should try to pay "again" or... what... I did try to pay again right after to see if maybe the higher dollar amount item didn't go through but it just gave me an error.

I'm assuming it's still processing or something, but it's got my nerves all wacked out... so... talk me down? LOL Any experience or advice would be helpful!

Edit: As per the third post here, my issues are resolved and my ponies will hopefully be on their way to me shortly!

To be honest, I am not entirely sure.  I know there was an announcement on ebay yesterday that Paypal checkout was experiencing problems.

I guess you could call BML and ask. I have an account but I quit using it because the finance charges were ridiculous. So I have never experienced any major problems since I only used it several times.

I might just modify the top post to ask this to be closed...

So I called Bill Me Later after still having the item not being shown as paid. I basically told them it was my first time trying to use it, and I had an order on eBay from two sellers and it paid both of them at the same time (an oops on my part, but the cheap one was only $10 so, I'm not worried about it too much). Well only the $10 item was showing as on the BML account.

When I called them, I had to answer a whole bunch of security questions, and the rep was telling me he was seeing some "declines". Well that item I tried to pay for was declined, but I never got any emails or anything. He said normally, and they updated my account to make sure if that ever DOES happen again, I would get an email... And then, basically, the transaction was approved, and I'm all set. Item is paid for, and I'm already ready to make payments towards it. (I only bought something a *little* bit out of my budget, so hopefully using BML will be a breeze!)

So... we can keep this open I guess if anyone wants to ask about BML problems or something? But for me, I'm resolved.
