Payment Review is an early warning system that helps you to protect sellers from fraudulent payments. Payment Reviews are automatic - we don’t have to sign up for them.
When thry spot a payment that might be fraudulent, thry temporarily stop the payment from going through so thry can look at it more closely. We send you an email to let you know that the payment is Pending while we do a Payment Review. Reviews usually take up to 24 hours to complete.
If they find that the payment is legitimate, they let you know by email and on your Transaction Details page. You can ship the item and you’ll be eligible for Seller Protection as long as the transaction follows seller protection guidlines
If they decide that the payment is most likely fraudulent, we automatically cancel it to protect you.
