Please ~ What does "Card autorised but not debited yet" mean?

"Card authorised but not debited yet"

Have got an icon with this message in MyeBid
on an item I am selling ..
Nothing whatsoever showing in my PayPal ...
So, what can it mean?

Sorry if I'm being daft ... again!
LOL

Have found out what this means!
My buyer has made payment without obtaining my PayPal email address
so their payment has been made to an unauthorised email addess!

Have contacted them asking if this is in fact what has happened ...

Has anyone else been in this position?
If so, what was the eventual outcome?

Thanks for looking ...

If the email address they've used is still one of yours, rather than a complete muck up, you can just add it to your account and the payment will go through.
