    While your payment's status says "pending" or "reviewing", the payment solution you have used has not completed their part of verifying the purchase. Once they have processed the payment on their side and sent the payment to Perfect World Entertainment, the status will change from pending/reviewing. There is no estimated time that these things take so you just need to be patient while the payment solution approves/denies your purchase. The newer your account is, the chance of your payment taking a while to approve is increased.

    Sometimes PayPal suspends transactions while they conduct an additional review into them. They are informing the customers that the transaction has been processed, and essentially it has, but they fail to inform the customers that there is an additional "payment review" being conducted. While this is happening we are not able to intervene. Approval typically takes approximately 24 hours after the review has been initiated. We understand this can be an inconvenience. For further information on payment reviews, please see PayPal's website:

    Thank you for your understanding.

    While you seem to believe it's Paypal having the issue, I have done it as well as Google Checkout - are you telling me they are BOTH conducting audits at the exact same time? You guys might want to look at an issue on your end.

    Only the second paragraph is in regards to PayPal specifically and the chance of having a delay there. The first paragraph describes what "pending" or "reviewing" means on the transaction while you wait for it to be approved. All purchases should complete within the first 24 hours after it was made. There are numerous things that can cause a delay so do not worry if 15 minutes passes and your payment is not completed. Most payments complete between instantly and 60 minutes with the rare ones that take longer. If you have any issues with a purchase, email our billing department and we can look into the issue for you.

    Our logs show that both of your purchases completed within 10 minutes of them being made in our systems.

    I charged my ZEN with a Debit Card (as I have recently) And it has been in the status "Reviewing" for the past 13 hours, can you look into it for me?
