I subscribed to Abundance Plus (a+) via Roku and paid for the subscription using my Paypal account on August 7th. Paypal shows the request with a $1 charge and the message "waiting on merchant." When I attempt to watch anything on the channel, I'm told I need to subscribe. When I attempt to subscribe I'm told the item has already been purchased.
What is the hold up?
I think you have the answer there. PayPal is stating they are waiting for the merchant to acknowledge the transaction. That is likely A+ that they're waiting on. Since you subscribed on a Saturday, it's possible that there's no one to confirm the transaction until today. Not all companies are completely automated in such a function, and a real person might have to do something. 🙂
