Paypal. have I missed something?

Ive sent a test payment from one of my Paypal account through my site. I went to check for something unrelated today and in the account the payment was sent from its status is "unclaimed".
I checked the account it should have gone to and theres no sign of the payment.
Have I set it up wrong or do I have to claim the payment somehow?

Re: Paypal. have I missed something?

That's a result of entering the wrong email address in your Zen Cart PayPal Website Payments Standard/IPN payment module settings. PayPal has sent the money to the email address you entered ... but, that email address is not connected to a real PayPal account, so it's sitting waiting for someone to create a PayPal account with that address (or add that address to an existing PayPal account).
