Some PayPal payments are posted to Bookerville with a status of "Pending". This can happen for a variety of reasons; usually it's because of an eCheck or similar payment. These usually clear without issue in a few days. You can learn more about this on the PayPal site.

We've got a request to accept PayPal payments which arrive with a "Pending" status as valid for holding bookings on the calendar (this pertains only to public calendars being run in Guest-Centric mode).

This seems like the right idea for holding bookings on the calendar, since most "Pending" PayPal payments will take at least a day or two to clear, and that's well past the 20-minute expiration.

So we're going to go ahead and implement this, but if anyone has any objections, please post here, and maybe we can make this a configurable option at the Account level.
