 * we are only using paypal.
 * keep in mind I’m not a developer for this plugin, so I’m not completely sure 
   but I think if you set it to “COD” the system is waiting for you to manually 
   change the order status once you receive payment. (as in the cash will be given
   to you by hand or by mail)
    Like perhaps in the COD mode it’s a lot less automated
   and relying on you to confirm the order and the payment to change the status (
   COD payment as in cash or cheque?) That’s my logical explanation…
 * Also a real client ordered on our site from Australia last night around 9pm (
   we’re in Canada). We saw his order on our dashboard but did not receive an email
   confirmation or payment in our paypal account. We only received the payment late
   this afternoon, so there was a bit of a lag there.

 * so I also had this issue with a client of mine.
 * I don’t know if it’s the same case as you guys, but I did a test order on my 
   credit card and the order went through, billed to paypal and forwarded a receipt
   to the buyer and purchaser.
 * We realized that you can add items to the cart, go through with the order (add
   billing address) but then decide not to log in to paypal to pay, the site will
   register this as an order that is pending but won’t send a receipt via email 
   since the order was not fully completed and is waiting for a sort of payment…
 * hopefully that’s all there is to it.
 * * also my client reimbursed me and the status of my order automatically switched
   to refund. So that means that should the purchaser decide to pay, in theory, 
   it should switch from pending to processing/completed
