Issues finding Paypal Money received at Checkout before I set up PayPal account

[thecincyhat]

Hi - I started selling on 11/22 and did not realize that PayPal checkout was activated and I had not connected a PayPal account. We connected a PayPal account on 11/25 and are receiving that money just fine, but all of the PayPal checkout payments received before are showing a Payment Pending state and show they'll be refunded if we don't claim them in 30 days. I set up a PayPal business account using the same email address but when my setup was completed I could not find the funds from all of these orders. There are 150 or so of them.

Has anyone run into this issue? How should I go about recovering these funds from PayPal?
