Why do the one echecks stay the same and say pending until the 6th and the other one just changes each day. I have had that happen before and it did clear after a week.
Just wondered what it means and I can't find it anywhere.

This happens because checks/echecks takes longer to clear. When Paypal tells you "Sept 6th" for checks, it's just an estimate. All kinds of things can slow the process down such as banks, holidays, etc.
The best thing thing to do is to (a) not deliver your product or service until the payment clears, and (b) to contact Paypal to clarify the date.
Good luck!
