What does "deffered purchase payment" mean?

A 'deferred purchase payment' refers to an order where the transaction has been initiated, but the final settlement or payment from your bank hasn't fully cleared yet.

During this period, the purchase is locked in at the price you agreed to, but the metal or funds may be held in a 'pending' state. Once the payment successfully clears the banking system (usually within 3–5 business days), the 'deferred' status is removed, and the assets become fully available for you to ship or liquidate.
