I applied about the same day as yours and I received my ETA about 18 hours later.
And the easiest way to pay for your e-visa is via PayPal. I tried SBI twice with different cards and it was pretty much automatically "declined by bank" although my bank didn't even see any attempt. Processing fees is slightly higher but your application is canceled after 3 unsuccessful payment attempts.
