Canceling an Echeck

[Mattlul]

I made my first purchase ever on Paypal this morning, I purchased a one months subscription to an online game. I didn't realize I was using an Echeck, till I clicked confirm. And now I have to wait up to a week to gain my subscription. I was wondering if there was an actual way to cancel this transaction from happening. I looked on 'Details' and the the transaction was "un-cleared". But, I had no option on canceling it. Is there any way to cancel this Echeck?

P.S. I posted on this online game's billing forum, and they said there is nothing they can do on their end.

Unfortunately you can't cancel the eCheck, only unclaimed payments.

From the Help FAQs:

Can I cancel a payment that I've already sent?

You can cancel only unclaimed payments. If the payment is complete, you can contact the person who received the payment and request a refund.
To cancel an unclaimed payment:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click History.
3. Click Cancel under Order Status/Actions.
4. Click Cancel Payment next to the unclaimed payment.

Note:

• A payment is automatically cancelled if the recipient doesn’t accept it within 30 days.
• If you paid with a credit card, it can take up to 30 days for a refund to appear on your card statement.

If you want to request a refund for a completed payment, here’s how to find a seller’s contact information:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click History.
3. Click Details next to the transaction.
