Payment

[pampam1]

I made a payment and on my summary page it shows completed.  Underneath that it says repeat transaction.  When I called PayPal the automatic voice mail said the payment had been deducted from my bank account but it hasn't been.  So am I supposed to repeat the transaction.  I don't want to pay the same person twice!

I am guessing that you made a payment via the friends / family option?

If so then the 'repeat transaction' is on all of those payments in case you want to send to a mate or family member again as it saves you typing it all in again, it is NOT a request to do so.

BUT NEVER use that option if its for a buying transaction or you will have no buyer protection.

As for your payment, when you pay a seller it is never instant > paypal CREDIT the seller and then paypal take the wait for the funds to transfer from your funding source. The funds can leave your bank account from a few hours up to a few days later.
