Will I get money back for cancelled echeck?

Hi

 

This past weekend, I sent a payment to someone and they cancelled it because it was sent as an e-check and they wanted an instant transfer. 

 

Although the check was cancelled, the money was taken out of my account today. Will I get my money back since they cancelled the echeck? I can't ask for a transfer because they are no longer replying to my messages.

When a payment is cancelled, those funds can't do a u-turn > they have to process through to paypal who will then either return them to your funding source (if you paid with a debit or credit card), or credit your paypal balance (if it was funded from your balance or instant bank transfer), but that takes a few days and sometimes up to a week.

On my activity it says "Canceled - money sent." Does this mean the echeck was successfully cancelled?
