Help with purchase/voucher

I had an email from ebay with a £20 of first purchase over £40 through paypal so I made an eBay purchase and applied the voucher. Which took my checkout down to £20. But looking at my PayPal it's taken the full 40, and I'm now £40 down. Can you explain what's happened? I tried the voucher again on the same purchase, but didn't checkout, and the voucher is still valid so somehow it must have been removed. Can I apply the voucher after purchase or can you cancel my purchase so I can try and re do.

this is a user to user forum and not paypal customer services.

 

normally the full amount will show in your paypal account BUT the reduced amount is taken from your funding source, so check your bank account or card to see what was deducted.

The source is the money I had already in my PayPal. The money has dropped by £40. Where can I contact PayPal directly, ideally not email as it takes ages to get solved. Thanks

Click on the words "Contact" at the bottom of your paypal account summary page and use the phone option (if there is one in the country you are in) > click on the "call us" option on the left (fees "may" apply so check the cost with your phone tariff first, as you sometimes have to wait a while to connect).

When you get through don't select any options just hang on till you get transfered to an agent or say the word "agent".



OR have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?

You can send them a personal message from their facebook or twitter pages.

It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPal and @AskPayPal for Twitter.

I'm currently waiting on twitter. Thankfully the seller has refunded me. But I'm wary as to trying again incase the same happens

Thanks for your help. I've screenshotted the checkout page with my details cropped out. The attachment button below the message box does nothing?
