Hi Mulhem89,

 

Welcome!

 

Did you use your bank account to make your purchase? If so then canceling the payment will keep the money from being sent to the seller but the transfer from your bank account will still be processed.

 

The money will be deposited into your PayPal account when it's received.

Welcome to the boards!

 

If a subscription payment has been sent because the subscription wasn't cancelled in time, the first place to start would be to contact the merchant and request a refund.

 

Thanks!

Cancelling the purchase does nothing to cancel the attempt to take money out of your bank account.

 

They will still try to take money out of your bank account, and you will be billed for NSF fees by your bank if you don't have the money in your account.

This is something you SHOULD be mentioning in your cancel help.

As well as when giving "HALF" truth answers as was given above by Adrian.

 

Because even if the merchant is nice enough to cancel your purchase,

PAYPAL WILL STILL ATTEMPT TO TAKE MONEY OUT OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.

It will just go to your available money in paypal instead.
