I tried to pay for an order with Pay For 4.

I was not able to complete the order, have not received any confirmation email about the order, but see a charge by Pay For 4 on my account.

I decided to purchase a high value item using PayPal's Pay For 4 option. There was some sort of error during the transaction, and I was not able to place the order. It happened in between the agreement to use Pay For 4 and when I was supposed to be redirected to the vendor to complete my transaction. I do see a charge from Pay For 4 on my account, but I do not see an email from either Pay For 4 or the vendor confirming my order. Why did Pay For 4 charge my account when the transaction did not complete successfully? Has the order been placed? Is there an approval period for the order? I am not sure what is going on.

I just had the exact same issue occur. So am I just out this money, or what? I've tried contacting PayPal several times to resolve this, and have not been able to talk to a human being. I'm so frustrated.

This has happened 3 times to me now. The money eventually goes back to the account but Pay Pal can’t seem to answer why it is happening.

How long before the money returns ?
