I would like to know how and where I can go to reverse an accidental double payment that both have been put on hold and I would like to cancel the one payment. Please assist as to how I can do this, or is it possible to just reject the payment once the 48 hour window of hold has passed?

Hi @Mrchristmas,
Thank you for posting your question in the Community. I'm sorry to hear about the accidental payment. The fastest way to receive a refund for a duplicate payment would be to contact the recipient directly. If they are unwilling to help, you can ask PayPal to investigate the matter further by filing a dispute.
I hope this is resolved for you soon!
