PayPal balance is still negative even though they took the money already

[svbn]

Hi,

My PayPal is linked with my bank account, so my wallet is 0 euros. Whenever I buy something, PayPal will take it from my bank account 1-2 days later. However, I didn't't have enough on my bank account on the day that PayPal would take this particular money, so PayPal blocked my account as in I can't pay anything with PayPal at the moment (understandable).

I know that the solution is to add money to my wallet to get rid of the negative balance, however I saw that the moment I had enough money in my bank account, PayPal took the money I had to pay previously. Now, it's been 3 days (not weekend) since PayPal took the money yet my wallet balance is still negative? I don't want to add the money manually because then I would have paid twice...

Can someone help me? What should I do... because I have a lot of automatic payments on my Paypal which are now all on hold and that's becoming a big problem...

Transfers from bank accounts are never instant, that is why when you buy something paypal credit the seller upfront for you and paypal take the wait for the funds to transfer to pay them back again, this is so you get your item without delay.

Takes 5-7 working days to transfer as Paypal use the slowest (cheapest) transfer option BUT funds normally leave your bank account from a few hours up to a few days later.
