Cancelation

[Mpa287]

I entered wrong email address while attempting to send money to an individual. How do I cancel that payment? There is no cancel button in activities. Payment was attempted last night, only 18 hrs ago

You can only cancel if there is a cancel option and that is only when the email address is non existent and so can never complete.

If its pending withOUT a cancel option then it means the email address is valid but not yet linked to a paypal account and so would time out at 30 days post payment.

If however it completes ie the person who owns that email address claims it by setting up a paypal account with that email address then your options for getting it back again depend on how you sent it.

Did you use friends/family or goods/services?
