Hi @Robert170,
Thank you for your post! That may happen from time to time. If the system has any concerns that the transaction may have been unauthorized, you might receive a text message asking you if the payment was authorized. The payment will still have gone through so it's OK to not respond to the message if you do not want to, but it's a means of alerting us if the transaction was not actually made by you and you received the message. If you ever receive the message unexpectedly and want to check your account to confirm, you can also ignore the message and open the PayPal app or go to PayPal.com in a browser and check your transactions that way. If there's anything you didn't authorize, you can report it directly from there.
I hope this helps!
Olivia
