Paypal Credit purchase charged Paypal regular account?!

[rachel0041]

Help! I just purchased airfare using Paypal Credit but I think it may have charged my regular Paypal (not Credit) account instead, which is tied to my bank account. What do I do?

Ask airline to cancel and issue a refund. I would not attempt to try it again if any of your linked funding sources is not an option for this purchase because PayPal could again deny the charge.

On rare occasions, PayPal will rescind approval of a PayPal Credit charge even after you've checked out with it as the funding source and instead put it on one of your linked funding sources. I've observed by reports in the forums that this happens most with airline tickets, even though it was just a few incidents.
