The same transaction shows in three accounts. Why

Will I get charged more than once. I paid by PayPal and was told an error had occurred, so could I pay by an alternative method. So I paid by my Google wallet. Now the guy I'm paying has confirmed the transaction. But it's showing in three locations. 1: as pending in PayPal account 2. In my Google account 3 in my current account. I assume that my Google account took my payment and charged it to my current account. But what is happening to my PayPal account. May have to wait and see.

When you pay a company then it is often pending or awaiting authorisation until that company processes your order and captures the pending payment.

If they don't process the order and capture that payment then the pending status times out at 30 days post-payment and returns back to your funding source.

Sometimes the merchant can void the transaction on their side in which case you may get the funds released more quickly.

Payment showing on PayPal. My bank and Google pay. The supplier has received my payment but it's showing in my PayPal account. My Google account and in my bank account. Seems very odd to me. Is this down to the android 14 fiasco where not a lot works as it should?
