Hi there - I had to send some money to a friend but in my half awake state, I typed the wrong PayPal payment address in (.com instead of .co.uk) and clicked send before realising my dumb error. I redid the payment, to the correct address and I've received two emails from PayPal detaling both payments, but only the correct payment, to the correct email address has appeared in my summary details. I take it I'll be charged for both? If the incorrect PayPal payment address doesn't exist, will the money not be claimed and I'll get it back? How does it work, I need help sorting my stupidity out. I must remember to check before clicking 'send', clearly. Thanks for any advice.

I went back to my summary and the incorrect transaction was listed as 'Pending', so I cancelled it. Have I solved my own problem? Am I talking to myself? Yeah, probably.
