tried to transfer payment before bank linking was confirmed

I'm new to PayPal and did not totally understand how "confirming" the bank account worked. Just after I had PayPal send the two very small initial "test" payments, I went ahead and before I realized what was happening, accidentally tried to transfer a much larger payment, to my bank. It's not been quite half an hour, but I don't see the small payments in my checking account, and am concerned that I didn't successfully link the bank and that the bigger payment has vanished. Is there anything I can do? (I will keep checking, and if I see the small payments in my checking account, I will cancel this issue.) Thanks!
