Canceling a pay in 4 payment authorization

[alyssa_michelle]

So I was trying to set up a pay in 4 but didn’t complete my order on the website I was ordering from. PayPal charged me anyway and I need to cancel them. They say authorization pending and I’m planning on calling customer support when they open but I thought I’d try here first.

Hello @alyssa_michelle,

Thank you for reaching out to us through the Community! 

I understand your concern regarding the Pay in 4. Please know that if the payment did not complete but the funds have been deducted and states as authorization pending and if the person you sent money to doesn't claim the money within 30 days, the full amount will be refunded to the original payment method. You’ll need to contact the merchant to cancel an authorization. If you have any questions, I would recommend reaching out to our customer support team through the contact options available on our website.

I hope this helps,

Ayesha

I made a purchase on Mercari and before I could complete the purchase I had to re-verify my paypal payment. When I did that paypal made me apply again for the pay in 4 option so I did. But now there's 3 pending authorizations on my paypal account totaling over $600! What can I do asap to get this resolved?
