Argos pay in 3

[HoneyGee]

Just used the PayPal pay in 3 option, to Argos. £216.33 has left my bank, it shows paid to somewhere, but transaction code doesn't say Argos. Have I missed a trick or something. The item is still sat in my Argos basket, and wanting me to complete purchase, dare not press again for either whole amount £649.00 going or another £216.33. Anybody else with same problem?

Hello @HoneyGee, 

Welcome to the PayPal Community! 

I'm sorry to hear your Pay in 3 transaction has not been completed successfully. It sounds like an authorisation, or a pending hold, was placed on the first purchase. However, since the actual transaction didn't initiate correctly, the authorisation should be released in around 72 hours. If it's not a time-sensitive purchase, I recommend waiting until the authorisation is released before attempting another purchase. You can learn more about pending authorisations on the PayPal Help Centre here. 

If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to Customer Support. 

I hope you have a lovely week, and that your authorisation releases soon!
