I have this exact same issue and the help article is next to useless. It refers to goods being shipped that triggers the duplicated payment to be cancelled. In my case I paid for goods with a local merchant and then collected and TWO DAYS later there is STILL a duplicated payment on my bank account.
If this were a small amount it would not matter as much (although it's still poor practice) but for large amounts, THESE ARE NOTICIBLE DEDUCTIONS!
Paypal is a bit of a joke, I thought pay in 3 would be a nice easy way to buy something a little more expensive but it's nothing but hassle.

Hi @DJNikon,
Thank you for your post!
I am sorry to hear about your negative experience. I do understand your frustration. When you attempt to make a payment, the amount can be temporarily charged to your bank/card. This is an authorization charge.
As you have received your purchase, the merchant will only complete one order. Therefore, the other temporary charge will be removed from your bank within 72 hours. This is normal practice for online payments, so no need to be worried if this happens again.
I hope this helps!
