Hello @Adbaxter24 and @kernowlass,
Thanks for stopping by the PayPal Community! Welcome, @Adbaxter24, and thanks for those great links, @kernowlass!
I'm sorry to hear that the full amount was taken from your checking account when you had selected Pay in 4, @Adbaxter24. As mentioned in the article, @kernowlass linked, it could have been because your Pay in 4 application was denied. However, it may have also been a temporary authorization. When making a Pay in 4 purchase, a full temporary authorization may appear on your bank account initially, and once the payment is completed, it'll be updated to just a debit for the first installment. That initial authorization should be removed soon. Most banks remove temporary authorizations within 7-10 days.
If you still see the full payment showing, please use the contact options listed above, by @kernowlass, to chat with Customer Support.
Have a lovely day!
- Meghan
