Hello @Flavia92,

Welcome to our community forum and thank you for your post!

I do understand your concern about your funds. When making a purchase with Pay in 3, we will conduct a pre-authorization hold on your specified card  and this will show as a pending authorization within your PayPal Account Activity as well as in your card. Once you complete your purchase with Pay in 3 and the merchant ships your goods, the pending authorization will be removed and the initial down payment will be withdrawn from your specified debit or credit card. 

You can learn more abut the Pay in 3 authorizations here.

I hope this information helps, have a great day!
