Hi guys, I hope you can help - I have just made a purchase for pay pal pay in 3. I was charged initially £18 as a temporary authorization immediately as soon as the payment was agreed, however the plan was saying that my first payment was due today also. I have now paid the first installment, but the £18 charge is also still pending. I have used PayPal pay in 3 before and not had this issue. Does anyone know when or how this temporary authorization charge gets returned to me? Many thanks
