I am new to Paypal and I accidentally "denied" vs "accepted" a payment. Is there any recourse within the Paypal system for this mistake. I have emailed the buyer who make the payment, but I have not had a response.

Go to your paypal main page and see if there's a "Pay now" button in the line where the transaction is.
If so, press it and follow the steps.

I'm the seller. The option to deny or accept was in my notification that I had received a payment. But, I didn't yet have a bank account linked to Paypal and therefore was given the option to deny payment and seek another option (apparently by check or something as Paypal didn't offer any other options). At any rate, I denied a payment to myself, and am pretty sure there is nothing I can do about it except email the buyer.
