Ive searched for an answer but can't find what I'm looking for. I have sent payment to an email address accidentally with a typo. I know the email address as I've typed it doesn't actually exist so I'm not too worried there, but just wondered if I can cancel it or if it has to remained unclaimed for a time first? I don't seem to have a cancel payment option next to unclaimed. Is this because I'm using the iPhone app rather than computer web page? Thanks in advance 🙂

If there is no cancel option next to the word unclaimed then the money is returned to you automatically 30 days after paying.
