Bank Transfer gone wrong

[unspecifieds]

Hi, I recently bought an item from ebay, I didn't have enough in my paypal account so the rest was paid from my bank account, or so I thought. It said instant transfer. Now I know these things take a few days to clear, so I checked back yesterday and found an entry from the day before that said paypal direct debit, so far so good, then one a couple of entries later, for the same day, I find the money being put back with UNP (unpaid) in the description. This is the account ebay transfers money into when I sell, I'm not sure of the problem. Does anybody know why the money would be put back like that and what I should do next? Can and should I change my settings so money is taken instead form my debit card? Thanks

Do you have a back up card linked to your paypal account as well.

Yes, I have a debit card linked

Sounds odd then, if you had enough funds in your bank account then it should have gone through ok.

You haven't accidentally cancelled the direct debit mandate between your bank and paypal on your online banking list of direct debits have you?

No, in fact I didn't bother to go to my account until 4 days after, that's when I noticed it had gone wrong.

Just checked my account again, and this time the balance is correct, but the debit is not showing at the moment. The last entry is still the Unpaid/ paypal money repayment. I just hope they get it right, and don't debit me more than once or something like that.
