UPS payment hold question

Hi, I have a question about a UPS shipping label I created with Paypal. I originally created a lable and the $17 charge was put on hold. I realized that I made a mistake with that label, so I voided it and printed off another label and another $17 charge was put on hold. Yesterday the original $17 charge expired and the money was placed back into my account. Now today the other $17 charge expired and was also put back into my account. When I click for more details, the status says "cancelled transfer". Why was this money put back in my account when I used the shipping label? The package is already in Canada, so please don't tell me UPS is going to void the package and send it back to me. I mean seriously, the package is less than 30 minutes away from it's destination.

Hi Dally03,
Welcome to the forums!
If the label was used, UPS will be able to charge the funds based on the original authorization. The package should be delivered and the amount charged to your account. I hope this helps!

UPS supposedly expires after 5 days so it goes bcak into your Paypal account, Then whenever UPS gets around to requesting the money it will come back out! Watch out! Your account balance will be overinflated from this "Creative accounting" by PayPal! being an accountant , the only reason to do this(they are THE only company in the world that does this) is to create confusion making it impossible to double check for mistakes! But they DO make them!!
