Hello,
I accidentally bought something with my PayPal despite having no balance in it.
I meant to purchase with my bank account, but apparently, I wasn’t aware that my PayPal was set to “preferred way to purchase”.
What do I do? Will my bank account be charged instead (connected to my PayPal)?

Hi @jinkoop
Welcome to the PayPal Community! I understand your concern regarding the payment that has been sent from your PayPal account. If you have made the payment using your PayPal account then the money will be pulled up from your linked bank or card account. You can view the transaction details in your account under the Recent Activity.
I hope the provided information is helpful to you.
Ameen
