Double debit

I changed my card and before I updated it on paypal, I got a negative balance. So I transfered funds from my bank account to pay off the negative balance. However, I now got another debit on my account, making it a double payment. But the 1st transfer I did to my paypal has not reflected and its been over 4 days now. Does it take that long?

If you have failed bank transfer then Paypal automatically keep trying to access those funds to clear your negative balance.
They have already fronted the payment to the seller on your behalf and so want the money owed.

If you sent a bank transfer to your Paypal account and Paypal also automatically applied for the funds as well then you would have 2 payments processing to your paypal balance.
The first one to arrive will clear the negative balance and the second one will be credited as a + to your balance and you can withdraw it back to your balance once cleared.

Can take a few days (5-7 for a bank account payment) for the funds to process through to your paypal account via ACH.
