I ordered an item, but the site I had ordered on had given me an error. So I tried again. Same error. Tried one last time, and it gave me the same error. I check my PayPal account, and now it says I have 3 preauthorizations, that amount to nearly every dollar in my account. Is there any way to cancel this?

When you pay a company then it is often pending or awaiting authorisation until that company processes your order and captures the pending payment.
If they don't process the order and capture that payment then the pending status times out at 30 days post-payment and returns back to your funding source.
If the company can 'void' the payments for you then you may get the funds released more quickly.
I would contact them to check and also to say you don't want all x3 payments 'captured'.
