Money charged of Debit card after balance going red and pending top up

[JanaDV]

Hi!

I had a payment that needed to happen, but I got a message from PayPal saying there wasn't enough money on my debit card ( there was though ). So my wallet balance went red. I then added a top up, to pay PayPal back.

The top up hasn't happened yet and my account is still in red, but they did manage to take the amount from my bank account now. 

To explain in numbers: 

I had to pay 92 euro for takeaway. Got the message it couldn't be taken from my debit card -> PayPal wallet went to -92 euro.
I then put in a top up request. So that 92 euro went off my debit card and is pending on PayPal.

After I did that, PayPal still charged the 92 euro from my debit card, but my balance is still on -92.

So I have lost 184 euro now from my debit card.

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.
