My PayPal Pay in 4 Plan was charged TWICE in two consecutive days

[stingo1]

Hi!

 I just used the PayPal Pay in 4 Plan for an eBay purchase. My second payment came due yesterday and I personally paid the amount and that full amt. was summarily taken from my bank acct. Today - one day after I made that bi-weekly payment - PayPal reached into my acct. and charged me the full amt not due for another two weeks, causing my bank acct. to over-draft. How can I get this fixed quickly?

For future reference, understand that the PayPal deducts the pay in 4 repayments from your payment method automatically by default, every two weeks. It’s not necessary for you to make a manual payment. If you want to make a manual payment or pay it all off early, make the manual repayment at least 48 hrs before the regularly scheduled repayment to prevent being charged twice! With auto-payments, any reason the payment doesn't go through has the potential to have the account become Past Due. You may receive an automated phone call, reminding you of your past due balance and informing you of how you can make you payment. 

The quickest way to fix it is by adding money to your bank account to cover both payments plus the bank overdraft fees or talk to your bank about forgiving the fee.
