When I logged in tonight my account was in the negative. It says due to a recent transaction I needed to pay the balance, but I cannot see what the transaction was to make it go in to the negative. I have paid it now, but not sure why it was in the minus in the first place and I am worried I paid money and I shouldnt have.

Hey @Lisavv,
Thank you for posting in the PayPal Community!
I am sorry to hear you have had an issue with a negative PayPal balance.
There are a few different reasons why you can experience a negative balance:
- If you had a case/chargeback opened against a recent sale.
- If you have experienced a failed instant transfer or direct debit.
You should have the option to view this in the Activity section of your PayPal account. Keep a lookout for any failed transfers or transactions. Any cases will be visible on your PayPal Resolution Center.
Thank you for resolving your negative balance, I appreciate your cooperation.
I hope this helped. Have a nice day!
Rebecca.
