Hi  I thought it was possible as I have read this below    However you can cancel an uncleared eCheque: Go to Account Overview > History > Find the relevant payment > Details > Cancel Payment under ‘Cancel this eCheque payment’ > Review the information and include a message to buyer > Cancel Payment. ...

Cancelling a echeque payment

Hi    I am wondering if someone will be able to shed some light on this for me. I accidentally sent a payment as an e cheque as the card on my pay pal had expired not realising that this one was still active on my account. When I had realised this I asked the seller to cancel the payment so I could send the money from another account. He said he had done this and i transferred the funds over to him again. However the echeque payment is still showing as pending until 1st May and uncleared yet this payment has still come out of my bank account. I understand that the payment still leaves your account and is then refunded back into my pay pal but I was just wondering if there is a way  to tell that the seller has actually cancelled this? As I am abit worried if they may still receive this payment I won't get it back and it is a large amount of money.      I contacted PayPal and they were unable to advise me on this and told me to contact my bank however I am not sure there is much they will be able to do if it has already left my account?    Thank you  ...
