@StephieS123  It was only taken out from the one that was actually used to make the purchase. The inactive one never did anything. My only guess here is that with yours the actual payment (the one you took up with whoever the store or merchant was)  actually went through twice and so Pay in 4's also going through twice,  in which case you'd need to contact the store and ask about that.   When I asked xFrog about the double-charge, they checked and said their records only showed one charge going through. Sure enough, PayPal's Activity tab shows the same thing:  One xFrog charge, and only one active Pay in 4 plan while the other's sitting there waiting for an authorization that never ends up happening.   From what I understand, the Pay in 4 plans only become active once the payment they're there for actually goes through - so the duplicate one with my example just expires on its own since the actual purchase I was making only went through once. ...

@StephieS123  The charge showed up twice, but only one of the two actually showed up on my Pay in 4 plan.  The other one just timed out and failed since it never officially went through with the payment I was making on the store. ... View more

Addendum:  It came up twice yes, but since only one of them actually ended up being used for the purchase I was making, the second duplicate will just sits there until it times out and fails.  ... View more
