I sent my friend money through the family and friends option on paypal. However, I accidentially selected my linked bank account instead of my paypal balance. I wanted it to be an instant money transfer, and the payment sent from the bank takes multiple days to process and go through. I told him to cancel the payment, and I just resent the amount through my paypal balance with no problems.   However, it has been since August 24th since the payment (sent as an echeck from my bank account) has been cancelled and it has not been deposited back into my back account, paypal balance, or even my friend's paypal balance(On my paypal activity it even says "Canceled - Money Sent").   So, as far as I know, Paypal has lost the $15. Will customer support be able to help me with this? Or should I go to the resolution center? (I would prefer not to wait 2 hours on callback just so I can talk with a paypal agent and them refer me to the resolution center). Thanks ... View more
