Paid double because of automatic payments and dire...

Hey guys,   I made a payment using automatic payment from my bankaccount. There wasn't enough money on the bank account so Paypal paid the amount and my Paypal balance went below zero. I added enough money to the bank account, thinking Paypal would try to use the bank account to get the balance back to 0. (That was what the email told me they send me.) After a few days passed I thought of using a direct deposit to add the exact amount to my Paypal balance so it would be 0 again. So I used my bank account to pay the exact amount to Paypal. After the payment went through I realised that earlier that day the exact amount already got taken from my bank account using Paypal's automatic payments. A day has passed and my Paypal balance now shows 0. But the reason it shows 0 is because of the Direct Deposit. The automatic payment did go through though, so now I paid the whole amount double. Has anyone else had this happen before, and what was the solution? It's not a small amount, so I would like it to be on my bank account again asap 🙂    Thanks in advance!   Greetings! ... View more
