I had a very similar issue. I tried to make a payment on Friday through paypal. I had adequate funds. However there was no confirmation of payments going through. Therefore I made the required payment with a credit card instead. You can imagine my surprise when I saw that paypal had withheld the payments 3 times from my bank funds.
