I'm also having this problem. I just made a purchase on ebay from multiple shops in one transaction. At the checkout the combined total was around $35 I had more than enough money on my card as I had just put funds into the account I was charged the combined $35 AND the price from each individual shop. So I ended up being charged double. My paypal account has the message: "Preauthorisation $35 AUD. On 1 June 2021, $35 AUD was preauthorised for a purchase on your card xxxxx. If it isn’t completed or it’s completed for a different amount, any pending amounts will drop off your activity statements, usually within a day." I understand this sometimes happens if the payment didn't go through or was declined but there was literally $50+ on my card. 3rd time this year paypal has charged me double or overcharged. 1st time I had to contact my bank and they refunded my money because paypal couldn't help me (even though they charged me two times and kept telling me that one of them declined yet the money had still been taken from my account) 2nd time paypal fixed it by itself and my money was back in my account within a few days I will update with the result. I'm sure paypal will refund this but it's extremely annoying and incompetent for such a large company.
