PayPal sent the right amount to a family member, but never deducted that amount from my bank account

I recently transferred a sum of money to a family member who received it just fine. Although, I sent it from the wrong account that did not have any money in it yet by mistake. PayPal does state on the transfer log that the money was sent through my bank account that had no funds in it, but below that it also says, 'backup account' and then an account that does have the funds in it to complete the transfer. The account with the funds in it is listed as the 'backup account', however PayPal has not deducted the sum of money from either account (the account with nothing in it, and the 'backup account') on my mobile banking app.

 

What do I do? My account and the family member's account can both access two 'clones' of money because I haven't been charged for the sent amount yet after a few days.

Allow a week for the echeque to transfer or fail and then for your balance to go into negative and paypal try your backup funding source.
