Hope whoever is reading this is doing well. I am currently having an issue I have no idea how to solve. Instead of withdrawing my PayPal balance to my bank account, I accidentally ADDED money instead. My bank account didn’t have enough money so I went into an unauthorised overdraft. This money didn’t actually existed so now My bank balance is negative and I don’t know what to do. I messaged PayPal multiple times with proof using screenshots of all the transfers made on PayPal and my Halifax account but all they do is respond with automated messages, no humans at all. I’ve already contacted Halifax and they responded saying that I need to ask PayPal for a refund. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

If the payment was not declined and your bank allowed it to go through and give you an overdraft then the funds should show up on your paypal account balance.
May take a few days to go through though.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Hey, thanks for responding. So even though my Halifax account has shown that the money has been taken out, it will still take some time to show up in my PayPal balance?
