Is your transfer to
- your PP account
- another PP account holder
- a person who doesn't have a PP acccount but that you expect to create an account to claim the money?
The answer in the first case is no, you can't cancel the transfer, but you can transfer the money back to your bank account once to transfer to your PP account is complete.
The answer is the second case is probably not, with a couple of exceptions:
- A send-money payment funded with a bank account is denied for insufficient funds.
2. A send-money payment funded with a credit card is charged back by the Sender.
In both cases, PP will reverse the funds and try to recover the funds from the Receiver.
The answer in the third case is maybe. If a sender makes a send-money payment to a receiver who does not have an Account, the receiver has 30 days from the date of payment to create an account and claim the payment. Otherwise, PayPal will automatically reverse the payment to the sender's account.
Senders can cancel an unclaimed send-money payment to a receiver who does not have an Account for up to 30 days from the date of payment.
