Hello @lastuniquename,
Thank you for visiting the PayPal Community Help Forum!
I understand your concern about the pending transaction for a canceled purchase in your PayPal account. No need to worry! When you attempt to make a payment, the amount can be temporarily authorized and will be in pending status until merchant capture's the payment. As the purchase didn't go through, the pending authorization will get dropped in few days. I suggest you to wait few more days. You can also visit this article to know more about pending authorizations.
Hope this information helps,
Bindu
