Im being charged twice for one transaction.

I booked a Trip for 1300 using PayPal. PayPal tried to get that money from my bank account but because my bankaccount balance was just updated it couldn't use it. My PayPal account then instead went 1300 into the negative since it couldnt use my bankaccount balance. I've paid the negative amount immediately but now that I've done that its attempting to charge me 1300 again on my bank account for that purchase. What do I do im not trying to pay double lol

If you have failed bank transfer then Paypal automatically keep trying to access those funds to clear your negative balance.
They have already fronted the payment to the seller on your behalf and so want the money owed.

If you sent a bank transfer to your Paypal account and Paypal also automatically applied for the funds as well then you would have 2 payments processing to your Paypal balance.
The first one to arrive will clear the negative balance and the second one will be credited as a + to your balance and you can withdraw it back to your bank account once cleared.
