Hello @awni123,
Thank you for visiting the Community Help Forum!
I understand your concern about the preauthorized charge in your PayPal account. When you attempt a payment, the amount will be charged temporarily to your bank/card and the same will be in pending status in your PayPal account, As the payment wasn't completed, any temporary hold on your bank/card will be released in few days and the pending charge will get dropped too. You can learn more about pending authorizations here : What’s an “authorization” and can I cancel it
You can contact the merchant to cancel the pending authorization and you can see the seller’s contact details in the activity page by clicking on the pending transaction. If the seller is not able to cancel it, the authorizations will get voided automatically in 30 days.
Hope this information helps,
Bindu
