How to cancel or void a Paypal payment

PayPal It is the favorite electronic payment method of many people, and with so many transactions, it is normal that there are some errors or that you simply want cancel or void a Paypal payment due to a problem with the seller. Although in principle it is not possible, there are some cases in which it is allowed to recover our money no need to open a dispute on said platform.

Cancel an unclaimed payment

In this case, the seller has not yet received the payment, which can be due to two reasons:

  • Use an unvalidated email account. Paypal as a security measure, asks to use an account without limits, confirm both the mail and the card associated with said account. In the event that one of these two things is missing, although it is possible to open the account, the money cannot be received in it.
  • The email associated with Paypal does not exist. This is the most extreme case, since either the email has been misspelled, or the person does not have it associated with their Paypal yet. At the time you do, you would receive the money, but right now, you could claim the full amount.
