Possibly charged twice for Gold membership.

[ilbruche]

On 6/22 I purchased a Gold membership. At first I tried using my Paypal Mastercard debit card number but I got an "invalid address" message from the secure card processor. So I just used my bank Visa debit card and it worked fine. I got the confirmation email saying that my Visa was charged for the membership.

Checking my Paypal account there is a pending transaction from One Stop Knife Shop for $25. I was just wondering if this pending transaction will just go away or if there is any action I need to take. Since I never got a confirmation email regarding my attempt to use the Paypal Mastercard I assume it will go away but I just wanted to check.

Thanks.

PM me if you need more info.

It's pending because of the attempt, but since the sale failed, the money will not be taken. This is called an "authorization hold" - your bank will release the funds sooner or later.

Cool, thanks. That is what I thought.
