So I was about to buy 50 silk and this message pops up, after i already logged on and clicked to pay the money

I go to my bank account status and i see 5$ have been taken.. I log on to paypal again and it offers me to finish the payment (the click the pay 5$ blabla). Anyone else got this problem? I dont know if I should try buying silk again with paypal and end up getting scammed like this, if you can call it a scam. What should I do in this situation? :s

Nah I got more than enough.. I'm just wondering if I should try to buy again.. I don't wanna throw more money away. And the bank says the card is fine.. so it doesn't make any sense

Try ringing your your bank or whatever. See if there was a blockage on your card. My card got blocked when I hired 3 bikes in Paris, three bikes at 300 euro each, my card thought my card was stolen and therefore blocked it.

Oh right.. but if they blocked it why did paypal take my money and I didnt get any silk + paypal offered me to pay it again
But I'll check anyway

I've gotten this before too. I then had to confirm my location and confirm a bank account.

I got that message too, retried one day later and everything was ok. I think my wifi DC'd during the transaction and that this message shows up when the link is broken.
