I just made a payment through paypal. If the money is currently unclaimed, can i somehow retrieve it before the seller completes the transaction?

This is a transaction outside of ebay and i'm not so sure i want to go ahead anymore. It was a impulse decision.
 
Paypal is not opened today, being Sunday for me. I've tried to an online cancellation and it was rejected stating i can only cancel a payment for a unregistered user. *hmpf*
 
yes, you should be able to reclaim it. there is a button where it says "cancel" or so just follow their links.

I followed the guide but there was no button under the action column as stated. Anyway seems like the seller has accepted payment now. I guess i'll just have to contact paypal tomorrow.
 
right once the seller "claims" the payment the cancel button dissappears. why not contacting your seller and ask to cancel the transaction - refund the money before they ship.
