I've just received an update. PayPal has recovered my $9.97 (third payment) but not the second one for some reason. I've just received this email from them:

I'm still wondering why they only succeeded to recover that amount only. I left a buyer complaint on the second amount ($20) earlier than the $9.97 amount. Really strange.
