Thanks for all the help guys!

 I was able to cancel the child transaction by increasing the fee of the parent to higher than the sum of both transactions' fees. So now it's just the first transaction that's waiting on confirmation. It hopefully won't take more than a few hours.

This worked. I had to indeed increase the fee to exceed the sum of both fees. This has now cancelled the Child transaction and now I assume I have to wait for the first transaction to confirm. It's sitting at 50.2 sat/vb, which should be enough I hope.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to cryptocurrency, but thus far I've had no issues doing small transactions using my electrum wallet.
Recently however something seems to  have gone wrong. I made 2 transactions in a short timeframe without waiting for the first one to be confirmed. This made me spent unconfirmed coins and from my understanding the second transaction (child) can't be confirmed until the parent has been confirmed first. This shouldn't be an issue normally, but this is where the problem comes in.

The parent transaction has not been confirmed, however I've actually received the product that I've payed for, is this possible?
I've waited 48 hours to see if it would confirm, but nothing changed. I've tried to increase the fee multiple times to no avail. I'm not able to cancel the transaction either. I keep getting this message :

The server returned an error when broadcasting the transaction.
Consider trying to connect to a different server, or updating Electrum.

insufficient fee
Your transaction is trying to replace another one in the mempool but it does not meet the rules to do so. Try to increase the fee.
