Do you sell on ebay, could they be your ebay fees? What does it say in your transaction history when you click on details in your paypal account.

Hi, I am having the same problem 6 deductions adding up to £23.25. Certainly not ebay fees. The amounts are exactly what my buyers are paying me.

Hi,

After reading your notice and me replying I thought I would look further into my bank account. If you go into your bank account - transactions - direct debit.   I found paypal was taking out money on a daily basis by direct debit which I have now cancelled.  What this is for I have no idea. Now the problem is letting paypal know, otherwise they will set it up again.

I also had the same problem not knowing whether it was PayPal or some other scam but either way any amount being taken out did not make any sense to me as I had no record of making a purchase online for the amount it was showing me.

 

The amount set up as direct debit was just over £40 and on the bank statement this showed up:

JPMC RE PAYPAL INTL LTD

 

The other problem is that since cancelling this direct debit my domain name registrar (the company that I registered a website with), whom I pay using PayPal, has contacted me letting me know that my bank declined to pay them. So it seems to me probably as a result of cancelling that 'particular' direct debit I am unable to use Paypal. I may be wrong but that's what it seems.

 

I'm hoping Paypal / someone can help me on this otherwise I will have to find alternative methods of payment.

Hi wm123, 

 

On reading your post I would recommend if you haven't already done so to contact us directly so we can assist you further. The reason I would recommend contact us directly is if you are not seeing the payments on your PayPal account we can run a search on your bank account and locate the payments for you and report them on your behalf. 

 

To answer your question about your cancelled direct debit, if you remove your bank account and re-add it to your PayPal account you will have the option to re-confirm and set up your direct debit agreement again. Once set up you can contact the website to reset up your agreement with them. 

 

I do hope this helps and any questions please repost

The amount just does not match any record at all. I have been in touch wih the bank and an amount of exactly: £47.83 was taken out in the 21st March 2012 and here's the strange thing; Paypal said they have NO RECORD of it and yet I have all the details printed out in front of me from my Bank.

 

I want my £47.83 back  other wise I intend to ask EVERYONE I know on Facebook, my Twitter followers and my blogging community whether they have had the same problem and if so what they have done about it and whether they see this as fair.

 

Why is there no real straight answer? You guys know my email address bceause of my account. Plesae emai me and get this sorted OR refund my money today.

Hi wm123, 

 

I think I may have already advised you in another post that we can not review your account specifically. May I suggest that if you are seeing the payment on the 21st of March that you review your account a few days previous as if it was an instant bank transfer it will show a few days previous on your PayPal account. 

 

I hope this helps
