There is unauthorized activity on my PayPal debit card that has a status of Pending. When I follow the procedure to file a dispute I get a page that states "We’re sorry, you can’t file a case on this type of transaction". What am I supposed to do now?

Hi there @moundtown,
Thank you for your post. I'm sorry to hear you have an unauthorized transaction on your PayPal debit card. As you mentioned the transaction was pending, you would need to wait for it to complete before filing a dispute. You can follow the steps in this Help Center article to File a Claim on a PayPal Debit Card Transaction. If you need further assistance, you can also get in touch with our customer support team by selecting Contact at the bottom of any PayPal page.
Good luck and take care!
