This morning I got notification of a payment gone out of my PayPal and i was shocked to see because I didnt made that payment. Not long after, perhaps few seconds another transaction, same amount, same account... another £18.85 gone,... all in all in no time 5 transactions of £18.85 from seller; 

SKREAM Limited

I was looking at the ways to freeze my account but couldn't find anything and in the end i removed my bank card etc, i couldn't remove last one as it has to be one card there. 

I DIDNT DO THIS TRANSACTION - so i raised concern about this transaction and reported as unauthorised transaction. And guess what i got from PayPal - 

 

Thank you for reporting this case.  After reviewing your case, we found that the reported transactions were not unauthorised and therefore aren't eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection.  We've noted the account changes you reported with this case.  

 

This is awful, what can i do from here, i can see notifications saying:

 

Preauthorization £18.85 GBP On 25 January 2021, £18.85 GBP was preauthorized for a purchase on your card xx-<removed>. If it isn’t completed or it’s completed for a different amount, any pending amounts will drop off, usually within a day. I DIDNT DO THIS TRANSACTION, how I can escalate this further? this is very bad and I am very upset about paypal. God knows what is done here and PayPal response is disgusting!

@kernowlass thank you for your reply. I did check that after reading few posts however checked again its automatic payment I believe you meant. There is nothing like this on that tab which is like the payment took from my account. SKREAM looks like have similar reviews on google. Sad thing about this is that paypal acted weird and just said it not unauthorized. Shame... also there is no way to contact them. They just ignored the request.

This cant get better. Now I have noticed that PayPal detected money from my Credit card which I never registered to my paypal account. This credit card was never registered to my PayPal account. I never registered any of my credit card with my paypal account ever. I have had a debit card registered of same bank registered with paypal but never credit card. This is so u fair of PayPal and they declined the case saying it is not unauthorized... that's awful... any help please....
