Unauthorised transaction denied

Paypal denied my claim for an unauthorised transaction on my account for £812 to a fashion company using my name but a shipping address in London.  I immediately contacted my bank who referred me to Paypal - they opened a case and denied the claim saying it wasn't unauthorised.  I've spend countless hours on the phone to them this week to be told finally yesterday that I would be refunded but only to get an email today saying my claim was denied!!! I cannot afford just to have £812 pounds stolen from me.  What are Paypal playing at???   I feel sick to my stomach.

Same thing happened to me.  I got the same response. If I authorized the transaction why would I open a claim?

I cannot find the number for Paypal UK. I had an unauthorised transaction from my account and PayPal has just told me that it wasn't unauthorised. How can they not see if someone with a completely different name and address has used my account, this is ridiculous!! Please advise

I have had the same problem, but luckily only for £12.99. Was it PrettyLittleThing to a lady called Chenelle?

PayPal denied my unauthorised payments claim from a few days ago. Two payments of £13 and 11 went out that I know nothing about. The shipping address is in London.

I feel for you. I too had a similar situation and they sided with Mercari a scammy marketplace company. My son used my PayPal and bought a damaged Playstation 4 and canceled immediately. The seller insisted he shipped when I know that he didn’t bc it was like 1 mine the later he canceled. I then find out and went into the help and canceled from there and they accepted the canceled order. I then go into my PP and the sale is completed! I sent several texts to pp to resolve this as unauthorized and they did open a case and took Mercaris word that I was still an ongoing customer! They sided with Mercari and now I’m getting an old broken ps4:( and Mercari won’t accept returns unless item isn’t as described. This is so frustrating and you can’t talk to anyone bc of this coronavirus. I’m out $230.00Usd I also reported this to the bbb. Oh and as a courtesy pp gave me Mercaris number that I’ve tried to reach over and over again to know avail. I’m through with pp I’ll use my credit card or Apple Pay.

I just had this happen to me!!! Had my name & hackers address. There was 3 packages & 2 was stopped but 1 was delivered. $1100 from a tool company. I finally got refund from other 2 packages. Since 1 was delivered I reported it to the police & gave address where it was delivered but I haven't heard anything... makes me sick!!! $1100 is a lot of money to loose.
