I have a charge for £6.99 on my Credit card - one I never use for Paypal - that states "PAYPAL *AVANTGARDED".  Does anyone know who / what this is?  thanks

If you bought something online with a debit or credit card and did NOT log into your paypal account then of course it won't show on your paypal account as you bought as a 'guest buyer'.
However your seller may have processed that payment using their Paypal 'card reader' and so Paypal would show on your bank or card statement.

Thanks.  It's a joint credit card not hooked up to my PayPal so it's odd to see "PAYPAL *AVANTGARDED" on the credit card statement.  I've googled "AVANTGARDED" and they are a data / security company who I've not purchased from...

File dispute on it as unauthorized charge with your card issuer.

You don't have to have a paypal account to pay as a guest buyer, you just use a credit or debit card and the seller ''processes'' that transaction via their paypal card reader.

I doubt anyone would bother to hack your account or card to buy something of that low amount, far more likely to have been a card purchase with a seller.
