My credit card reports charge from the above name. 13.71$ Country shown on transaction is LUX And its says its a miscellaneous apparel & acce bussiness I informed my credit card company and they are checking. I googled it and seems many people have had a similar story mentioning same "company" name. How come PayPal not investigating this seriously. Im concedering canceling my account, though no record of the above is shown on my paypal account. What is your opinion? Is someone using paypal's name to deceive people ? Does paypal security department address this? Thank you

I've been waiting for a ski accessory from Stradefarea for a coupla months; this was a present for someone; I am not happy:(

Will PayPal credit me? My search shows no ref. to Stradefarea in my recent activity:(

I added to the fraud accusation about STRADEFAREA today but guess what, within 1 hour the door bell rang and I received a package containing the item I'd ordered.  It wasn't fraud just very late!!  Jon
