"If you see a charge on your card or bank statement for a digital purchase on Google Play that you didn't make, you can report the charges to our support team within 120 days of the transaction."

 

You see PayPal because the app or site uses PayPal to process payments but the unauthorized transaction occurred while linked to Google Play account so contact them. GP will contact PayPal in the course of their investigation.

 

 


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Hello @baronjamaa , We are sorry to hear about what happened but I have good news for you! You can report this transaction as a unauthorized charge so that our account specialist can investigate what happened or you can file a dispute for a non receipt. Just click the transaction , click report a problem or go to resolution center to file for a dispute.

They are stipulating you can only return items by UPS and DHL which is as expensive as the products you have purchased.   They sent by post but make you use a service which is too expensive.

 

DON'T BUY FROM THEM THEIR PRODUCTS ARE NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE
