Scam

[Leadbetter24]

I recently bought something from depop, and the money has been taken from my account. I've recieved an email with both the transaction ID and the Receipt number, however the transaction isn't showing in my paypal acount? Have i been scammed?

She said it's been posted but it's been over 10 days and starting to worry now as she isn't too far from me and doesn't usually take this long.

Did you pay via paypal as a guest buyer ie via paypal but without logging in via a card??

I think it was without logging in but via card, and was a credit card too so does this help wth protection?

All it means if you paid as a guest buyer is that you can still open a dispute BUT you have to contact customer services and they will open a claim for you immediately.

>>>

Click on the words "Contact" at the bottom of your paypal account summary page and use the phone option (if there is one in the country you are in) > click on the "call us" option on the left (fees "may" apply so check the cost with your phone tariff first, as you sometimes have to wait a while to connect).

When you get through don't select any options just hang on till you get transfered to an agent or say the word "agent".
