I have a small “PayPal Payment” debited from my bank account with no other detail available. It doesn’t appear in my PayPal transactions so is it a scam?

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 that Paypal account because 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.

Ah OK thanks, I vaguely remember buying something as a guest, will have to put my thinking cap on.
