Following a iTunes purchase, a charge of $64.46 was withdrawn from my bank account by <removed> San Jose CA. I contacted my bank (that I’ve done business with for 21 years) and they explained this is a PayPal charge and to contact them and wished me luck. I’ve reached out to PayPal three times via phone and also emailed them and they said there is no record of these charges on my account. This is correct. These charges do not appear on my PayPal or iTunes account. But the money was withdrawn TWICE by PayPal from my bank account and appears on my statement.
They (whoever they are) made 10 transactions on my account to the total of approximately $400.00. The transactions don't show up on my PayPal account. But they do show up on my credit card account, which are then paid. This issue had better get resolved. I want to know who the hell is using my account/credit card.
We just had one of these hit our checking account as "POINT OF SALE DEBIT PAYPAL *NOVELTYSTRE SAN JOSE CA" in the amount of $33.59. Upon filing the dispute with my bank, I was told that it was a "Pin authorized" transaction, meaning they even got his PIN from somewhere and that it was a recurring charge. So frustrating to have to cancel his card and get a new one. Wondering where they got his info, including PIN. Thanks for this thread! It helped with the dispute!
I noticed the same thing in my bank account, I was a little panicked at first, but when I looked through my statements and correlated them with my e-mails, I believe these charges to be from ebay. For me they were, but who knows, they may be different for you. All I know is, I wasn't scammed out of anything, and all my money was accounted for.
