Ever since the 2 point login started I have been glad that only I can spend my money, however in the past 5 days 6 payments of £22.85 have been taken from my account and given to SKREAM via some shopto.net, do a search on google and you will find this is very common. and when opening a case as normal I get the standard response from payapal "Thank you for reporting this case. After our review, we found that certain transactions weren't unauthorised and hence weren't eligible for Buyer Protection." How much more unothorised can it be!!!! and dont even get the chance to dispute the response. To make matters worse paypal wont let me delete my bank details as there are 3 x £22.85 about to be deducted again..
Any advise on this matter would be appreciated.

Hi @DazTheGas,
Welcome to the community and thank you for your post.
I am sorry to hear what has happened. I know this must be concerning. Based on what you have explained, it sounds like this payment was part of an automatic payment. When you make a payment with some merchants, they will sign you up for an automatic payment. This means they can charge you for their services without you having to enter your details each time. Please follow the steps here to cancel any automatic payments you don't use.
Unfortunately, we don't consider automatic payments as unauthorized. This would be why your dispute was denied. I would suggest you contact the merchant directly to request a refund. As they have charged you, they will have the option to issue a refund.
I hope this helps!
