Unauthorized Charge made from Paddle.com - Filed a dispute and it was denied??

I received an unauthorized charge on my account the other day for $199.99. It came from Paddle.com and was for some software called CleanMyMac X (which I never purchased). I filed a dispute saying it was an unauthorized charge. It was denied in less than 24 hours stating that it "was not an unauthorized charge." What the heck? It absolutely was unauthorized and now I have no other way of contacting Paypal. I've also contacted the merchants with no luck. Id like to get my $200 back, please! Thanks.

We were confused by a similar charge of $79.99 to paddle.com and figured out it was for PDF Expert which was a renewal.  You might want to think back to ordering some other kind of software that was just billed through paddle.com.

It happened the same to me! They charged me 39,95 € and didn’t know anything about this company. Clearly is a fraud and PAYPAL IS NOT HELPING! THey say it was an authorised payment and I never pay anything from this company... it’s so frustrating We have to take legal action! what did you do?

Filed a dispute for unauthorized charge from Paddle.com. Paypal denied it. Checked my automatic payments under settings, Paddle.com was not listed. This is just a big scam.

Paddle is a payment processor (Merchant of Record) of behalf of any software/service you might have subscribed to. Basically they handle payment on behalf of the software/service, there might be additional info on the Paddle receipt or you can visit paddle.net to hep check who / which company has charged you via paddle.
