I was recently scammed through Ebay. I paid with my debit card, which was linked to my paypal account. The seller informed me that the item was no longer in stock, and a refund would be issued. The refund was approved. However, the seller then used their paypal account to make an unauthorized withdrawal on my debit card and basically took my refund away. The issue is, no record of this refund or withdrawal shows up on my paypal account. Only on my bank account. I see the refund deposited, then immediately after, I see the unauthorized withdrawal. Ebay said that since the refund was approved, there's nothing they could do, and that I should contact Paypal as well as my bank. Made several attempts to message Paypal. All unanswered. I can't make an unauthorized transaction report because, as I previously stated, Paypal has no record of the refund or transaction on my account.
