Same situation here. I vaguely recall this happening previously. While I understand the need for a hold those of us who choose pay in four do it so we can pay slowly. One is not notified of this at check out by PP or merchant. I only discovered it when I was reviewing the receipt. Only three dod I get notification that I was charged the full amount. The only time I have had this happen was close to twenty years ago during a gas crisis I had three times the amount put on hold. Now because of this my accounting was off, I had two items elsewhere get rejected. I could have chosen another pay on 4 company for this purchase, one that doesn't pull more than the initial payment but I chose PP bc I they have come through in a few disputes PayPal, please alert consumers that this is sort of like a charge card vs tris pay in 4 layaway situation for certain categories. I have a nice line of available credit I built up so I could make some large purchases. I still chose a lesser item that I knew would not cause me stress to pay off, and here I am o should have just paid a regular payment

I was looking around the app.at different features. I saw under request a name of a business I do not recognize Hongkong Dream Limited.t recognize..FWIW I have not imported my contacts. I did a Google search and saw many other posts on the community about fraudulent charges from the company, but from 2022. I blocked the company. Hongkong Dream Limited . I see other complaints on here about them. They are per my search a seller of hair devices. The only hair tool I have purchased was over ten years ago at Walmart. I am pretty particular about how/where I spend. I can't seem to go back too far. I don't know if because I blocked them I can't search. I did get brushed .. unwanted packages from Amazon for several years and it stopped during lockdown. Prior to that I got brushed at my old residence. I'm at a loss. I just want to ensure these people have not charged me and what I can to to make sure this doesn't happen again

In order for me to to the PayPal Pay in 4 does the retailer have to specify that on the site like other companies that let you buy now pay later, or as long as they have PayPal as a payment option one can do it. I have done one purchase as such, but for the life of me I can't remember how I got to where I was able to check out that way. I must note I don't have the PP app downloaded, and generally shop on my computer.

I contacted the pre-paid dept and they told me to contact paypal to rectify this, but they are currently closed for the day. I purchased a pre-paid PayPal Mastercard and want to link to my PayPal. When I go through the process I get the prompt that I already have a card associated with my account. I know in the past I have ordered cash cards from PayPal, but I have not activated them, and that I think is the issue. I think I may have used one at one point, but it has been a long time ago. I don't know how or where to close these accounts, or at least where I can see them within the PayPal dashboard. If someone can direct me to where I can see this information, that would be extremely helpful. Thank you.
