Yesterday while I was at home, I got a message from PayPal saying I made a transaction of $59.99 to someone I never know. This money was directly pulled from my checking account linked in PayPal. I didn't authorize anything. Then I immediately filed an unauthorized activity case (PP-I-17286136) with PayPal. After 4 hours, I received an email from PayPal saying: "We've completed our review of your unauthorized activity case, and we’ve determined there was no unauthorized use." This is insane. I've been using PayPal for over 10 years and never had any money transaction with this person. And what's surprising is, PayPal can directly bypass me and withdraw money from my checking account! I highly suggest de-link all your bank accounts from PayPal. No one knows when PayPal can decide to pull money from your bank and tell you "there was no unauthorized use".
