Happened to me as well, I had to wait 30 minutes after calling PayPal to have somebody call me back. The agent didn't seem to know anything about it. They told me if you were linking a bank account in Paypal, they do a debit but not for $0.00, it would be for a penny or a few pennies. Beyond that, no real help. My paypal account has two-factor, and I have no transactions (honestly almost never use it), so I'm fairly positive this isn't related to somebody getting into my pesonal Paypal account. Contacted my bank, they definitely seemed more concerned. If Paypal and/or Venmo decided to reconfirm some checking accounts with a $0.00 debit, would really be nice to let us know so we don't freak out. If it wasn't them, then it seems like it must be a scam.
