I just saw the prenote transaction on my checking. The problem with saying it's a non-issue however is that account is not linked to any PayPal account. My PayPal account is linked to a completely different bank, and I did not get the notification on that account. My bank said they had that notice on several accounts and that as of now nothing has come of it. They also said it's directly linked to my checking and not a transaction on my debit card. If PayPal is doing this, then I would like to know how they accessed my bank that isn't connected to my PayPal account and why did they not test my bank account that is. None of this is good business practice and it needs to simply stop.
