I called them up and explained what happened, and they changed it to "Item not Received". Now I have to wait for an item I never ordered and decline the delivery from DHL. For something I did not buy, this is a completely ridiculous imposition by Paypal. I asked them to show me the IP address that the transaction was completed from and they do not even bother. They claim that they would do that for an unauthorized transaction which I initially submitted. However they also said they would not show me the information! If they can prove that I did the order from my IP address shouldn't they have told me that? This company has and "F" rating from the BBB with hundreds and hundreds of complaints, just like on this community forum. For the life of me, I do not understand how Paypal continues to let them operate. They perpetuated a FRAUD upon me with impunity because they know Paypal will make it really difficult for their VICTIMS! @joes_myth wrote: In my case, Storm Media Scammers forced thru a transaction based on an abandoned shopping cart.

They perpetuated a FRAUD upon me with impunity because they know Paypal will make it really difficult for their VICTIMS! I saw the comments about doing a chargeback. Some time back I was able to do this, however this time around I ran into complications. I can do a chargeback based on fraud or unauthorized access but the credit card company will lock down the card and send a new one. This messes up a lot of linked accounts etc and I do not want to go down that road. I can also say I am unhappy with the transaction, however, I have to agree that I did purchase the item which I do not want to do on principle. Does anyone know what could work with the VISA?
