How do I identify a Paypal Direct Debit?

Hi, I appreciate there are a few similar topics on here about this but I can't find anything specific enough to my problem.   It really frustrates me that PP promote their service as being better than paying with you debit card directly, for safety, but when the PP direct debit comes up there is no identifying words on it to know what it was for.  I use the account for both personal and business related expenses and I am currently doing my books and have several small and large paypal direct debits that I can not identify.  I have searched my emails and paypal.  I read someone that you can search for a specific transaction and i know how to do that but you can't search for an amount, unless you jhust do Control F...I cant see how you can do this using a PP search tool.   I have looked on ebay to see if i made purchases on there, that were a DD not from Paypal funds and i can not see anything there either.  I am sure i did buy things...i do regularly use paypal to buy thiings external from ebay but i cant figure out what the amounts are for!!   How do I work this out, do paypal direct debits, from websites ( not ebay) still show in your paypal account and if so where???  I can only see "payments sent" but its not showing there either.   PLEASE HELP!!   Thank you   Xenia -ps if after i receive help I can not see them how do a dispute a Paypal direct debit which would then force them to identify the transactions for me?? ...

Hi, that worked for a little bit but has now stopped working.  We haven't made any changes to our virus/spam blocker and have been doing this for a few years now.  So its a Paypal payment to Hotmail that is then forwarded to a ntlworld.com email address. I found some mention that there may be something in the email that makes it non-forwardable so that the recipient knows it is really from paypal (therefore making my forwarded email look like a fake and so the recipients email rejects it)....but this has never been a problem before? ...

Can anyone help?  When I get a payment received notification email from Paypal I forward it to another email address (the packer of the goods I sell so he knows what he can pack now).    But since this year has started he isnt receiving the forwarded emails. The forwarded item is in my sent box but the recipent never receives it.  This is a specific issue for payment notifications as other emails to the address are arriving ok still.   Any ideas??   Thanks.   Xenia. ...

Hi, I have a persistent buyer from ebay who persistently pays (6th time now) for items that are no longer available.  After the 4th time I stopped messaging him and now I just refund him every time he pays. He's doing it to annoy me and ebay are monitoring his activity. How can I block his email address on paypal so I dont have to keep refunding him as this is getting out of hand now. ... View more
