PayPal Community

Hi,    I just purchased an ebook and paid via paypal.   After logging in I was informed that there had been a login from an unknown device from an unknown location yesterday, and that I should change my password as paypal wanted to check this account was mine.   I left that page and went to paypal directly just to make sure it wasnt a re-direct scam (I was buying a book from an official cisco networks partner site so would not expect it to be a scam). Going in direct took me to the same page. It was an HTTPS site so I changed my password. I have checked my activity and all seems OK.   Should I be worried???   Thanks, Paul. ... View more

Hi,   I just brought an item but the seller had the wrong email address setup (.co.uk instead of .com). The incorrect address is not registered with paypal.   I cancelled the payment. on my account overview screen if I put the cursor over where it says CANCELLED ( underlined with dotted blue line) a pop up message says "The payment was cancelled and the money returned to your bank", which is nice.   But if I click on "details" next to where it says cancelled to see the transaction details and look at the log it says there is a temporary hold placed on it ( a popup says "Paypal has put a temporary hold while we`re reviewing it.We will contact you shortly with further information")   So, who has my money. Me or paypal?   Paul   ... View more

Hi,   Short version of the story...   I brought windows 7, it was described as "from Dell, but will work with any computer", but it turns out that it can only be activated on a Dell (Shoulda done my research, but trusted the sellers description)   Paypal have decidied in my favor for a refund, but say I have to return it in original condition. It came in a sealed sleeve. Obviously I had to open it to install it, so will it be ok to send it back in the opened sleeve?   Thanks, Paul.     ... View more
