I just recently got myself a credit card (RBC Cash Back MasterCard) and decided to add the credit card to my PayPal account. When I entered the billing address for the credit card, I received an e-mail saying that PayPal was unable to add the card to my PayPal account. I read the e-mail and figured it was because I was using the address for my hometown (I moved to a different city for school) so I re-entered my new address (the city I moved to was where I had applied to get my credit card) and it was successful. When I logged into my online banking account with RBC and checked my credit card balance, I had 4 transactions listed under "Authorized Transactions" all for $1.03. Two of them are listed as "Pending Debits" and the other 2 are listed as "Pending Credits". They're all posted for the same date as when I had added my credit card to my PayPal account and they all have the same description: PAYPAL 4029357733 - Foreign Currency. I find this odd because I never even made a single purchase using my credit card through PayPal, I merely just added the card to my account, and now my bank account is telling me there's 4 transactions I've supposedly made on my card through PayPal. If anyone has any idea what is going on with my situation, it would be very much appreciated.
