Weird Paypal Activity

by ViceHero in About Protections

 So I received my credit card statement today only to discover that there were two purchases made to a website using Paypal. I didn't remember making these purchases because the card in question has only ever been used to purchase things on Amazon. The weirder part though is I checked my Paypal and there was zero activity on it. I called the number provided though my Credit Company to see if it would be handled but all the information I gave the automated service said there was no activity on my account. I instantly disputed the two charges after checking my Paypal several times to be sure.    Two hours ago I discovered three emails from the website the purchases were made though in my spam. One was a basic " Welcome to the site" email and the other two were purchase receipts with my name and address and the order number on them. I contacted the seller  after finding them and have been trying to figure it out with them ever since. They claim the purchase on my card cannot be from their site if I don't have a paypal email verifying. But I have their name on my statement for $309 and two emails saying the purchases were made. We've been going back and forth for the past hour. They asked me the order number and my name. Gave it and they have it on record but the paypal was closed.   How am I even supposed to handle this? I have an open dispute with my credit company but I'm at a lose with paypal and this store since I didn't have access or know about the order until this evening. ... View more
