I've had several of these now and I've no idea what's going on: I get random unsolicited $1 payments appearing in PayPal account, swiftly followed by a request for repayment because the payment weas 'unauthorised'. I rang up PayPal UK to ask what was going on because it felt like a scam of some sort but they assured me it was all some sort of admin error somewhere. But why I am getting these all the time? And why should I be expected to waste time dealing with this? The last email from PayPal said: We completed our review of the case outlined below: Sender's name: (someone I've never heard of) Sender's email: (someone I've never heard of) Your transaction ID: ===== Payment date: 29 October 2017 Payment amount: $1.00 USD Unfortunately, we are unable to reimburse you because the transaction was not covered by our Seller Protection. This case is now closed. Thank you for your patience. What the hell is going on here and why should PayPal customers be expected to waste time dealing with this?
