The other day I tried to buy something off of eBay. It was a reputable seller with 20,000 positive ratings. I got a PayPal account that day just to make sure that I would be secure when buying it. When I went to check out, I logged in to PayPal and selected my payment method but it didn't change the screen or do anything. I figured it just didn't work so I tried it again. It didn't work again. Later I checked my bank account and had 3 pending charges from PayPal. The weird thing is that I checked my PayPal and there is no history of any charges so, as far as I'm concerned, I am unable to make a claim or dispute the charge because every time I try that, it takes me back to my account history. The item I tried to purchase was fairly expensive ($800) and I would really not like to be charged for it three times... I tried calling eBay and they did not find any purchase history either so I think it was either a scam or a PayPal glitch. I also tried calling PayPal customer service the next day during their hours but I only got irrelevant questions from a robot and when they were going to transfer me to a real person the call didn't go through. I need help!
