I'm glad to see that other people are having the same problem (although it sucks that PayPal is refusing to do anything about it). I had a series of charges authorized through Samsung Pay to Despegar.com and Univ Tec Milenio to the order of $0.52 and $156.60, respectively. I talked to both Samsung and Paypal and they gave me the same run around that it sounds like everyone else has gotten. Samsung is just the middle-man (oh and that their service is extremely secure and a hacker is very unlikely to have hacked the Samsung Pay accounts) and Paypal can't do anything about it because Samsung Pay authorized the charge. I eventually filed a claim with my bank to refund me the money that was automatically withdrawn from my account. Now Paypal is counting that as a negative balance. I will see about talking with them on Monday to hopefully get that removed. Not holding my breath though.
