Hi everyone.
WARNING !! Always check your Paypal account(s) !!!
Just today, I have been "hit" with an unauthorized transaction at Paypal.
I have spent the entire day trying to figure out what has happened and, after having placed an online complaint at Paypal, I am told,via an email message, that I did authorize a "pre-authorized payment" but ....I really never did for that particular "vendor".
They can't help me because I am told that "I approved the transaction" and I sure did not !!!
Anyway, I will (might) be able to actually speak to someone at Paypal tomorrow (they were closed for direct contact today, Sunday) and hopefully recoup the money that has been stolen from me.
Once this is settled, I will likely cancel my Paypal account, which means that selling/buying stuff here at the Marketplace will be rather difficult because most members of Pentax Forums use Paypal for receiving payments/paying for items.
Thanks for reading.
Edited: not a PayPal fault --- but still WATCH your PayPal account regularly. Read the following posts for details.
