Hey there, All you need to do is email us with the transaction ID and state that you need to open a dispute for 'Non-Receipt' on a one time use account. They can then manually file the claim for you.
Debit card: your refund will go to your debit card. It may take up to 30 days for the refund amount to appear on your card statement. If the refund can't be applied to your debit card, it'll be sent to your PayPal account.
How do I report potential fraud like unauthorised activities or fake emails to PayPal?
- Go to Resolution Centre.
- Click Report a Problem.
- Select the transaction ID you want to dispute and click Continue.
- Select "I want to report unauthorised activity".
- Follow the instructions to report the issue.
If you don't have a balance or money waiting to be accepted, the entire refund will be issued from the primary bank account linked to your PayPal account. Depending on your bank's processing time, it may take up to 5 business days to process your refund even if the refund status shows "Complete" in your PayPal account.
If the seller does not agree to refund your money, you may be able to open a dispute. For purchases made with your credit or debit card, the refund can take up to 30 days to show up on your account. If you bought the item using your bank account or PayPal balance, the balance will be credited to your PayPal account.
It's only when the merchant doesn't make with the refund that you should bring in the big guns and call up the issuing bank. (Your issuer should have clear instructions for formally disputing a charge, with options including a phone call, written letter or online form.)
If someone refuses to give a refund, but you feel you're entitled to one, you can open a dispute if you didn't receive your item yet or you received something that doesn't match the seller's description. (You may open a dispute within 180 days of payment. Click on the payment in your Activity to see the details.)
No they can't ever touch or take money from your bank account without authorisation and yes if you sell and money comes into your account they will keep that to pay off your neg balance.

How to identify real PayPal emails

- Address you by your first and last names, or your business name.
Know what to look for

According to its website, PayPal is the more secure way to shop online because the seller never sees your credit card number. When you open your PayPal account, you can link it directly to your bank account or to a debit or credit card. The data is encrypted for extra protection against fraud and identity theft.
In general, PayPal appears safe for buyers, as the site platform is both secure and encrypted. PayPal takes its platform security so seriously that it offers financial rewards to computer security experts who discover any breaches, flaws and vulnerabilities in PayPal's digital data defense system.
PayPal uses extensive security measures to safeguard your bank account or credit card numbers. We never reveal your financial information to anyone unless we have your permission or we are required by law to do so. In addition, PayPal provides 100% protection against unauthorized payments sent from your account.
You can usually cancel a PayPal payment that is in a pending or unclaimed status. These payments will have a status of “Unclaimed” and will show in the “Pending” section of your PayPal account. If the payment is completed, you won't be able to cancel it. You'll need to contact the recipient/seller and request a refund.
