    PayPal screwing me over?

    i woke up this morning to see in my e-mail a receipt for payment via PayPal. now, the last time i used PayPal was on the 22nd, and it was a $30.00 transaction to an online game. i click on the e-mail sent today at 7am and what do i see? a transaction for over $300+ for an Autism stroller. WTF? could this be a fake e-mail, even though the e-mail address is the same as the official PayPal ones (service@paypal.com)?

    A) i've never visited a site for Autism
    B) no one has access to my PayPal
    C) the shipping address is not one of my confirmed shipping addresses, in fact it's to some prick in South Carolina
    D) i don't even have $300 in my debit account
    E) it hasn't shown up on my PayPal history yet, or my bank statement online


    hypothetically speaking, if this does get billed to me, is there a way i can dispute it?

    damn i have heard of these scams...make sure to be careful on what u click and enter. make sure its actually true? it may be just a made up image/html thing sent to u. If anything, contact paypal.

      Could be a fake email. I would contact paypal to make sure its fake. Then send them the email, and they will figure it out.

        that's the thing though. it wouldn't just charge me without some sort of confirmation, or just by 1 click of the mouse. one thing i forgot to mention is that i changed my primary address on PayPal, and this receipt was sent to the OLD e-mail that i had changed from. the $30.00 that i DID spend was receipted to my new primary address on the 22nd, as it should have.

          Sounds like a scam to me, transactions always show immediately for me 100% of the time. If its reall it will take a couple days to hit your checking account. Contact paypal asap!!

                yes. e-mail was sent at 7am this morning. it's now 3pm, so i'm hoping it was just a fake e-mail, or just sent to the wrong e-mail. nothing in PayPal has come up yet
