Why am I being charged $1 randomly even when I haven’t purchased something? I checked my bank statement this morning. This has only started happening this month (March). I have been an eBay member for over 10 years and never have had this before. Trying to speak to someone, not a virtual assistant, is near impossible!
Does anyone know what is going on?

Have you tried typing speak to an agent in the chat bot during business hours? (that usually works)
Other members can't tell you 'why' if you have not purchased anything (if it were me in that situation, I would be notifying my bank on the spot *in case* it is a hacker trying to do a 'test' on making withdrawals without me noticing before trying to make a big withdrawal
ANY unauthorised charge and the first concern should be reporting it to one's bank
It actually shows the charge as being for eBay?
