Anybody else had any unauthorised CC debits by eBay?

[cq_tech]

I received notification from eBay yesterday that my CC details needed updating as it had almost expired, so I logged on to eBay and made the relevant changes.

Upon checking my Netbank balance a few minutes ago, I discover that eBay have charged me $1 under the details EBAY INTL AG - AU  SYDNEY NSW 20 AUS.

Now, I haven't sold for months and I owe eBay absolutely nothing, so I've emailed them and asked what the hell they think they're doing but have so far not received a reply.

Any idea wtf is going on before I contact the bank and dispute the charge, and have the bank hit eBay with a $15 reversal fee?

Whwn taken from a bank account it takes up to 7 working days for the credit to go back in.

The credit does not go back to your bank account or credit card....it always goes into your paypal account when it is a credit from a verification.

It may take a little longer when it is verifying a bank account as it takes 3-5 days for the money to clear from your bank account to paypal.

Heres a question.
why was $75 taken from my account under the same description?
I hope i get this back, i need to pay my drivers licence fee this week. Not happy.

i rekon if i'd seen $75 taken out of my account that i thought was not ok i'd be making a phone call real quick.

If paypal has taken a large amount of money from your account it must be for a purchase authorised by you.

They don't take money out for no reason.

If you did not authorise a payment then you need to ring paypal immediately and find out what is going on.

As OP has low feedback, could it also possibly be the funds are on hold ?

Edit  :  Oops sorry, not OP from years ago - latest poster - shame on me

Gee, maybe I need a strong coffee - now I look - lots of recent feedback !!

It could be your invoice was paid,(in which case you wont get it back).

You've sold nearly $200 worth from late April to early May on this account (so it shouldn't be that high but maybe

another account?).

Did you even read the thread for an answer?

They've tapped your credit card to make sure it's working.

The funds will be returned.

It's an old thread. They probably didn't think there was any point reading it.
