WTF: Help with Paypal and Ebay! Fraud???

[PMoore]

UMmm, where to start.
I log on to my bank account and there is a 1$ charge by ebay. WTF, next i check my email and i see that paypal said i sent someone 509$ to some person for shoes?! I check my paypal and there is no record of the transaction?

Im calling my bank... Is there a phone number for ebay?

what makes you think the email isn't fake/a phishing email?

Log in to your PP account( DO NOT FOOLLOW ANY LINKS IN THAT EMAIL!!!!) and see if there is a record of transaction. If there is, call PP forst thing tomorrow and alert them. Call your bank RIGHT NOW if they have 24hrs customer service. If your PP linked to your bank account by means of Visa/MC debit card you will be fully protected. Actually, you should be protected either way as long as you notify them in timely manner and cooperate fully. Good luck.

Did you sell something recently on ebay? Could be the fees.

What is the reference information for the ebay transaction.

I'm sure it doesn't just say "Ebay: $1"... unless your bank sucks a bit fat one.

Possibly an authorization to list items or to check the validity of a CC#? That's what $1 charges are usually for. They're always authorizations, though...
