JohnGaunt wrote:Continuing my stupidity, I have a question about my PayPal debit card and a charge that I am disputing. Any thoughts on the following?I got tired of moving money from PayPal to my normal debit card. Waiting for the money to arrive was a hassle, as I could never be sure when the PayPal transfer would arrive in my bank account. To avoid the lag, I requested and recently received a PayPal debit card to pay for gas and meals. It worked well until today.I put some gas in my car. I got my receipt and drove off. I got home and checked my PayPal account. The gas transaction was there, as was another transaction for $76.00 that happened five minutes before I bought gas.My concerns are(1) The timestamp may be off, but how could I get charged for this second amount? I had the PayPal debit card in my possession the entire time and have the receipt, so no evidence was left. Is this a common problem with the PayPal debit card system?(2) I faxed the requested dispute form to PayPal. How long will they take to resolve this? Should I also send the form in via snail-mail, or will that confuse PayPal and delay resolution of this problem?(3) If I had made a purchase of some pre-painted minis, the faux charge could have bounced and then gone to my bank account, which also would have bounced. Would PayPal reimburse me for the overdraft fees, or would I be SOL?
