First time using PayPal. Disaster. Can someone please read and give insight?
I set up PP to buy something, the seller only accepts PP and a couple other methods I didn't have. So, I set it up and it seemed to be good to go. Added my debit card.
Person gave me their user name to send payment. Tried to send it, and it said there was a "problem, try again". So I did. Repeat a few times. I have internet deadzones in my house, so I was moving around trying to send multiple times.
Checked to make sure my card was correct, and everything. Tried again. Still didn't work. So, the person tried requesting the payment instead. I got the notification, and it still didn't let me send it.
I decided to try and add money myself to my PP account and pay that way. But the "add money" option was not even there, and no way to do that.
Tried to log into my PP account on my tablet just to see if the app was different. And now my account is locked because "someone created an account with the same name". Wtf. I've literally had PP for like five minutes.
Feeling a little freaked out, I checked my bank account and there's 10 pending payments for the amount I was trying to send. But they're not showing up on the PP account activity??
So I'm assuming these payments are going to go through tomorrow morning, being Monday. Should I just go straight to my bank? Dispute through PP? Even if the seller tried to give money back, my account is locked .... so now idk what to do.
