Are there transactions in your PayPal account for the same day? It could be a partial payment for a purchase that was also funded by your PayPal balance? Have you used your bank debit card to make in-person payments on that date? And perhaps the merchant uses PayPal to process their payments?

None at all.

Then open a dispute on it with your financial institution or in PayPal if the transaction is located there.

Hi

Did you get anywhere with this?

Paypal (under my direct debit) have taken money from my bank account recently and there is no trace of it whatsoever on my paypal account?

Emailed paypal, they said raise is as disputed transaction - but I can't as it isn't showing on my account

Spoke to my bank, they gave me a reference number but couldn't actually do anything as it isn't a fraudulent transaction with my bank card, it is a fraudulent transaction via paypal under the direct debit scheme
