Hello @TeeGho,
Welcome to the PayPal Community!
I'm sorry to hear you've had an unauthorized Grubhub transaction. It sounds like someone logged into your Grubhub account to make the purchase. I recommend contacting them right away to report the activity. If you have never used Grubhub before, I also recommend reporting the activity through PayPal. You can find instructions for canceling the subscription and resetting your password on our Help Center.
I hope this information helps!

I had the exact same thing happen to me. As soon as I received the Grub Hub notification I immediately logged in, changed the password and deleted all payment options. I attempted to cancel the order online with Grubhub only to be immediately disconnected from their telephone line due to 'unusually high call volume'. Their chat system was doing the same. I even called the stores where the orders were placed but told they had already been picked up. I called Paypal and attempted to cancel the transaction but was told I would have to wait for it to post but was ASSURED I would be refunded. Well that was a big fat lie. After calling Paypal today the moment the charge posted, my resolution was denied and closed within the hour. I am still waiting to hear ANYTHING from Grub Hub but its been radio silence. The only thing their chat will tell you is that they have to escalate the request. Same goes for the phone number. Paypal should have never authenticated the transaction. The order was in another state and I didn't even get a notification! I'd have been happy to provide Paypal with the order receipts in the Grub Hub account but they did not bother to ask. This is horrible service from a company that supposedly offers 'protection' against something like this!
