    From experience I suggest you ring back tomorrow and when you get the automated options say very clearly - Speak to someone.
    Eventually a real live person will come on the line and you can then get it sorted.

    They refunded the payment to the person who sent it and also said they have no authority to block the persons account, the first person I spoke to i could barely understand, she was screeching in some indistinguishable language i resisted the temptation to comment on it though

    I had one (one penny deposit) a couple of weeks ago. Finally got someone on PayPal, she told me to just refund it. So I did.

    Now I've got another one. I read on another site that this is a test to see if a PayPal account is active. If no one responds, it will go on an "Ignore this account" list. May or may not be true, but I decided to let this one sit for a while and see what happens.

    When I got mine, I notified PayPal and eBid. I got a "nothing" response from PayPal and a concerned response from eBid.

    I changed my password and I let the 2c sit.

    I do think that one of the recent buyers I've had (one that didn't pass eBid's security checks) was phishing to see if my PayPal account was active.

    So, I didn't refund their 2c. I just let it be.

    I chose to ignore the one penny payment into my account. About 2 or 3 weeks later an echeque for over £2000.00 was paid in (but not yet cleared). This was the point at which I phoned PP who removed the items and put the sender's account(s) into lockdown.

    I told the person i spoke to exactly what had happened to you cheaver, he told me to refund it at first so i pointed out that it was a good way to make money for them as we have to pay 20p a time and that there were quite a few of us and it ads up between us all, Good money maker for paypal that advice anyway he said if it happens to anyone to tell them to ring paypal and they will refund, nis name was Nino BTW ( he was the one i did understand but they all seem a bit thick)

    I used words like "fraud" and "moneylaundering" and got transferred to a specialist unit dealing with fraud in Northern Ireland and he said his name was Kenny.

    He certainly was NOT at all thick - clearly highly educated and extremely professional.
