Please help!! what is a paypal balance adjustment?

Question

I opened my paypal account today and it had a $200 balance. Is this money from a claim i filed 3 weeks ago? I won the claim but there were no funds in the scammers account. I already filed a dispute with my credit card company...

Answer 1

if you filed a claim and won when ever any money goes in to the bad account they will automatically transfer it to you until you are fully reimbursed. So if its less then your claim it could be from that.. if its more then I would just email or call them and ask.. also someone could have sent money and put in the wrong email addy... BE SURE its yours before spending! It should say where the $ came from. and You can follow the links in your claim and see if that was were it came from.

Answer 2

this was probably because you won the claim.  From what I know, PayPal never makes a mistake of giving you free money.  They only take it away regardless if they are right or wrong.
