**Headline**: How to Permanently Block an Unsubscribed Seller from Your PayPal Account

As parents, we all worry about our kids’ online activities, and the last thing we want is for them to fall prey to scammers or unauthorized transactions. Recently, a concerned parent reached out to us with a pressing question: how to block an unsolicited seller from their PayPal account to prevent further fraudulent transactions?

Here’s the scenario: the kids used the parent’s PayPal account to purchase digital items from a gaming website, resulting in a significant financial loss. While the parent acknowledges their responsibility to keep a watchful eye on their account, they’re understandably upset and want to take action to prevent similar incidents in the future.

So, can you permanently ban an unsolicited seller from your PayPal account? The answer is yes, but it requires some persistence and strategic maneuvering. Here’s what you need to know:

1. **File a dispute**: The first step is to file a dispute with PayPal, which will temporarily hold the transaction and allow you to investigate. Be sure to provide detailed descriptions of the incident, including timestamps, IP addresses, and any relevant communication with the seller.
2. **Submit evidence**: As you gather more evidence, such as screenshots, emails, or receipts, submit them to PayPal to support your claim. This will help their team determine whether the transaction was indeed unauthorized.
3. **Request a refund**: Once the dispute is resolved, you should receive a refund for the unauthorized transaction.
4. **Report the seller**: After receiving your refund, you can report the seller to PayPal using their reporting tool. This will flag the seller’s account for future transactions.

However, just reporting the seller doesn’t necessarily ensure they’ll be permanently banned. You may need to be more proactive.

**How to permanently block an unsolicitated seller:**

1. **Contact PayPal support**: Reach out to PayPal’s support team via phone, email, or chat and explain the situation. Provide them with the report details and ask if they can permanently block the seller’s account.
2. **Escalate the issue**: If you’re not satisfied with the initial response, be prepared to escalate the issue to a higher-level support representative. Be polite but firm, and provide additional evidence to support your claim.
3. **Follow up**: After submitting your request, make sure to follow up with PayPal to confirm the status of the seller’s account. If they’re not banned, you may need to continue pushing for a resolution.

Remember that while these steps can help prevent further fraudulent transactions, it’s crucial to stay vigilant and monitor your PayPal account regularly. By taking proactive measures, you can minimize the risk of unauthorized transactions and keep your account secure.

**Conclusion**: Preventing future fraudulent transactions from an unsolicited seller requires persistence and due diligence. By filing a dispute, submitting evidence, requesting a refund, reporting the seller, and contacting PayPal support, you can increase the chances of getting the seller permanently banned from your account. Remember to always stay informed and take steps to protect your online financial security.
