Payments to merchants
If a suspicious payment was made with your Skrill Prepaid Mastercard®, check out our dedicated article for more details. Remember that if you made a payment at an offline POS terminal (such as on a flight or petrol station), it may take several days or weeks for the transaction to show up in your history. Also, some merchants' names may differ from their actual brand name; double-check with Google to be certain.
For payments made from your account, note that if you have previously provided your card/account details, they may have been saved and re-used for recurring payments or in case of a mistake on the merchant' side. Contact the merchant to resolve the issue.
Keep in mind that there's a difference betweenan unauthorized transaction(a payment made from your account without your knowledge and/or permission) and a payment you forgot about or made to the wrong person, but authorized yourself.
