Ticket seller claims PayPal should refund alleged fraud cash
Summary
Premier Tickets Limited, a Dublin‑registered ticket‑selling company, has brought a claim in the High Court alleging that €318,000 was taken without authorisation from its PayPal account between 12 and 17 November. The company says the money it holds in its account is kept on trust for ticket holders until the event is redeemed. It alleges that €311,000 was transferred to a Citibank account in the UK on 12 November, that £3,200 was paid to its account a few days later, and that over $7,500 was transferred to a Bulgarian entity on the same day. Premier Tickets says none of these transfers were sanctioned by the company and that PayPal failed to refund the money or provide reasons for the transfers. The company seeks an injunction directing PayPal's European branch to lodge the €318,000 into its account and to disclose the results of its investigation.
