This happened to me two weeks ago on my paypal debit card. I had never paid for gas with my debit card before.The gas purchase was $46, and then paypal took out another $75, I called and got it removed that night, and then I know not to use my debit card anymore when filling up with gas

I stand corrected, it is NOT illegal, the legistlation that was
proposed to prevent this practice did NOT go through.
