A user recounts a StubHub account takeover that resulted in an unauthorized $913.20 PayPal charge; investigation showed StubHub preserves linked PayPal authorizations so purchases can be made without additional PayPal authentication and linked payment methods cannot be removed online. StubHub’s phone-based account verification was weak, their Trust & Safety refused a refund, and PayPal later reimbursed the user; the author urges stronger password hygiene, two-factor auth, and warns users to remove StubHub accounts until the issue is fixed.
