    I have made a claim via PayPal as it’s not left my bank yet.

    no need to contact my bank?

    They can’t use my card can they, I tried using it but it failed, so used paypal
    Of course they can. You gave them your details. The fact it did not go through could be them trying to get as many card details as possible. Have known people keep trying different cards. 
    Or it could be it was blocked by banks security system.

    As a aside on this. Having to stop the card is not something you have a choice in if the bank wants to stop it. So if you do not have a 2nd bank account. I suggest that you get one, or other method of payments Credit Card maybe. 
    Had the dubious please of having to tell lots of people that are stopping their cards just before Christmas or other public holiday meaning longer delays in cards getting to them.
    Just think a card stopped on  aa day or 2 before Christmas Eve is in reality not going to arrive till the new year due to holidays in card production facilities & postal holidays. 
    Life in the slow lane

     signed up to Bharat matrimony, paid match making service.


    There based in India but provide uk services  too



    I signed up o.n Staurday they called me today, and showed me match’s.

    And used clever sales techniques, so I paid £70


    Now I read reviews it looks like a scam, I paid via PayPal, and through my bank as my card didn’t go through

    Other friends card didn’t work either who was gona sign up.


    I know I should have read reviews before, but I didn’t think there would be any online


    Who should I ask for a refund from, PayPal or my bank and say what?, also I can’t afford my card cancel as need it for weekend, but if I call them later they will say why you tell us now.


    Also it’s left PayPal but not on my bank yet, not even pending.


    Or should I give 5% chnace they’re I’ll find me someone



    You didn't think there be any reviews online for a company trading since 1997?
    This isn't a scam, but a simple case of buyer's remorse.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    PayPal refused, saying they got evidence  they did provide, and bank can’t claim it.

    what are my next steps?

    Final step is to take them to court in India. No idea what for though, they haven't done anything wrong - So would be very expensive for you.
