Unrecognised transactions

Unrecognised transactions can be online retailers who use different trading names to their official business name. Payments for purchases from marketplaces such as eBay or Amazon can also be taken by the individual seller, not the marketplace. Subscriptions and expired free trials are also often unrecognised.
