Comments on: I had a merchant account. I sold items online.

In other words your customers disputed the transactions and wanted their oney back. Your merchant account provider can go into your bank account to retrieve the funds necessary to pay those chargebacks as it is part of the merchant account agreement you signed with them. Regardless, your first course of action should be to contact your merchant account provider and find out more about the chargebacks. You should have been notified about the chargebacks by them and there is a good chance that they may not have the correct contact information for you if you didn't hear from them. You also need to find out what the reason for the chargebacks are so you can address them and prevent this from happening again. Otherwise you'll get into even worse trouble then just losing your money. You can end up blacklisted and unable to get a merchant account ever again.
