It’s a shame PayPal has to resort to deceptive business practices to profit. It is virtually impossible, no matter how many boxes you check, to avoid an occasional purchase being charged to Bill Me Later, even when taking out a loan is not your intent. I have even tried calling them to have Bill Me Later completely removed as an option for payment on my PayPal account and I got the runaround and was unsuccessful.
I made a recent PayPal purchase via mobile device and was not even given options for payment and it defaulted to Bill Me Later, even though I have reset my default payment options to avoid that scenario many times. I can’t even pay the balance until the next billing cycle, which they inconveniently space months apart, because I show no balance at this time.
This makes it, by design, much easier to forget to pay your balance before you begin paying ridiculous interest charges retroactive to the date of purchase. ** It’s much simpler to form-fill your credit card numbers – mine are interest free – with each purchase, albeit perhaps less secure, than to be concerned with taking out a balloon loan unintentionally. You aren’t responsible for charges on a stolen credit card number anyway, as long as you catch it in a timely manner, so the claim that PayPal is more secure is arguable.
Although a good service for money transfers, the push to charge payments to Bill Me Later is wrought with high interest rates, smoke-and-mirrors default options, deception and inconvenience. I’m checking out OF PayPal, not WITH PayPal (clever, I thought).
Wigs
After many many weeks the wig arrived, not only was it not what the description said it had many many dead bugs in it. PayPal told me I had to pay to return to China which was 88.00. Shame on PayPal for not standing by a consumer. I gave them very legible pictures to prove this.
Transactions Put Through Bill Me Later Without Your Knowledge!
Hello! I really want others to avoid the huge problem I just went through with PayPal. Without realizing it, I inadvertently opened a Bill Me Later account. Because you have set this account up yourself (again without realizing it) the customer service people are not helpful at all. And will not reverse or even let you pay the amount off immediately with your credit card. I asked for proof that I set up this account i.e. application etc. and was told that they do not have that information and that I was the one to set it up.
Because I didn’t remember applying for Bill Me Later I decided to check into setting up a NEW PayPal account by setting up a bogus account. The first form after the personal information is an application for credit. Which was not my intention. The form does not mention Bill Me Later and you really have to read what it is really setting up. I wanted to be specific and add the verbiage to this review. So.. When creating a 2nd new account the option after entering personal info, was a Link Bank account/credit card page. Which is what you would expect.
Please be aware of this practice. And read carefully before you set something up in Paypal. I had a huge hassle with transactions that were paid by Bill Me Later not by credit card as I had wanted. It’s impossible to reverse the transaction, the customer service (located in the Philippines) were not helpful and I was told to redo the transaction which turned into a nightmare.
Customer Service people were inconsistent with the policy and what they can do. It seems that Pay Pal preys on this kind oversight on the consumers part to better their bottom line. Finally, I contacted the merchant had them “refund” the transactions and repurchased with the help of Pay Pal. I think more merchants should know about this practice and stop using Pay Pal as an option. Beware!
Buyers Beware!!!
As you all know when you purchase anything through eBay you go through PayPal. Well I bought this tablet through a China seller on eBay. I had to return it and just about a month went by when PayPal decided in the sellers favor. I paid for shipping and entered the correct info such as the tracking information so they can reissue my refund. Which was denied?? Because PayPal claims that once an item goes out of the country it’s untraceable. Meaning they don’t support international purchases anymore. I lost a total of $95.00 including the shipping and the cost of the tablet.
The Post office said there’s nothing they can do even if I had the receipt. Cannot even get my shipping back because it went through customs. I’m not happy with PayPal. It used to be better when they were combined with eBay but now it’s their own separate company. Be careful when you purchase through China sellers on eBay. Expect all sales are final. PayPal resolution center only seems to work with purchases in the U.S. Buyers Beware.
Got Tricked Into Using the Bill Me Later
This happened on 2 separate incidents at the same time period to both my husband and I: Tried to pay garbage bill with Paypal (PP), somehow linked it to BillMeLater (BML); said payment due on a certain date. Tried to link bank account/s to BML and it wouldn’t accept routing and account #. Kept trying – how many banks accounts does a person have? The bill wasn’t due yet, but BML said payment past due and tacked on Late fees ($25 +); in addition to changing the due date; over $100 fees.
Tried to pay a software/computer service to ‘unlock’ computer (which happens to be another scam), but only let me pay through PP which turned into BML; same story as the first issue; turned into another $100 in late fees (again, starting with the $25).
I believe it’s purposely confusing to trick you into using the BML service, then the due dates change without notifying you, purposely don’t allow you to add your bank account if it’s used in your Paypal account, but honestly how many bank accounts does an average person have? Then once it’s considered ‘late’ your bank account is miraculously approved to be linked to your BML account.
Sounds like this has happened to many consumers from reading the reviews. There should be a major penalty for them to pay. When it was just PP, I was happy with their services; Apparently they became greedy! Now I want nothing to do with either!
Confused and Furious User Suspended Without Warning or Explanation
Ebay/Paypal suspended account, offered no information, no appeal, no resolution. Account was suspended without warning or apparent reason. When trying to discover why, I was told I needed to obtain a subpoena. As of 12/31/12, two items had sold on Ebay. The following day my account was suspended. Without any information, I didn’t even know whether to ship or not. Turned out payment was held pending resolution, but as the suspension was permanent; the buyers were to be left in limbo with the seller striped of means for direct resolution.
On 1/1/13 I called customer service at eBay twice, both times was shrugged off without any info. On 1/2/13 I called Paypal support and was told I needed a subpoena just to learn why I was suspended. On 1/2/13 I began receiving disputes from Paypal in regards to the products I no longer had any information about. My Paypal balance was 0, because payment was held for a new account. I issued a refund for the product I never sold or received payment for, and was informed that my Paypal account was now in negative balance. In addition, I paid $26.45 in Shipping fees that are now null thanks to the unwarranted, unannounced, and unexplained account suspension.

1) I received a bill from Paypal Credit that totally stumped me. I made a fraud call to them. Later I examined my American Express account registered with Paypal only find that they didn”t put the charge on my registered American Express card, but opened a Paypal Credit account. The offer for extended pay, which I”ve used in the past, previously, stretched out payments to the American Express account that I have on file. I just lost 2, 300 American Express points and have a new credit company that I don”t want. When I called and asked why I didn”t see a notation on my credit report about opening a new creditor, I was told that they don”t report to credit bureaus. That way they stay under the radar in opening an account for you…it”s secret. When I tried to find out how this happened all I got was, “Have a good rest of your day.” 2) Additionally, somehow they opened an account for my 91 year old mother who is in a nursing home and makes no purchases. They sent her a bill for an airline purchase that she obviously didn”t make. I am cancelling all dealings with Paypal and Paypal Credit.

3 calls, 1h 30m; no resolution. Background: There was no way to reject my friend’s payment so I accepted her $. I then sent her a transaction back. Within hours it says she has refunded the money. I call her. Nope she didn’t. I call to get it cancelled and they tell me it’s about a bank delay. I have to force my way to a manager. He says it’s a security breach and I need to bring the friend on a 3 way call to talk to a specialist. I am lucky enough to reach her. The manager never connects us to a specialist, puts us on an indefinite hold. We hang up. I call back. Try to re-explain. Representative puts me on hold again to look into it. ~10 min later, I hang up because they didn’t come back. I called again. Explained again. Transferred into indefinite hold. I am about to give up entirely and tell my friend to fight it for awhile.

After several weeks and many phone calls I have given up. The PayPal plus operations are either in shambles, suffering from neglect, or fraudulent. Every attempt to settle a requested charge back has ended in no action what so ever. The latest attempt required I file a new (second request) and then fax the evidence to [protected] . This phone number does not work! Avoid this company and alert others to avoid this company as well. In my opinion the brand ‘PayPal’ is severely tarnished. I will never trust any eBay product again.

PayPal Reviews & Complaints
Any sellers that used paypal to receive payments, should check their account very closely, as paypal can reverse the payment you have received and then leave it on held for ever, and when I contacted them, they claimed that it is a system ‘problem’ and therefore if you do not keep a close eye on your paypal account, paypal could held your money for ever, and you might not even know they are doing so, because the transaction might not show up in the dispute/resolution log. They even keep holding my $$$ when their system closed the case and ‘claimed’ the $$$ on hold was released back to my account, and should be available for my used. How can the self proclaimed ‘largest processor of payment on ebay’ which handled billions of $$$ in transactions had a stupid outdated system like the one they have? I beat if paypal done that to me, they would have done the same thing to other sellers. Lawyers out there, you should look into this and clearly paypal not only violated banking laws, possible other laws, when they illegally held others $$$ and avoid to pay the interest on the $$$ they are holding. In my case, they are not paying interest, on $$$ they claimed they have released back to my account and available for my use.
PayPal Reviews & Complaints
As an independent business person who deals with many overseas clients, I’ve been a long-time user of PayPal’s convenient online invoicing and payment services. PayPal traditionally requires some sort of bank collateral in order activate a user’s account. In my case, it’s been a Visa card I’ve used for several years. THE PROBLEM: Unfortunately earlier this month my Visa card info was stolen by an online vendor (NOT RELATED TO PAYPAL), so my bank canceled that Visa card an reissued me a new card with a new number. When I went to update that Visa card information on my PayPal account, PayPal refused to accept the new card and displayed the following message: “We cannot link and confirm your card at this time. Please link a different card or confirm a card already attached to your PayPal account.” Despite repeated attempts over the next few days, PayPal refused to accept the new card, always displaying the same error message. Meanwhile my account became inactive–I could neither send nor receive payments, because I now had no valid card on file with PayPay. I sent an e-mail explaining the problem, but never heard back. Today I finally called PayPal customer service, and after being transferred to several different departments (and in one case being disconnected entirely) and being given several explanations as to first: why I shouldn’t be getting this error; then second: why I was getting this error, I was told that the PayPal system was set up to accept only one (1) Visa card. Yes, according to customer service, the reason I cannot not update my Visa card information is because the PayPal system is set up to accept one (1) and only one Visa card. If you cancel that card, your only option is to register a non-Visa card, e.g., Mastercard, Amex, Discover. I kid you not. Fortunately I have a Discover card, so I registered with that (and now I have to wait 2-3 days to complete a convoluted acceptance process). What annoys me is the amount of work I had to do in order to uncover that information–several days of fruitlessly filling out the PayPal credit card forms, an ignored e-mail request for help, then an aggravating hour on the phone with PayPal customer service.

Be careful of Pay Pal. I was given a second chance opprotunity on Ebay. I e-mailed the seller and he sent me a paypal bill. I paid it including a $50 fee for shipping including insurance. The product came and was very poorly packaged and broken several spots. I contacted USPS and they said that it appears the seller did not take out insurance. I contacted paypal and they said they only protect purchases through e-mial, but mine did not qualify. They said they do not guarantee the quality of the product, shipping method, packaging and the list goes on. So if at all possible I would recommend to always use a credit card rather than paypal. Paypal offers no protection.

Below is a message from PayPal: “Since your PayPal account has a positive balance, all funds will be held for a period of 180 days. PayPal will restrict the use of the funds in your PayPal account to minimize the loss on any unresolved buyer complaints, chargebacks, or bank returns.” “PayPal reserves the right to close any account reported to be involved in possible high-risk behavior. Therefore, you will not be permitted to utilize the PayPal service for your online payment needs in the future, and this decision may not be appealed.” Although the above decision is unacceptable, PayPal has power to do whatever they want to do.

Beware when using multiple Ebay Gift Cards to make an online purchase. I have noticed that when trying to “use up” gift cards with small balances that the Ebay system will charge the full amount of the transaction to the final card used if it contains sufficient funds to cover the transaction. In other words even though you enter the Redemption Code for a card with a $10.00 balance first, then use the code from a card with a $50.00 balance second, for say a $30.00 purchase, the entire $30.00 will be deducted from the second card. Which leaves $10.00 on the first card, which you have no way of knowing. If you pitch the card then your out of luck. SURPRIZE! There are no indications provided during the checkout process that would alert you that they did this. I wonder how many folks have throw their money in the trash can because of this. Good for Ebay! Bad for customers.

Cody refuses to accept dollar coins especially if their is at least two people behind me even when they dont have a cart or basket and had just a few things in their hands. He then laughed as he was saying no on the second refusal and by the time i keft got straight in my car amd backed out the line was alreasy finished but yet he couldnt accept dollar coins. I collect them its not like im trying to be mean and everyone else from the store has always been nice. The second troubling encounter Ive had was yesterday when he decided to train the new girl to not accept my dollar coins if there is a line. That to me seems illegal amd if it was dollar bills he would still have to count them. Worse of all cashiers dont recognize Legal tender when they see it. So I believe they need some training in customer service and care. The store lost 50 dollars the first transactuon ajd almost lost 20 the second time. There are two other dollar stores in beattyville and they are dollar general please address this situation so i can continue shopping there as i have spent thousands there cause i used to live near the store. Thank you for your time and the store number is #00484 the last transaction was on 04-26-2018 at 17:24:32. I just feel like my money isnt good enough and Yes i coukd understand if it was pennies but dollars? You might as well start only accepting 5 dollar bills and up cause dollars add up quickly and cant understamd why he would act like two people behind me is a line? All when I have worked in Atthe Springfield Mall in Illinois near chicago at Gamestop during Black friday and never turned a customer with money down no matter what currency they used as long as they were using cash. I think he needs a little reminder of what his job is and what he is there for thank you again and have a good afternoon.

Don’t ever use pay pal, they make it very difficult for businesses to receive their money if the customer makes a mistake! I have a massage business and set up a pay pal account for customers to purchase gift certificates. Pay pal doesn’t allow you the business to set your own prices unless you pay $35 monthly fee on top of the 2.49% transaction fees you’re already paying. And customers weren’t using the very long redemption code to redeem their gift certificates and even worse they had to have a pay pal account themselves just to be able to use them! When I called pay pal they said I could issue a refund to the customers and they could pay me when they got their refund, however pay pal doesn’t issue refunds 60 days after the date of purchase! I spoke with another representative who told me to open another dummy pay pal account and type in the redemption code myself to get the money. I don’t understand why they couldn’t just ask me what the redemption code was since I had the printed gift certificate receipts and as the business owner I could verify the transaction took place. No, they wanted to make it as difficult as possible and make it all my problem. Not a good company, I will not be doing business with them again and advise others to stay away as well.

Simply the worst.

During the month of July 2010 An internet auction payment company like Paypal called Gunpal.com or Gpal.com which I got an account with under the username and email address [protected]@gmail.com processed a few transaction untill I no longer could use them when the remaining balance in my account was criminally never transfered to my confirmed bank account as I had executed a tranfer first in the amount of $130 and then another in the amount of $43.54 for a total of $173.54. After weeks of emails and phone calls to gunpal support I received nothing and run around with excuses of “electronic tranfers are not possible now” and “we will send you out a check for the belated funds transfrer within 2 to 5 business days” When I called them they made me wait on the phone 45 minutes and had an automated message which counted down from 23 minutes down to one minute and then started counting up from one minute to 22 minutes showing how this is all a big game of criminal malice, deceit and theft. Because they never had any intention of talking to me to resolve this matter in good faith! They are like paypal but much more crooked in thier operation. Bottomline is Gunpal.com owes me $173.54 from which they charged me 3% for the service of payments received and made via email to and from peple I paid for purchases or sales made and refuse to answer my emails or pay me what they owe me! They are crooks indeed.
PayPal Reviews & Complaints
eBay and Paypal have an obvious monopoly (eBay owns Paypal) as demonstrated by the following: – eBay encourages the use of Paypal and makes Paypal the easiest payment method without providing the same level of support for non-Paypal options – eBay automatically freezes Paypal funds indiscriminantly based on a complaint by a buyer unlike standard credit card industry practice on billing/charging complaints – eBay accesses your Paypal account without permission – eBay continues to raise fees on sellers – eBay has removed the ability to provide negative feedback on buyers – eBay and Paypal “double dips” by collecting money from the Buyer/seller on the front-end and the back-end of the transaction – no bundled pricing given that they show incredible favoritism to using Paypal when selling on eBay I have been an eBay member since 2000 with 100% positive feedback. I am not a store, not a business; just someone that wants to occasionally buy and sell things. In recent years eBay has made it increasing tougher on Sellers in their fee hikes, the way the handle feedback and they way they handle disputes. Recently I experienced my first complaint. The Buyer complained 1 MONTH after the end of the auction claiming that the package came but had been opened (a hole in the package) and the item removed. Being a month after the fact it makes it really difficult to pursue anything with the shipping provider. I responded immediately to the buyer and despite the extreme lag between the sale and the report of a problem, I offered to resolve the problem. I tried to gather facts so that I could work within the system to research with the shipping company. He immediately starting threatening negative feedback and wanting a refund (within hours of the first notification of the complaint). I cancelled the transaction in eBay so that I could get the eBay fees back, and the buyer agreed to the cancellation. The buyer asked for a specific amount of a refund ($130 out of a $180 sale) so I viewed this as a compromise due to his lateness in reporting the problem so I refunded the money as requested. A week later the buyer demanded that I pay him more money – he wanted the full amount of the money refunded (basically asking for the shipping fees, Paypal fees, and the remaining difference (roughly $67 total). I explained that this was unfair especially since he took so long to report the problem AND because he asked for a specific amount to be refunded which I immediately honored in 24 hours from the request! The Buyer explained that the original refund request was a mistake and tried to say it was a typo but the amount wasn”t off by any single digit being mistyped and was actually documented twice in two emails. He again threatened to leave negative feedback and that he would pursue within eBay and Paypal. So I continued researching with the shipping company and within eBay/Paypal on policies. But the Buyer declared me as unresponsive after 3 days, filed a complaint with eBay, put negative feedback on a canceled transaction (not sure how/why eBay would allow/permit this), and turned the matter over to the Resolution Center (a Hell hole for Sellers). So this is where the Big Brother Monopoly of eBay and Paypal wields their monstrous and totally thougtless heavy hand! So despite the fact that I had already paid out $130, eBay reached into Paypal and put a hold on my account for the FULL amount of the original transaction – thrusting my Paypal account into the negative (overdrawn!) without notifying me, without calling me, and with total disregard of the relevant facts!!! So EBAY DOESN”T take the time to perform ANY commonsense thinking or analysis and apply it the situation (this is the thoughtless part) and expect me to be without my original item, without the shipping fees already paid, without the Paypal fees already paid, without the $130 already paid, and now are freezing 100% on an item that was delivered. The Buyer states he was traveling which is why it took him so long (1 month) to report a problem but with a month going by and a package sitting somewhere in his possession, who knows who might have had access to the package to steal the contents! So after talking to the buyer by the phone he started to see my point and was willing to compromise by asking that I pay a lesser amount (basically without the shipping and Paypal fees). But due to the Big Brother Monopoly with eBay and Paypal, I can”t refund the money since eBay reached into my Paypal account and sucked out ALL my money and left me with a negative balance! I guess the Big Brother Monopoly of eBay and Paypal want me to fork over EVEN MORE money (I am already out the full value of the original item, out all the shipping fees already paid, all the Paypal fees already paid, out the $130 already refunded, out the 100% of the Paypal payment received for the dubiously disappearing product, and now they want me to shell out even more money!?!?!?!?!?! No company show have this much power and that basically goes unchecked!!! Time to look at eBid and Webstore! eBay and Paypal should be broke up and they need to be seriously fined. I will be seeking any and all class action lawsuits and encouraging more lawsuits not to get rich but to end their tyrannical practices!

For some reasons, they all of a sudden decided that they have to hold my amount for a month without any explanation why. I never acted in a bad way, all of my transactions were legal and I myself have been their regular customer for several years, so I have no idea what happened. They said it looked suspicious and now they are checking it. Then why does it take you too long? Are you sending signals to aliens and waiting for their confirmation? What they did is ridiculous and is not legal whatsoever.

For years I have been shopping on line with confidence using my PayPal buying “shield” Yesterday I filled a dispute with paypal requesting my money back for a dvd I had ordered through www.ecrater. /jfsales51 What I recieved was a bootleg pirated copy. Paypal “investigated and closed” my claim within 90 min of me filling it. When I called Paypal I was informed that of the thousands and thousands of sites that use the PayPal option the only one I am protected one is Ebay. Unless I never recieve the item. So according to Paypal I did recieve it but who cares that it is a homemade illegal dvd… I lose. The more research I did the more I felt like a fool using PayPal. Even if you use your credit card to pay with paypal you waive your rights. So America please use caution when using paypal becuase you are NOT protected at all even for illegal activites and scams. I have closed my account and will now only use my charge charge so that I can have at least some recourse. Check this out paypalsucks.com it will really open your eyes beforethe holiday shopping season.

General and open question to the public and Paypal’s business practices: Why is it not possible to move and take your Paypal account with you? Why do I have to close my account and reopen a new one in the country I moved to? I have two different accounts already and always need to withdraw all my money plus reinvent a new email address to open a new account. It’s very frustrating and Paypal needs to think about an easier solution. A simple change of address or change of phone number would do. I don’t understand why a large company like Paypal can’t be international? It can be done with all my other accounts including ebay, Amazon, Expedia – you name it. I really like Paypal as an option to pay online by this whole closing and reopening new accounts stinks. I hope if enough people rant they rethink this practice.

Happy ending to story – my daughter and I found the perfect uggs on nike-trade.com, for $65 less, ordered through paypal, and then found all the complaints against the compnay. I immediately logged back into paypal and saw the sellers name was in chinese, not english, so I got nervous. I emailed paypal and the email address that had been at the bottom of the paypal confirmation, and lo and behold, I did get my money back the next day! I was also reading on some other website on how to identify fake uggs and it states that although it’s an australian company, the boots are now actually made in china. Regardless of if they would have been fake or not, I am glad I got my $125 back! I paid for an item via paypal one time and the person closed their account before I could get my $ money when the camera never arrived…

Hi My name is Emma Nicholls and I live in Australia. I purchase a bag off eBay which was stated to be authentic. When I received the bag i still thought it was until someone suggested I look online and they thought it wad not a genuine Louis Vuitton. After investigating I decided to put a claim through paypal as there were items both on the bag and what it came with that gave me doubts. Paypal accepted the claim and told me to go further I would require a certificate stating that it is not authentic. After phoning Loyis Vuitton I was told no companies supplied these. I phone paypal back and notified them of my findings when they suggested I use My Poupette as they deal with paypal regularly. I jumped straight onto the site, paid my $125 for a certificate and sent all the necessary information and photos through. After a couple of days I had still not heard anything besides them noticing that they had received payment. Over the next 3 weeks I sent 5 emails and have still not had a single response from this company. I phoned paypal every couple of days updating them on the situation. They kindly extended my deadline by a couple of days in the hope I would receive the certificate. Paypal have now closed my claim and were not willing to give me an alternate option besides the certificate. The bag was $780 and now with the certificate costings I am now out of pocket over $900 and this has caused me extreme stress and worry over the matter. I am not sure of my options and would grately appreciate some assistance as I would like this to be resolved and hopefully be able to get my money back. I feel I have been unfairly treated by paypal and since making some personal investigations have come across others who have had issues with this same website. It is unjust that paypal be suggesting this site to people as it gave me the hope of paying $125 would have my claim settled and it would get my money back. I am considering going to the Australian police on this matter also as the seller stated the item and authentic when it is in fact not. I have since purchased an authentic Louis Vuitton from one of their retail stores and when purchasing you do not receive any authenticity documents. Especially not the plastic cards I was sent with the fake. Please email me and notify of my options. Kind regards, Emma Nicholls emma.rae.[protected]@gmail.com

I will post more info shortly. Thanks Rajendra
PayPal Reviews & Complaints
hi, i was just reading your complaint as i used to be a power seller on e-bay and always used paypal…the same thing happened to me, im in the u.s. and sold 2 vintage leather jackets equalling $600.00 to a guy in france…2 days after he paid, he filed a complaint through paypal that he hadnt received his purchases…well, duh…6-10 days for international priority mail and they allowed the complaint without using smart judgement and knowing that he could not possibly receive them in 2 days…they placed a hold on the $600.00 and i had already sent the jackets…he then sent me an e-mail with all kinds of vulgarities and threats and sent a link that i had won one of his jackets previously in e-bay auction and was furious that i sold it to him at a higher price…duh, the nature of business…the e-mails were scary threatening unlike anything i had ever heard and sent them to ebay and paypal but they did nothing except hold my $600.00 for 3 months while they “investigated”…they eventually only returned $300.00…i then moved out of town after not selling for the summer as i was doing flea markets and vintage clothing shows…it was fall and was ready to get back to selling using my e-bay account but my account had been frozen for what reason, i did not know but i decided to open a new account and i had a total of $1200.00 in my first 5 auctions and paypal would not let me process these payments because of a red flag on my previous account (i.e. the french guy)…i had 100% feedback before him and never had nothing but rave reviews and they decided to red flag my account when this guy was so awful?! they then required that i send a copy of my drivers license, my ss card, names and numbers of the sources where i bought my goods to sell and a couple of other things that i cant remember…i buy my things from estate sales, garage sales, thrift stores or wherever and i always sold in lots of 10 items or more so there was no way i could send that information nor should i because its not their business who my sources are…this was the only way they would re-open my account but i was skeptical…fortunately, the items i sold were to customers who i worked with for several years so we were able to work out other arrangements for payment and they received their merchandise but it took a long time to finalize the sales…since then, i have not used e-bay or paypal (as paypal is a company of e-bay and paypal functions the same way as a bank, handles peoples finances and holds peoples’ security in their hands and yet they are not regulated by the FDIC)…now, i’ve heard from several sources that now to buy and sell on e-bay, they force you to use only paypal to complete a purchase…this sounds like nazi-ism to me and should be outlawed…why the press hasnt been all over them is beyond me!!! the point being, i have been selling on sites like etsy and ruby lane and have also been using a site called “google checkout” to process my online payments…they function very much in the positive ways of paypal without all the negative aspects of paypal…i highly recommend all of these if you’re interested in finding other venues and sources for online payments…my customers have been very open to using them even if they dont currently have an account and has certainly not hurt the amount of business that i have and in fact, has simplified everything because i no longer live in fear selling on e-bay and using paypal as my online method of payment…i hope i have been of help and good luck in future endeavors!!! cheers!!! THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I STILL HAVE ALL CORRESPONDENCE IF ANYONE’S INTERESTED AND HAPPY…LETS GET GOOGLE CHECKOUT GOING SO PAYPAL HAS SOME COMPETITION SO THEY DONT CONTINUE TO MONOPOLIZE AND MAYBE THEY’LL BECOME MORE LEGALLY AND ETHICALLY MORAL!!! GOVERNMENT WONT DO NOTHING, PRESS WONT DO NOTHING SO PEOPLE, ITS ALL IN OUR HANDS…BOYCOTT IS THE ONLY POWER WE HAVE!!!

HYIP company that refuses to pay out profits to customers. PPI freezes account for no reason, and expects customers to pay an unreasonably high fee in order to be paid even small amounts of profits. I was asked to pay $250.00 in order to withdraw $50. They claimed I had an issue that did not exist and refused to acknowledge the documentation that I sent to them to prove that their claims were in error. Extremely poor customer service. Only brief answers that don’t even answer the questions being asked. I invested something like $300.00 and earned profits of over $1000. They denied me even a $50 withdrawal. They will not listen!! Total runaround and hassle. RIP OFF TOTAL SCAM!!! RUN FROM THIS SITE AS FAST AS YOU CAN. IN FACT DON’T EVEN BOTHER TO GO THERE.

I also had this problem I didn”t realize I was applying for credit through Bill me later since I already had PayPal using my Bank. I thought you had to do something with Bill Me Later so I mistakingly went on thinking it was an update for PayPal. Very angry this is such a misleading practice, not everyone understands how to do this stuff right on a computer and I am one of them.

I am in the process of cleaning up $12, 500 worth of airline tickets charged to my Pay Pal accounts. This included debit, credit card and the bank checking account tied to PayPal. Not the first time I”ve had to deal with fraud through Pay Pal. My computer has good, current virus and spyware on it. The “geek squad” at Best Buy found no planted keylogging program/virus and they just guffawed at the lack of “security” on the PP site. Their comment was it is “not safe, no matter what they say”. Last year someone hacked into Pay Pal and listed hundreds of individuals” names, socials and credit card# w/security codes onto a discussion board thread on Ebay. Every few lines he stuck in “wheeeee!!!” I saw this myself yet Ebay/PayPal (one and the same) covered it up and denied there was anything to it. I would recommend NOT using Pay Pal. Let Ebay know what the concerns are as they are starting a new “policy” around the end October 2008 not allowing sellers to list any payment option other than Pay Pal. This is not out of concern for buyer/seller safety, it is only another way for them to get more money in their already deep pockets.

I auctioned off an item on Ebay with totally honest & accurate description of said item. Buyer bid and won the item. A couple of days after the auction ended and the payment, through Paypal, was made, the buyer got buyers remorse. But instead of communicating with me about it, he started saying that he didn’t believe the item I sold him was as I stated. Paypal claimed I didn’t resolve the problem with them within 10 days so they sided with the buyer and demanded I return the money. They couldn’t freeze the funds due to the fact that as soon as the buyer started making false complaints, I pulled the funds from my acoount. Paypals motto is freeze funds first, ask questions later. Paypal refunded the money to the buyer, who also still has the item I sold him, and wants me to refund them. These people are out of line!

i began using ebay back in 1998, before they offered stock options. you could say, because of the amount of auctions i had (100’s), i was someone who helped ebay grow. back then, it was truly the best place to sell things online, and get real market value for what you had. unfortunately today, ebay is not what it was back then. it’s filled with fraud on both sides; the sellers and the buyers. you know what they say; screw me once shame on you. screw me twice shame on me. screw me three times and i’m an idiot. well, i was screwed more than 3 times and decided i would never use ebay again. the biggest reason for that is, their use and endorsement of paypal. as a seller, i was burned a couple of times by using paypal; lost what i sold and the money. as a buyer, i had no recourse for refunds for misrepresented items…that was back in 2004 and i never went back. i refuse to have anything to do with them, paypal or ebay, because they didnt care about their sellers misrepresenting themselves and they didnt care about the buyers who got ripped off. and its kind of sad really, because ebay is so popular and i have so many things i could be selling. i’ve not been to ebay in years but i hear horror stories all the time about people being ripped off by paypal, and ebay stays out of it. i wonder how many people are aware, that paypal is not a bank. i never liked the idea that a company, thats not a bank, was handling my money. back when i first started on ebay, every single auction i had, was postal money order only. not many complained. from what i hear today, you can’t request that anymore in your descriptions (maybe i’m wrong on that?) but what i do see is, there seems to be a growing number of people who are finally beginning to see, that simply sitting in your chairs and clicking your payments away, or accepting immediate payments with paypay, is not always the best way to handle the sale. i wish, i wish people would “stop” using paypal and put them out of business. complaints do not seem to be doing anything to stop what they do. didn’t ebay buy paypal a few years ago? that might be why ebay and paypal seemed to be so supportive of each other and do nothing to stop what they do. is there any other auction site out there today, that takes what ebay used to be, and brings it today, without all the fraud involved? i’d really like to know, because i am a true fan of the $1 auctions, even on $100 items…ebay was a great place back when it first began. but today, it’s out grown it’s welcome. would someone please create a site that represents what ebay used to be, for the individuals and not the businesses? i’ve not seen one yet that has the same popularity that ebay had. i’d really like to see them go out of business. they took a good thing, and their greed ruined it.

I bought a fish on eBay on March 24, 2015 and it arrived sick. I have an email from the seller admitting that the fish WAS sick when he sent it. I bought a fish on eBay on March 24, 2015 and it arrived sick. I have an email from the seller admitting that the fish WAS sick when he had sent it to me! I contacted the seller (bettanique79) right away to let him know that the poor fish was sick and I also let him know the following day (I was too upset to contact him as soon as the fish died – I watched the fish die and it was traumatic to watch). In the seller’s listing it states ” Prior to shipping, your fish will be thoroughly inspected for any damages and sickness. In the event that we find any damage or sickness, you will be notified and reimbursed. If there are no damages or sickness, we will ship your Betta. ” The fish WAS sick and the seller knew that it was sick and the seller, eBay, and PayPal will not issue me a refund. The seller committed FRAUD and eBay and PayPal are both allowing him to do this.
