PayPal retaliated and limited my account

Instead of FINALLY doing the right thing, apologizing and depositing some funds as compensation for my agony in my account, PayPal “LIMITED” my account.

I wasted all day on this crap, talking to several PayPal reps and supervisors.

I’m so far behind schedule with client and other work I have to do and it will take hours to post everything.  So I just want to say here that these people at PayPal are a bunch of LIARS!

First they told me this morning that there was a problem with the customers’ account, but they couldn’t tell me what it was.  Then they told me that there was NO problem with the customers’ account.  And finally they told me that the problem was that the merchandise was not as described.

What a bunch of low life liars!

And you can’t imagine the BS I got to hear because they now question an additional 4 deposits.

PayPal has “the right” to know what every payment you receive is for.  One of the payments was a $10 “DONATION”.

How stupid can these people be?

It’s a donation!

Incredibly, supervisor Dieter had to know what the donation was for.

In 47 years of banking (I’ve had a bank account since I was about 6 years old) I’ve NEVER been asked what a payment or a deposit was for.

Dieter then lectured me on how PayPal is different from a bank and how it is required by the government to know what all payments are for. 

And if they don’t like it, they can choose to not do business with me.

One reason why I didn’t close my PayPal account today is that I can NOT close it because it is LIMITED.

More tomorrow …

I still don’t know yet who regulates those scammers.

 

My 12/5/11 fax to the PayPal legal department

I checked my PayPal account and despite my customer advising PayPal on Saturday that the products were shipped ok, the account is STILL negative. I checked my bank account and it showed the pending PayPal charge.  So I called the bank and they said that the charge “should” be removed by the end of the…

TERROR: PayPal stole over $3,000 from my account!

Last week I had an extremely busy week and I once again struggled with the fact that it takes ONE day for PayPal to take funds out of my account, but it takes TWO days for me to move PayPal funds into my bank account. Friday evening I was looking forward to the weekend and…

How to calculate the PayPal fee for NET receipts

For personal transactions, it’s easy — PayPal will do it for you. But when you have a business transaction and you want to quote someone the exact amount AFTER fees it’s not so easy — unless you know how. I used a spreadsheet to calculate the fee for a nominal amount such as $10, deducted…

PayPal $0.30 transaction fees NOT refundable

I’ve had PayPal since the 90s, but never noticed the $.30 transaction fee is NOT refundable until yesterday. I was supposed to get $10 from China and wasn’t too happy when I got only $9.31.  Since it’s an international transaction, the fee went from 2.9% to 3.9% + the $0.30 transaction fee. I decided to…

PayPal system problem: no email notices for purchases and backup funding

I’m using my PayPal debit card wherever credit cards are accepted because I like getting the 1.5% cash back.  A couple weeks ago I noticed that I hadn’t received any email notices after we did our shopping in town.  That’s a bit annoying,  but not nearly as important as NOT receiving notification of backup funding….
