Paypal Sucks!
I’m sure I’m not the first one to come to that conclusion.
This summer, I paid for a round of golf using funds on my PayPal debit card. When I checked my account, I saw that I was double-billed for everything. I actually got to talk to someone, and was told I had to fill out a form and mail it in. I did that. Then they lost it, or couldn’t find it, or whatever. When they finally tracked it down, I was told it would be 45 days before they were done “investigating” it. Still waiting…
A few weeks ago, I sold a used Wii game. Received payment, dropped it in the mail. Apparently, the buyer never got it and opened up a dispute. Well, Paypal grabbed those funds out of my account and put a hold on them. Then I’m presented with a form that has 3 options: (1) I can provide proof that the item was shipped; (2) I have not shipped the item and I will refund the payment; (3) I can provide proof that I refunded the payment for this transaction. Well, none of those apply, but there’s no “other” option. So I’m screwed.
I’m done with you PayPal. Bullshit. This isn’t the first time I’ve been jerked around by you, but it’s the last.
