I have initiated request stating couple of transaction are not authorized one, Its a spam one using my credentials saying they represent Paypal customer support, I called you guys immediately as I saw this transaction & updated saying its not me on 5th of Jan only, Its fraud attempt done with my credential then I changed my password credential. I am not sure your customer teams are updating correct things, When I called on 5th Jan I was said this transactions are in hold will be refunded back to my account, if its authorized transactions why would I call you guys immediately after seeing transactions & asked to stop it. Paypal never took this case seriously or raised dispute to get the money back to my paypal account. They wanted to processed the transaction after asking to stop the transaction multiple used my Paypal credit & bitcoin money Thank you

I've been using PayPal's service for years and to say the least PayPal customer services as well as supervisors are inconsiderate and unprofessional individuals.. They are careless foreigners that can barley understand protocol of the company and lack respect for the customer ... I have an outstanding dispute since October 21st on an item with a merchant I never received. PayPal assured me I would receive my credit back for item today November 8th... I call to speak with a few representatives as well as a nasty disrespectful supervisor" name Ken (no last name) just to be told my "account for my refund is still under review". What does that even mean?. I never received the item purchased, therefore it would make sense to refund me back my money spent... Nonetheless, PayPal's customer service is the reason I will be closing my account as soon as I receive my refund. I will NEVER do business using PayPal service again... P.S- Please Hire a more respectful productive team to assist customers with appropriate customer service and feedback when needed...

It cost £19.44 to send back insured upto £300 Paypal will only refund £15 (Im waiting) they made a right mess of this, 15 phone cals, 20+ emails, cut off, refused to speak to manager and more

I WILL USE AMAZON from now on

JOIN ME, FORGET THIS ABUSIVE COMPANY

I ordered 2 items online and used PayPal Credit to pay for them. I only received one of the items, so I notified the seller and was told that they would issue a refund through PayPal. I saw no refund after 2 weeks, so I went through the dispute procedure on the PayPal web page. I attached all documentation of the purchase and the email from the seller that promised a refund. The seller sent another email saying they will no longer offer a refund because I opened a dispute case with PayPal. I sent this email to PayPal as well. A few days after that, PayPal sent me an email saying that they closed my dispute and I would have to pay for the item I never received.

While paypal is a good service in a number of ways it fails in its fraud prevention department. My account was hacked and after sending funds several times the hacker closed the account. When I contacted paypal they were not able to bring up my information as once an account is closed the computer prevents them from accessing the information....so I was stuck, after spending 40 or so minutes on the phone I had to call my credit card company, cancel the card and try to open a new paypal account (which asked me to give a credit card number (which I don't have yet) there has got to be a better way! Hackers simply send transfers and close your account and there is nothing they can do???? Silly!

As a South African, I have been unable to receive any assistance with Paypal today, after more than 4 hours of phone calls, including International call from my phone.

All i want to do is follow up on why i havent received my refund of 599 USD, every number i have called including the number that is presented to me on the paypal website, which is 1-402-517-4519 as well as the numbers who have been given to me by your so called "account specialists" 1402-935-2080 1402-236-2173 I have spoken to multiple Paypal agents, who have ranged from utterly Rude, to kind and friendly, however none of them were able to assist me but all assured me that the next person they route me to can, but no one was able to.

I am sitting with a bill for international calls to paypal, and a refund that i still have not received, dispite paypal sending me confirmation emails of the refund.

Nobody at Paypal could help me apparently because they are in nebraska and can only help US and Canada citizens, my question then is why do you present me with that number then on my pay pal account.? and what is the correct number for South Africans to call?

In March of this year I was charged $50.00 -- through PayPal -- by Ashley Scott Meyers for editing services on a query letter through his website
SellingYourScreenplay.com.

He took the money through PayPal, then never provided any service or made any acknowledgment of my inquiries. He did not respond to repeated e-mails, and there is no phone number listed on the website.
I do not blame PayPal for this. I simply wanted to alert you that this thief is using PayPal to rip-off foolishly trusting customers like me.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Butler

Paypal gave wrong (old, deleted ) address to a seller when I made an eBay purchase. Item was immediately shipped to the wrong address. (I have made several other e bay purchases recently, so this is not due to inactivity on my part.) Plus, again, it's a deleted address. My paypal profile has ONE ADDRESS listed. Mine. After 45 minutes of interaction with 4 different PayPal reps (one robot, one online chat, two phone reps), I hear it is my problem to fix this by fighting the charge when it appears on my card. So : and I asked several times: how and why did this happen ? Will it happen again ? I never got any answer to that. So anytime I use PayPal my purchases might just be sent randomly to old addresses and arrive in hands of strangers?

I have been trying numerous times to get a response from hesimple on two blouses I ordered and do not like and want to return them. I’ve emailed them asking how I go about returning them and getting a refund, but no answers. I also ordered a blouse from them that I never received. I told them about that and still no response from the. So, being I went thru PayPal, I thought hopefully they can help with this. I don’t know what info you need regarding these orders. It would be on my Paypal account history. I would appreciate any help. Thank you, Rosie Schritz

I used your service for a while without problems then I was not able to send money. Not even small amounts. I was worried that my loved ones would not have money for transit or food. I have since used another company. I called and the rep said this is an ongoing problem. You have lost my confidence and business. I do not understand why you make it so hard to send money to those we love. It is in your best interest to keep your customers happy. You overregulate to the point of limiting innocent people. Not all people are using the internet for malicious purposes. In my case, my fiance has had to walk long distances because she could not afford a transit pass. I was also worried her son would not have money for food. You overkill on screening. Sending $10.00 or a few dollars should not be so complicated. I was told you have this same issue with many customers. I am totally not impressed with your service and if I asked I will refer them to your competition. They just needed me to verify one time and then I have not had any problems. I think we need to stop acting like we are the center of the universe and start acting like we are part of the planet and come down to earth and get off our self righteous nature and stop acting like the world is out to hurt us. The other day a lady was sent money from a friend of her husband. She was not a terrorist. She was just trying to get home. I am sure you have someone in a suit and tie who thinks he or she knows about everything. Thank god there are other providers who do not see the whole world as terrorist

I spoke to Ryan 1299287 about inability to sent a payment. He was extremely condescending and unhelpful.
I understand security all too well. you are not allowing me to send a transaction to my daughter who I just sent money to 5 minutes ago.

you are going to lose a valued customer with this type of treatment.

For the last twelve hours, I have been trying to buy a dustcover for a Technics turntable I am trying to restore and resell. I have been having nothing but problems from the imbeciles at Paypal as to my purchase of a gift card with money on it to complete the transactions and the seller is still waiting for me to pay him. Paypal is interfering with the worst bout of incompetence I have had to put up with and will take it no further. If they persist with their nonsense, I will report them to the Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Protection! I bought an ebay card with the money still on it and these idiots are insisting that I am using a credit card, which I am not, ARE YOU JERKS AT PAYPAL LISTENING NOW?? They are getting their final chance to fix this problem once and for all by the end of tomorrow or my actions against them will be their responsibility! Paypal have bungled this far enough, now it is time for them to fix it, and I do mean NOW!!!!!

I ordered an item and paid for it through paypal, and the item that was sent to me was not what I ordered. I called paypal about this and was told they would open a complaint with this company. First they offered me 20 dollars, and I said no because it cost more than that. Then they came back and said i would get a refund if I was to send the item back and pay for shipping and handling. I told them no because I should not have to pay for that, because the company sent me the wrong item. Pay pal close the despute, and did not do any thing to help me get my money back. I was told so many lies by the different customer service individuals i spoke with at pay pal. So i am just stuck with this awful looking item, and no money back on it. Please try not to go through paypal for anything, they will always be for the different companies and not the customer, I rate this company 0 not 1-5.

A company, Primitive Survivors, keeps billing me for things I did not order. I called Pay Pal last month and complained. The agent said they would take care of it. Today I recieved an email saying my order had been shipped? I can not find a number for them. I ordered from them, a 3 flashlight package before Christmas for gifts. THATS ALL. But ive been billed for something every month since? Please help. Thank you Rand Mecham

Recently all my purchases are being held in "pending" claiming that the "merchant needs to complete the order". When I call the merchant, the merchant replies that they have already completed the order. So, where is the glitch that is preventing my purchases to be sent on to the my credit card bank on file? I would like to get this issue straighten out in order for my purchase transactions to be handled more timely and properly. I would like for things to return back to normal. Can you help correct this issue?

In Nov. EBay sold a photo for me. I have NEVER received money for the sale. In fact, my Wells Fargo bank account deducted $12.96 from my account on Jan. 21 and CHARGED me for PayPal. Are you people crazy??? You have consistently kept using the name of my late husband, Morton. He died 10 years ago. I have sent you numerous handwritten letters, death certificates, letters from my bank mgr. stating that the account is mine, Rhoda Peterson.., sadly there is NO Morton. Let's finish this once and for all. You owe ME money.

Hi,
I made a complaint about a misleading selling of a product from a company named Fame Street. Transaction date 10th Jan. 2019. After filling out the details of the complaint I was informed that I did not supply the information that I did. The reply address on the email was service@paypal.co.uk. When I phone I was told that This address does not receive emails. it seems that someone did not know what they were doing in giving this email address for reply. I have been given an automated name of Karen Simpson. The original claim number is PP-D-21364015.amount £59.94. transaction 85W6330M.

Dear Paypal,

I registered star now.com and could not upload the pictures so I phoned the number given on the site and got an O2 messaging answer, I left a message and no one got back to me, I also emailed them and got no reply to the date of writing this to you that is 13 days, also the site says that they give contact information which they don`t and all you get for your payment is a messaging box like this one but with no details of whom you are writing to; no name of any company that you can make contact with, .very misleading

Yours sincerely

James Lyons.

Thank you

The description is different, The bracelet that the seller sent me is a piece of trash. The seller knows that is a piece of trash and do not want to return. I never will buy nothing in E-BAY and paypal do not want to return my money.

THIS IS A PIECE OF TRASH!!!

I had made a phone call to Paypal on Monday Jan 14/19 regarding a couple of e-mails I got. The first time I called I am not sure if the person could not hear me and they just hung up. The second person asked what they could help me with and I tried to explain and I was told, the exact words were "Fuck You" and they hung up on me. The third person apologized and listened to me but did not help me. All I am wanting to know is why my account is limited until I contact you and not one employee could help me. Can someone please contact me either my e-mail shygalgill@hotmail.com or by phone 780-646-2621. I would greatly appreciate that especially the way I was treated by the paypal staff.

Have had recurring problem over three months moving money into my wallet. Three calls in three month with no permanent solution. Most recent operator said she would switch me to a supervisor when I insisted because she couldn't help, but I suspect she put me on perpetual hold as your little jingle has been played now for more than 40 minutes. I suppose they get demerits for referring calls to a supervisor but that's hardly good customer service. Have someone contact me if you really have anybody ACTUALLY DOING CUSTOMER SERVICE.

20

I contacted PayPal via phone, when I received another request, online, to create a new password. It seems PayPal, especially, makes this request frequently, even more frequently than my online banking accounts. I was quite frustrated, because I needed to take care of something on PayPal and get back to the rest of my busy day. So I made the mistake of calling PayPal Customer Support (I requested a Call Back via the automated system), to find out why this is necessary so frequently, and if there was something I could do to stop getting these constant request. But I should have known better. Over the years PayPal Customer Support Services have declined. I get less support when I call and more incompetence. The people that I speak to are as frustrated as I am when I call; that is always the first indication that my issues will not be resolved satisfactorily. The service representative who contacted me on, 1/05/19, hung up in my face! There is no way it was an accident, or he would have called back; and he was as frustrated as I was at the time of the disconnect. This is the type of service rendered to your customers now. But the more options we get to make secure monetary transactions online the less popular your company becomes. Your company should remember that.

on October 5/10/18 paypal paid £128-72 to expedia for a hotel room in corfu for me,i did not any news from expedia as they said they didn't know anything about me,paypal investigated and sided for them, once paypal,have decided there is no recourse and you cant get anyone on the phone

On 12/20/18 at 7:30am central time , I called paypal mastercard customer service and I spoke to a supervisor, named JT, I have an issue with this supervisor on how he treated me on the phone,he was very very rude and condescending in is tone. He was talking down to me , He would not let me talk, he kept repeating himself, he told me he was the highest supervisor in the call center that there was no one else I could speak to, he right away told me if I had an issue with him to contact the corporate office. At one point, he yelled at me and said, " your not listening to me"!! "I am trying to explain the process"!!, "we have not received your refund from Amazon"!; All he did was keep repeating himself, I finally had to hang up, this was probably the worse experience I had with paypal. The issue is: everytime I get a refund to my paypal cash mastercard from Amazon I always have to contact a supervisor from paypay mastercard to move the funds to my card, one time I waited almost a month and a half to get a refund posted to my paypal card fund were just sitting there, I had to contact paypal mastercard supervisor and they indicated that they are not sure what happened on their end but the refund went through just find from Amazon, the problem is on paypals end where my funds don't show up until they are manually refunded by a supervisor from the paypal cash mastercard dept. So JT, supervisor told me to hang up and call back if I wanted to speak to someone else so thats what I did. The second time I called a very nice and helpful representative named, Randy at the debit card department in Omaha assisted me, he told me " I see your refund of 169.99 but I need to email another department to move the funds to your card and this could take up to two hours". Mr. Randy was very very helpful and professional. Meanwhile JT, supervisor told me earlier that I did not receive the refund as of yet which was a lie and he also told me nothing could be done which was another lie. Mr. Randy, who is not even a supervisor, was able to take care of my refund issue and for him I am grateful to. Please look into JT's "out of line angry behavior" ; As I am very upset. I am requesting a follow-up email or letter explaining why this supervisor JT lied to me about Amazon issuing my refund and that there was nothing he could do and also why he was very rude and belittling by raising his voice at me "you are not listening" and talking over me. But yet Mr. Randy was able to help me with my refund? thank you, Paypay customer, Veronica Garza

20

Very rude and I used the option for Call back.And when it call back all I got was a busy signal.When I finally got through the Imagrant could barely speak english had a filipino accent.And very rude some just hang up when you ask them to repeat.

On Nov 26-27 I attempted to pay a customer: multicolor770@gmail.com / battleground20019@gmail.com / Crystal Woods, 469-205-1425 $300.00
Paypal refused to allow the transaction to go through. I had to resort to paying with iTune cards. I have yet to receive a response from Crystal Woods and all emails have gone unanswered. It has now cost me $550. in late fees and shipping and no response from Crystal Woods.
I'm holding Pay Pal responsible for this transaction.

PAYPAL HOLDING MY FUNDS FROM AN EBAY PURCHASE AND THE BUYER LIVES IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH PAYPAL. I HAVE A SPOTLESS HISTORY FROM EBAY AND PAYPAL. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING??? NO ONE AT PP CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL GIVE ME THE REASON FOR THIS NEEDLESS OCCURANCE. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNEXCEPTABLE AND UNECESSARY. I WILL ALSO BE LETTING EBAY KNOW ABOUT THIS. NEVER HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH PAYPAL BEFORE. THANKS A LOT PAYPAL! not a Pal

Paypal has blocked me from donations and purchases at "censored" first amendment free speech sites. Deep State Demonrat corporate b*st*rds.

On October 9,2018, I ordered and item through Pay Pal skyline. It was a item you attached to the window to receive tv channels , I did what it says to do to connect it up and never received any channels. My account was charged 42.92 and again for 70.93. This item was only 42.92 and no doubt is a scam charging me twice. This item is a piece of junk and should not be allowed to sell. I would like to know what could be done.

When I buy something, my address is not populating on the seller's profile with my apartment number. I spent over 30 minutes on the telephone this morning with a man named "John" who I asked to move my apartment number from the 3rd line to the second because there are THREE shipments that I have not received. He kept repeating over and over again, that everything was good on his end. I attempted to change my address 4 times before I called, and the boxes holding address information would not allow me to change any characters at all. He kept insisting that I have an error message. OBVIOUSLY, I have not received three different shipments here. I did not receive Skinny Fit, CHICV or JCPenney. On the JCPenny, UPS sent an email and I noticed that my apartment number was missing from their shipping information which was automatically pulled from PayPal. This man here in customer service named "John" is a BULLY, who is LAZY and wanted to argue...….when its SO OBVIOUS what the issue is? This phone call occurred on 11/18/2018 at 11:55a and I am still on hold waiting for a supervisor.

I tried to sign up with my new married name; I sent my drivers license with name sekerak on it with a name change card drivers license with the name May on it; my social security card with May on it; a credit card bill with the name May on it; my marriage license with name Sekerak on it and was still denied an account; very discriminative company; I did everything right; I am looking in to a possible discrimination, whoever works in customer service do not know what they are doing; very unprofessional company

My nephew sent me $2000 yesterday and I accepted it. However, it has been in pending status for 2 days and when I called Paypal I was put on hold 4 times and hung up on twice (after being told to stay on the line). I need my money asap for bills and moving. As I type this, I am still on hold. I don't know what to do.

I file a dispute in Sept for a item I had not yet received and I'm now finding out your decision was in favor of the company. When they emailed me and said it was sent to the wrong address. I just want my money back and be done with this company. I have attached the email from Fresh & Minty. It should no take over 3 months to receive merchandise.

I received money on 9/6 when I logged in it stated verification of ID, SS, and ADDRESS. I finish the process spoke with a rep he stated to me that my account will be in good standards. On 9/7 I called again to transfer the funds to my bank I was told I need to verify again. This was an inconvenience to my Family and I . My rent is due today the County Police is coming to our house if we don't make a rental payment. Paypal was great in my eyes until this happen .. I verified my bank and I still wasn't able to get my funds.... I was told I have to wait 5 business days..... That is TOTALLY WRONG WHAT YOU guys are doing to people and their families..... If it was fraud you would've known through the verification process...

If I can rate you guys today it will be 0. None of the customer rep's even attempt to help in this horrible situation..... Please help me to expedite the problem..... I called back now they saying I have to wait 24 hrs to access the account...BAD BUSINESS PAYPAL..... All I want is my funds sent to my account ending 8892.......please

I am one of thousands who made the mistake of buying a lightsaber from a company in China. They work under various corporate or fake personal names (look up Yin Menglin scam to see this has international scope). This is the guarantee from their ad: "WE PROMISE THAT OUR PRODUCTS AND PICTURES WILL BE 100% IDENTICAL. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RECEIPT OF THE GOODS, YOU CAN APPLY FOR A REFUND AND DO NOT NEED TO RETURN THE GOODS. YOU CAN USE PAYPAL TO PAY AND PAYPAL WILL PROTECT YOUR MONEY." The seller does a certain amount of sales, then closes their Paypal account. The automated resolution center will not work as the email of "seller" is removed. I used the popup window by opinionlab.com and somehow the complaint got submitted. ALLWAY TECH CO replied I had to send item back at my expense by UPS or DHL (more expensive than USPS which is $80).
Then I receive a standard PayPal email saying I can get my refund only if I send to an address in China, and I have to pay to send. They will only refund if seller notifies them of receipt. Searches on Google showed that customers in UK had done this only to have the item returned to them as undeliverable. It takes over a month for this process.
I have already complained to my credit card company, but they have only given me a provisional refund waiting on the seller's response. So I may be out of luck there as well. Their website required me to call and talk to an operator, and they have sent me paper mail confirming the state of my complaint through them.
I have had an account with PP since 1999. I am both a seller and more often a buyer. I am sure if I sent a lesser product to my buyers, PayPal would make me refund and pay for them to return the item. Sales funds are often held for several days, allowing receipt by the buyer and time to complain. In this case, the seller took 3 weeks to send when 5 days was promised. Another stalling tactic.
There is a website called paypal-community.com which is full of paypal customers of all kinds. You can look in it too to see the extent of this and other scams. When PayPal is left holding the bag, they pass on the loss to the buyer whose funds are long gone, as is the scammer.
I had to Google PayPal Fraud phone number to get this number 402-935-7733 and also got the customer service number 1-888-221-1161. I had to go through various automated questions, which almost put me in a loop. I finally heard a choice that would let me speak with a customer service representative, for which I got to wait over a half hour.
The customer service rep wanted to tell me to send the item back, even when I explained about the cost to do so. PayPal only covers $30 of the cost and it is over $80 to actually do this. The rep, being human, heard my tale of what I received and how many ways I had tried to contact them to get a refund. Because I am a long-term customer who is also a seller, they decided to offer me $50 for a $59.97 loss with no necessity to return the item. I took it, just to be done with it.

I am your PayPal client until I stopped using your service. You keep sending to me a different Phone number whenever i order an item. Since then I was suspicious that my account have been hacked. For security reason I sop paying using me VISA debit card. I discovered that there was an instance that Im suppose to get a refund. My number is 09175048778 and a diferrent number keep on appearing in my file.

20

I placed an order with CARiD I received that item and noticed that it was not the item that I wanted. I returned the item and because that said that there is an investigation ongoing with UPS they can not refund or address my concern for six months. Please follow up on this for me.

20

I purchased 3 bras from an ad I saw on Facebook. The bras were actually supposed to come from Choicest1.com but the charge on my credit card shows Storm Media Ltd. as the recipient of the money through PayPal. I placed the order on July 20. I was charged, but never received a confirmation number nor did I get a tracking number or an order number. I have no way of proving my purchase except by the charge on my credit card for $25.96. From all the things I have read about Storm Media Ltd. since I placed this order, they do this kind of scam on a regular basis and seem to get away with it.

20

Hope complaint works. Why they try to resolve issues in a roundabout way and never get them resolved, I don't know.
Thank you. Didn't change phone number and card number plus didn't send me a link to do so.
I receveid your Complaint Conformation and tried to contact you another page, but it disappeared in my laptop.
Oh well. So - letting you know I got that.

SIncerely,

My complaint is that I cannot get any assistance to sort out a problem - i have been left on hold for over an hour now and I just get lots of words telling me what I should be doing - but not addressing my problem. I just think that a public service like Paypal should be able to be contacted by phone - I AM FEELING VERY ANNOYED AND UPSET!

Oh my god PayPal blocked me buying anything I didn't do anything wrong I have over 100$ on my account and I call then I'm on hold for an hour and they say to buy it another way excuse me all my money is on there account

20

Ok twice in two weeks,

Had crap happen with pay pal, totally ruined my paris trip. Had to spend hours on the phone to my bank.
and again today it has happened again this time while spending time with my daughter who I have not seen in three years. instead of spending time with her I ended up waisting hours on the phone and no one answered, you are a rubbish bank!! Your customer service is poor, to be honest if I ever come face to face with any one of your upper UK US management team or VP or CEO at a business conference one of us will be spending a few months in hospital. Not only did you ruin my paris trip but you ruined my time with my daughter to, and that is unforgiveable.

you took £97 out of my bank account to pay a dating site that I don't even use. and one to 5 rating is Minus 1000. you are total shit...

20

Holding people's money for 72 hours is unethical business practice. PayPal does provide a service but it also is a business that scams maximum money out of its clients. Totally unacceptable. If you want fair business practice for fairer financial transactions, look for other options that conduct better business - such as Transfer Wise or even your standard bank. I am waiting for a more forward-thinking financial service to put PayPal out of business.

I am so tired of having to change my Paypal password. I have so many online accounts that I have a hard time now keeping up with passwords, I do not sit in my office where I can easily look up passwords in my "little black book" I am on the road in multiple vehicles every day and have online business to do, I do not like being forced to change my password I create and protect them do not force me to change my way of doing things to suit your idea of security, You presume your company is the only one people use in a days business,. Well let me tell you your not and your mandated change cause problems for your customers or past customers as it soon will be.

Paypal refunded a client who booked my holiday apartment then cancelled. This left me out of pocket by £400 as I had turned away another client because of the booking. I told TripAdvisor who I made the booking through I was not prepared to cancel the booking but the client applied for a refund and Paypal made the decision to fund despite my complaint and explanation. Paypal also told me they did not receive the money from the client and that it was TripAdvisor who made the refund but this is not the case. Paypal made the refund taking my money.

I want my money back from Paypal who had no right to make the decision in the clients favor. The client was telling lies by saying they booked in error but they did not, they tried to beat the system. I have an email from TripAdvisor who confirms this was PayPal's decision to make the refund. Please see file below from TripAdvisor.

I made a bank payment to paypal on my account of 70.60. The seller did not provide the product to me so I opened a dispute. I won the dispute and asked for my 70.60 to be returned to me. I asked for a check to be mailed to me because I took the money out of my bank account. I called pay pal today 10/29/16 and they told me they could not return my money. My money was added to my pay pal credit account. I feel this is very unfair because I asked for my money to be returned in the form of a check so I could return it to my bank account.

40

I applied for Paypal credit in August 2016 and was approved for $3,250.00 I placed an order for $117.17 and payed in full in September by due date. I placed a second order for my daughters birthday through shop Paypal I found 2 items from Under Armor I chose the paypal credit button and completed my Paypal credit purchase. The purchase for $ 82.64 was approved and shipped to my daughter. I went on vacation for a week and returned to find that Paypal credit had then declined the credit payment and over drafted my account charging for each individual item this time.

$51.35 on 09/26 -$ 25.00 Overdraft fee. $31.29 on 09/26 - $25.00 Overdraft fee. $51.35 on 09/30 - $25.00 Overdraft fee. $31.29 on 09/30 - $25.00 Overdraft fee. The $82.64 purchase is now costing $182.64. Needless to say I am astonished by this practice used by Paypal.

40

I had customer who purchased pants from me and was not happy with the purchase she that made claim through paypal that item was not as described. She got her money back but I did not received my item and she kept it. And PayPal policy is they have to get the tracked number for the item when item received then they can go ahead and refund the buyer. Now she got the money from paypal and kept the item on tops of that. Do you think that's fair?

20

Cannot get access to my Paypal account even though I have changed my password three times and emailed Paypal customer service two more times. The mobile app doesn't recognize my login and states there is a problem with my login details. Anyone else having this issue?

20

I have tried many times to contact the billing department and change my password to login to my Paypal account. But each time I do so the email asks me to answer a "secret question" that makes no sense.

40

My account has been permanently limited without any prior warnings from PayPal. They have not told me that I violated a policy they just froze my money. PayPal offers a feature called send or receive money via friends or family. They froze my money because I used an option they provide. Makes no sense. How many times does paypal have to get sued over this practice? From what I have read paypal has lost in the court room over this very same practice. It's not a lot of money but I want my money. It is illegal to freeze my money just because you think you can. And for utilizing a feature that you provide? What kind of company is this?

20

Paypal refused to make China accountable for their irresponsible, misleading, and thief by deception actions for sole purpose of financial gain. So I will never use them again.

40

Paypal put my account on limitation. I submitted the information they request, but they would not take off the limitation. When i trIed to cancel my account i am still getting the same problem. I will never get another account with paypal one this problem is fixed. They suck!

20

I transferred money over from my bank to papal to pay bills shopping etc as I do most weeks, only for my money to have gone missing....so speaking with them on many times to try resolve it and getting bit upset that a lot of money has gone missing sat with no gas and having to borrow nappys from a neighbor still theirs nothing they can do for 72+ hrs ives given them ref numbers/ faster payment codes from my bank in which they could find this money easier and I keep getting the same response from them 72+ hrs its been 52hrs so far! after getting rather upset with them they hung up the phone! just what i want when ure £170 down and have no other money.

60

I don't see a reason to use Paypal in the future- had I charged directly on Visa I was guaranteed to charge back the money for a company in China that Im having trouble with. Pay pal said if I send the merchandise back they will help. I did NOT receive 1/2 the merchandise, I tried to explain to pay pal- I even forwarded them an email for the company from China that stated they will credit my charge card via pay pal for the merchandise NOT receive BUT pay pal is not doing anything about that. They said they can only charge back the ENTIRE amount I originally charged. Chinas disclosure says if NOT AS DESCRIBED they will send a returned postage paid envelope but when I tried to get one they refused so it would cost me 22.00 to send it back which I wont do since I already paid money for the wrong shipped items/missing items! Pay pal is not doing their part at all.

40

I was charged 3 times for a subscription I should not have been charged once for. I (my ignorance) was unaware that paypal could not only draw funds from you paypal wallet but could take debits directly from your bank account without further authorization (other than your initial sign up). NEVER NEVER deal with Paypal customer support. Would be nice if we could shut them down.

60

I bought items of clothing from a reputable company and used PayPal to pay them, no problem until the company send me a refund for said items, this showed on PayPal account that money was returned to them on 5th march. Despite three phone calls and several emails by myself PayPal customer support have openly lied telling me my bank has the money. It doesn't and now they say they do not have my refund even though my account shows they do. They have refused to honor my refund, ignored my email and calls argued with me and cause me to lose £44 I cannot afford to lose, their customer service is appalling and they are getting away with daylight robbery.

20

I was charged on my credit card for an item I did not receive or ordered. Now I'm angry and will submit a formal grievance against Paypal to the BBB.

60

I was asked to go to Resolution Center to submit some required documents for account restoration, to prove my ID, provide Bank statement and prove of address. All these did I responded to them individually by providing all necessary documents.

Now Paypal limits my account because of that. If I have gone against any of their policy let them state it.

I understand PayPal’s need for holding funds for credit charge back purposes, however a review of my account history for the last months will reveal a very low chargeback rate as well as a very high customer-satisfaction rate. I feel that any reasonable person would conclude that holding my entire balance for 180 days is excessive and my be viewed by some as disciplinary or as already stated, an unnecessary abuse of power and perhaps even contrary to the laws of some states.

I have previously requested a review/appeal of my case which was denied with these words:

*** PAYPAL RESPONSE BELOW ***

We regret to inform you that we're initiating the closure of your PayPal account because of certain activity that took place relating to your account. This measure is necessary to protect us from potential financial losses.

Your right to appeal: We always perform a thorough investigation before deciding to initiate the closure of an account. However, we appreciate that from time to time misunderstandings can happen. If you wish, you can appeal our decision. Just get in touch with us and let us know. You can do so by logging in to your PayPal account at www.paypal.co.uk and clicking 'Contact Us' at the bottom of any PayPal page.

Your account balance during the account closure period:

This decision means we must oversee the appropriate movement of any money currently in your account. A gradual approach to account closure allows us to part ways, while considering any liabilities that may arise. Our aim is to review any valid buyer claims lodged against you. We must allow enough time for claims to be filed as these can take several months to be reported and resolved.

How will the process work? We'll hold any money currently in your account in accordance with section 2 below. We do this because it provides sufficient time for most claims, such as chargebacks, to be filed by other parties. These claims can result in financial loss. If your account balance is below zero, you'll have to settle the amount owing on your account to avoid further action.

Our first review at 30 days from the date of this email will calculate our exposure and we'll release any excess funds to you at that time for withdrawal. We'll communicate this to you at the time. This review can result in 3 different outcomes as detailed in sub-sections 2(1)-(3) below. We'll always communicate the outcome of our reviews to you.

We'll release your entire remaining balance to you for withdrawal. Please note that if you choose not to withdraw the money at that point we reserve the right to re-coup any money at the next review. We'll release a part of your remaining balance to you. If this is the case we'll inform you about how much money can be withdrawn. We'll then conduct another review 30 days later that will repeat the process detailed under section 2. We won't release any funds to you if we deem our exposure to be greater than or equal to your available balance.

Your account may be reviewed up to 5 times; at 30 day intervals until day 180 from the date of this email. If any money remains in your account at day 180 it will be made available for withdrawal at that point.

Accounts with a balance owing to PayPal:

If your account shows an amount owing to us, you must add funds to ensure that the balance returns to zero. Please note that we reserve the right to recover the amount by legal means. A copy of our User Agreement can be found by clicking 'Legal Agreements' at the bottom of any PayPal page. Our right to close your PayPal account, and the retention of funds, are covered in our User Agreement under sections 10.2 and 10.3. At PayPal, our primary concern is making sure that your money is secure. We do this by routinely reviewing some transactions. We’ve placed your withdrawal under review and this will last for up to 1 business day. If it passes our review, we’ll release it and the regular withdrawal timeframe will then take effect. If we can’t release it for any reason, we’ll contact you.

Why was I charged $5.00 to play Slotmania? I paid $5.00 for the coins and not also another $5.00 to facebook. I want it credited to my Paypal account and also do not want to be charged anything further from Facebook.

60

I simply cannot access my paypal account. It used to be so easy, now it's about impossible. I copy all the codes correctly and hit continue and all I get is a new set of codes. To hell with 100 words here, I'm just completely fed up and want to access my money, NOW. It's mine. Only crooks make my own money hard to verify. I tried plenty, now is your time or legal action.

40

I tried to cancel my paypal account. Customer service sent an email telling me it was closed. Then they charged me with a bogus charge on my credit card of almost $4,000 from some bogus company called Raph Enterprises! I tried to get them to take it off but they just sent my emails back telling me that I needed an account number. They never assigned me an account number. it's not fair that I have to endure this kind of treatment. I plan on warning others of this problem.

I purchased a smart self balance scooter from eBay recently as a present for my 12 yr old son. The publicity about safety concerns made me get it checked. The trading standards have confirmed the following: The product listing and Plug power supply were examined and technical documentation I sent them and their findings are as follows: The product was supplied with a 2-pin plug which was not fitted with a fuse. It is a requirement of the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994 that all plugs are a standard UK 3-pin plug which complies with BS1363 and must be fitted with a fuse which complies with BS1362. As a result, the plug supplied with your product is non-compliant and poses a risk of electric shock.

The power supply is not marked with the manufacturer’s name which is a requirement of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994. As a result, the power supply is non-compliant. 20,000 hover boards which have been stopped at UK ports since October 2015, 88% have been found to be unsafe. The main issues are exploding batteries, fires and electric shock. Based on my experience of these products, and the other non-compliances identified, it is likely that the hover board itself will be non-compliant and may pose a safety risk. The ‘EC Declaration of Conformity’ supplied by the eBay trader is not a valid EC Declaration of Conformity because it is issued by a test house rather than the manufacturer. Only a manufacturer can issue an EC Declaration of Conformity. This document is a legal requirement before placing a product on the market within the EU.

The eBay trader has supplied technical documentation in relation to the EMC Directive and RoHS. While these do apply to the product, there are several other pieces of legislation which should apply, perhaps most importantly the Low Voltage Directive. No documents relating to the Low Voltage Directive have been supplied by the eBay trader. As such the technical documentation is currently inadequate.
Based on these observations, I can confirm that the product is non-compliant with relevant UK and EU product safety legislation. (Trading standards Thurrock Council)

On this basis I am requesting a full refund. Please respond upon receipt of this email. I have purchase confirmation and PayPal receipt as well as an email from sfrworld confirming the product is safe, has a Samsung battery and testing document. The battery is Chinese! The docs are not valid and the product is not safe! Please send me your email address I will send you all information and photographs.

40

Never received part that was ordered using Paypal online. E-mail was sent the seller, but they never reply back to me. Now I am trying to complain to Paypal corporate but could not find their contact information online.

20

On 12/27/2015 on opening my email, I discovered an invoice from e-Bay (# 76454784 FOR $345 + $12 postage and $8 taxes for an iPhone 5) charged by Paypal. The date on the invoice is 12/25/15 at 1:01 PM. Please investigate and tell me where this charge came from and how it can be cancelled. I have no active credit card with Paypal (Citibank....3440 has expired.)

I purchased a pair of short fashion rubber wellingtons, on 6.11.15 via paypal through wantclothing. £16.49 was taken from my bank account. I have never received the boots. I have been unable to contact paypal direct as my email address is not recognized but this is the email address used to purchase the item. Please advice me what I can do to gain my money back either by contacting the Paypal corporate office or calling customer service.

60

I bought 83 trafficmonsoon adpacks through PayPal on 10/11/15 and my account have not been credited with them. I bought the adpacks because I saw PayPal at the bottom with their logo and new it was legit. After I got robbed, I called the PayPal customer complaint line to tell them they are support a scam business, but they said they have no control over how people use their service. It seems to me like a company like this should care more about how their services are used and look into refunds!

40

I bought a rug from India the end of July. When it came two months later it was the wrong rug. I contacted the PayPal seller and they told me to send a photo of the rug and a code number which was on the rug, which I did. E-bay told me that the seller is responsible for the shipping if I return it. The cost of me paying for the shipping would come to almost the price I paid for the rug. I contacted the seller a couple of times for a solution without a response. Then they tell me that they shipped the rug and it arrived at my address which they know that the rug that I got was the wrong one. They never shipped the one I ordered. I would be a fool to pay the shipping to send the wrong rug back (I would be paying 2x for the rug) and I would not trust that they would then send the rug I ordered. Now I see that they are no longer in business or are the 2 other companies that sold the same rugs. I think they are all the same. Because I ordered from one place and it was shipped by the other one.

I was trying to help my wife get a refund on a PayPal cash card and it has turned out to be a nightmare that has lasted for weeks. It should not be impossible to get refunded the money. Each time when I call customer service or my wife calls the rep gives a different way to process the transaction which never works out. Is it possible that no one in your company knows the right way to do a refund. It is very alarming to me because I have a PayPal account with you and if you are as unorganized as you appear to me, I wonder if I should be doing business with you. There are so many different ways we were mislead that I can't list all my PayPal complaints here because of the space in this form. I would be nice if anyone if your company knew what the h*** you were talking about. A person should not have to talk to a supervisor to get something done. You need to do a little soul searching to improve your results when people try to do business with you. I hope you take this complaint serious and maybe you could have a dept that handles these problems and solve the problem when things don't go as they should and these issues wouldn't wind up being listed as a complaint. It would be a shame for you to loose business about things you are not aware of to correct before it messes up your bottom line.

I paid paypal for an item and complained when it wasn't delivered as promised 3 days later i emailed the seller 4 times rang him number disconnected but paypal still made me wait 11 days saying that had to wait for seller reply. 20 people paid for goods from this seller from 1st august and complained there goods had not del. ebay should have removed this seller earlier knowing he wasn't delivering its now 27th august and I'm still waiting for refund he has today been removed from ebay. The item was a birthday present, spoiled birthday as i was not willing to give paypal anymore money. paypal money back policy is a joke giving the seller 10 days to respond .. should i have received the goods would pay pal wait 11 days for there money i don't think so paypal need to change there policy i will not be using pay pal again you are a joke.

20

I am sure I am wasting my time, but I have been very taken advantage of by you and one of your merchants. I was lied to by at least 5 of your customer service operators, and also was charged a fee of 30.00 by my bank due to one of your operators as well. So on top of me being out my 160.00 for the item in dispute, I also am out another 30.00 from my bank.....I bought a product from the merchant and when I got the product it had serious issues...the hair is so dry, and it is all tangled..Then when you try and brush it the hair starts coming out in huge chunks and the glue has got into the top of hair and it is coming apart ..This item is 100% not usable...I have not even cut the plastic line that you use to size it that lets you wear it..I have had other extensions and have the special detangler products/spray and that would not work....

At this point I tried to contact the merchant for weeks and had no response, then guess what? I pull up their site and there was a huge warning on it from a attorney or a attorneys general saying that the site was taken down for fraud and for selling counterfeit and fake items...My product was supposed to be real human hair, and was obviously not, it also was the wrong length from what I ordered. The longer ones cost more, I ordered a 21 inch one, and got one just a bit over 16inches. It was also said it was a real HALO, and it was fake...So now I call PayPal and file a complaint that was declined...so I call back and your operator tells me not to worry, I will get my money back, I just need to call my bank and they put the dispute in and when they call PayPal I will get the credit...So the bank charged a 30.00 stop payment fee and I guess they called you, but my claim was denied by the bank and they said, no I need to go through PayPal...so again I call and PayPal does another claim that was denied saying it was a authorized charge...

Hello, I never said it was unauthorized, I said it was damaged...so again I was denied and your wonderful operator tells me how sorry they are it will be refilled and was assured I would get my money back..nope denied again saying I altered the item from the original condition....All I did was spray a little detangaler mist on it to try and get the tangles out...So again I call and was told it should not have been denied and to appeal it...so did it again, and now denied for a 4th time...I have been lied to and was sold a fake item from your merchant who was closed down for fraud and still have not got my money back...I have used PayPal for years and done hundreds of dollars worth of transactions this is not right...you need to help me out and get something done...I have done nothing wrong and been dealing with this for over 2 months now...What are you going to do to help me?

I tried using my PayPal account on their website to transfer money via charge card to family friend in Germany from Hawaii. I understood there would be a fee. Strike One. The website defaulted and charged my checking account. After I personally typed in Credit card number. Strike 2. They couldn't cancel transaction mistake. I had to call bank and pay a $30 bank fee to put a stop payment. Then. Got the card charged. Minus the fee to send money. Had to wait 5-7 business days. Strike 3. Strike 4. They double dipped and charged my friend in Germany to withdraw the money. So I got charged to send and charged and to withdraw.

Double dipped? Would've have been cheaper. More affordable and quicker if I just went to my local bank in Hawaii to wire the money. Strike 5. The restrict my friend in Germany a withdraw limit. $500 limit per month to withdraw. She need $2345 immediately to purchase plane ticket. Now money is locked in with PayPal in Germany. And she can't buy ticket without full amount. So now she can't purchase ticket at it original quote. Due to time restrictions to purchase ticket. Had I known it was going to be this much hassle. I wouldn't use PayPal for this crappy service.

I did not get my last 3 money orders using PayPal. I did not get the money but it's confirmed that PayPal did. I am a big time shopper on eBay and would like this resolved!

My PayPal account has been accessed by third parties and my credit card used for fraudulent payment. I am seriously concerned about security of this website and have already removed all my account details. After losing a whole day to try to resolve the problem with my bank as after hanging an hour on the phone and trying to get through to their customer services I have decided to give another go and contact them as per advice from my bank. After conversation with one of the advisers, who made unnecessary comments and made me feel uncomfortable with regards to the case and the fact that the issue coming from their side and have nothing do with me, except that I am the owner of the account, I am seriously disappointed with their service.

Considering the fact that I've long been a user of their services and up until now have always regarded them as a good organization. The whole frustration coming from the fact that my card details have bee accessed by a third parties which should never happen. Also, the customer service of the company should at least empathize with me instead of pointing the fact that this situation was not their fault and indirectly suggesting that this situation in fact was caused by myself. I have sent the complaint through already to the company ad received "template" answer which was ridicules as was nothing to do with the content of my email. Then I went on Twitter with a hope that someone will have a closer look and pay more attention to my case.

I was asked to follow PayPal and direct message a bit more details - no response whatsoever - I just have been ignored. I personally think that is ridicules, not just a service but also the way how I've been treated. The amount of time and stress I've gone through is indescribable and the service I've received, left big scars on my trust and loyalty with this company.

Paypal took money from my bank account instead of using the money I had in Paypal. This caused me 3 NSF charges amounting to over $100. After song and dances with two service reps,and two supervisors There was no resolution except for the last paypal supervisor telling me to basically "pound salt". 1st they said I didn't have the money (which I showed them I had).

Then 2nd they said it was US funds not Canadian(only one account - how can that be?). Then 3rd they told me they took payment because a deposit transaction occurred at 5:26 Am and the paypal withdrawal was at 11:59 PM thus leaving me short of funds as the deposit occurred after the withdrawal. Hmmm I always thought 5:26 AM was more than 18 hours before 11:59 PM.

Then 4th they told me there was a reversal after the withdrawal date. My wife and I reviewed several times the account statement and there was no reversal showing until almost 1 hour after this whole messy conversation started. Some how the accounting had been changed or updated in that hour!The supervisor's attitude "take us to court.. we don't care". He had no intention of resolving the issue.

Elite Business is the website I built for a client, and as part of the holistic service I provide I set up all the associated accounts, including one on PayPal. the client did not pay me for my work so I changed the passwords on the website, the hosting account and with the domain registrar. I forgot to change the password on the PayPal account until it was too late, due to the client’s repeated assurances that he would actually pay me. He is using the PayPal account, and the email address, which belongs to me. Fast Domain can confirm this if necessary.

This means that the client can receive money using an email address that belongs to me when he has no right to it at all. If he commits a crime using it I could end up in prison. For this reason it is imperative that it is removed from his PayPal account at once. When I contacted them to ask them to remove the email address or compel the client to remove it, they advised me to go to the police, who say it is a civil matter and will not help.

Please make PayPal remove the email address from his PayPal account or tell me how I can go about getting this done without recourse to a solicitor. Since the client has about five addresses, all of which have turned out to be fake, getting hold of him to serve papers on him for legal proceedings may well prove impossible and there’s no point in asking him to do it because he is a criminal.

I purchased a wedding dress from a website in China inweddingdress.com. I know it was my mistake but everything looked so professional and they have hundreds of positive reviews which I think are fake. Anyway, I paid with Paypal and after 3 months of waiting I filed a complaint with Paypal. After two weeks they sent my an email telling me that they’ve decided in favor of the seller So I lost my money. Please don’t buy anything from China online.

I made some online purchases via eBay using Paypal as a payment method this year as gifts for the holiday season. However, two weeks later, I received a statement from my bank saying that I was $90 in the hole with overdraft charges. Upon further investigation, I found that Paypal had made the charges to my savings account, which had no money in it, instead of my checking account, where I had intended the funds to come from. So I called paypal, and after a few minutes of this petty arguing, the customer service rep flat out told me that I was lying and that none of his supervisors would believe me. Paypal has not been kind to me…
