Holding funds for no reason

Ok, getting paid from PayPal when selling stuff from eBay is so much problems lately. Even when provide proof that the buyer has left feedbacks they still hold the money for up to 21 days. But they always make sure they take their fees but hold onto your money, The is total nonsense and I’m sure there’s much easier way of doing things. I totally understand that sometimes there’s issues but once the buyer left a feedback that their happy with the purchase PayPal should always release the ...

From my experience - no purchase protection

Everything seems wonderful and safe till you are scammed for the first time and the item you bought is not delivered? This is my experience. PayPal allowed me to start a dispute & claim but it's clear they did not review the evidence I presented. There was also no contact from them even though I offered additional evidence and information if necessary. After a month they concluded that they deny my claim because the item that had not been delivered to me 'was delivered to me' (contrary to ...

Paypal is trying to rob money from me

I made a currency exchange with someone last year. After months Paypal saying the person started a dispute and then Paypal is trying to charge the money from my account. I trusted Paypal as a bank, image you got paid and then someone else can still take your money from your bank, this doesn't make any sense. I have already sent the Paypal my bank statement which showing I paid that person same amount of money in other currency, but Paypal doesn't care at all, they tried to take zero ...

Your money isn't safe with them

Your money isn't safe with them, save your time and your nerves and look for an alternative, use them at your own risk.

Paypal's service is shameful

I have been trying to confirm my account for over two months, I can't link a bank account, I can't change any of my information because it doesn't update it. All I keep getting is automated replies followed by a thank you for your understanding. It's impossible to speak with a human or to solve any issues
