Default Calling all terrorist....target: Pay Pal

Well I am officially totally pissed about Pay Pal. This is going to be kind of long, grab a beer and some chicken and kick back nogs.

I bought three Xbox 360's and a Playstation 3 from a guy on eBay for a decent price. I knew I could make $100 a piece off them and some decent seller feedback, so cool. I sell one, no problem. Sell the other three: Account Limited....ahhh ----.

Well they ask for my suppliers info, copy of my ID, and proof I had the item at the time. Sent all that. Get an email from them saying unable to lift account limitation at this time due to there being other accounts linked to this one with a negative balance. Well back a few years ago I had an account that I sold a PS2 on. Well about half a month after I sold it I moved. No longer had access to the email I used (was one through Bellsouth and they lock it when you term your account back then). Also changed banks so I just said screw it and opened a new account. So the buyer apparently opened a case saying he didn't get it, and since I didn't have access to the email I didn't know. -$295

Well that's the one they had linked it to. So I gave them the tracking number, they don't care I had 10 days to respond back then and didn't. Ok what the hell ever, gave them the $295. I just want my other $1200. Log in....all that is taken care of. Still locked...wtf Some dip----- that bought one of the Xbox 360's files a claim saying not as described cause the box was opened. The auction stated OPENED TO MAKE SURE ALL ITEMS WERE THERE. All the accessories were still in the factory heat sealed bags. What-the------ever...I agree to give him a refund minus shipping. He closes claim.

Log in....Account Limited...new email: Linked to another account that is limited. Really getting pissed at this point. Call them. A account I opened about a year ago was limited needing ID, suppliers, proof of items etc etc. This was when I was thinking about opening a business selling some car parts here and there. So now I have to resend the exact same information to them. Can't they just use it from the current one....nope, has to have this account name on it. That's the only difference. So now I have to pay $5 to send another damn fax.

I have come to the conclusion that they just are trying there damnedest to keep my money as long as they can. Oh and not to mention now eBay has suspended my account for the same information. Can't they just share it since they are owned by the same people? Nope "different entities". Bullshit!!! It's damn funny that they flagged my Pay Pal account and all of a sudden the same day they suspend my eBay account for the same information!

Cliffs: Pay Pal are a bunch of bitches someone please steal another plane.

Haha, ---- Paypal and ---- Egay. I'll never sell anything on Egay ever again and Paypal is used ONLY when I have to. They are so greedy and fucked up and have to tax your *** on everything you do. I've heard this same exact situation so many times. It's nice they're trying to stop the arabian **** sucking scammers, but they need to have a brain about it and not ---- with people over such stupid ----.

LOL yeah I don't. All my auctions ended one the same night. Apparently they all paid overnight and they locked my account by time I logged in in the mourning.

When Jorsher was trying to buy my turbo stuff from ebay, he had $5000 in his account that they locked him out of. Screw paypal, I use them sparingly. I hate accepting payment through it.

I think someone mention something about how you are SUPPOSED to have the right to claim for your balanced in your payal account in WIRTING, only after certain days of suspension.

i just wrote a 10 page legal study on paypal for my business law class....turned it in 2 days ago.lol. but yea. exactly whats happened to you is the most common dispute. found out that now paypal pretty much automatically sides with the buyer. its all bullshit. oh yea, when they lock your account, its gonna stay that way for 180 days unless you threaten suit and call the D.A. of cali and nebraska. and why do you think there so eager to lock accounts for 180 days.....it stays in an interest bearing account in there favor. millions of dollars are locked in there account at any given time. total bullshit. i read about 30+ pages of there terms of service and contract. more or less, the reason why paypal can do this is that there not considered a bank or credit company, therefore they arent binded by federal banking laws.


its all total bullshit

not sure about google. but yahoo has a pay service thats great. havent used it yet, but i have yet to see any problems out of it.
