join Paypal as a faster way (I thought) to receive my paycheck from Paypal to transfer to my bank, as my employer is in Florida and uses Paypal often. It has been 7 days not included weekends since I made a request and I still have not receive my transfer from Paypal to my bank account. So the money I have left in Paypal I requested to close my Paypal account and to transfer the remaining amount of money to my bank account. I don’t trust Paypal and would not recommend anyone else to trust this company. For me its back to US postal service.

On 10th April 2015 I ordered an item from a private seller on eBay. The cost was £52.50 including postage. The seller informed me the same day that as she no longer had the item she had refunded the money into my PayPal account. This refund showed up in writing but not in my actual account. I telephoned PayPal and was told the money would be in my account By 17th April, this didn’t happen and I rang them again to be told it takes 7 working days to receive the money, which should have been today (29th April) I again rang up PayPal inquiring where is the money and after half hour trying to get thru I was told they would look into the matter. I still have not received the £52.50. PayPal are quick enough to take funds from our banks and accounts but are much slower on repayments. This is most certainly a very unequal playing field!! I will close my PayPal account once I’ve received my money (if I ever do), it is so unfair!!!

As a new customer PayPal charge my credit card 1 USD then reverse it back which was normal, all the sudden they charged me 1.95 USD then another 1.95 USD and topped-up my PayPal account with this amount , tried to contact their customer service to reverse this amount again never get a clear answer and never reverse my money back, I tried to add another credit card as I need to buy something exceed the limit of the registered credit card, again they kept charging me 1 USD and 1.95 for 3 or 4 times and never get this money back as well never reversed back the money they stole from my card without my request or permission at the beginning.
Their customer service never ever give me a solution to my issue they want me to add more credit cards.
They used my credit card with a transactions then topped up my PayPal account so i will be stuck with them. to protect my self and save my credit card from being used without my request or permission by PayPal i have disabled both of them and report all those transactions to my bank.
PayPal are thieves ! and I have the e-mails between me and their customer service confirming my story

I used to rent out rooms to medical students that need a place to stay while they do their rotations in Miami. I take 50% up front to hold the room. This particular person sent me the money via PayPal. We had quite a few discussions regarding the room and the refrigerator in the room. She wanted a full size fridge, which I told her I could not do. When she arrived her daughter loved the room, but she was dissatisfied with the size of the fridge and chose to leave. She asked for her money back and I refused, because I held the room for her. She filed a claim with her credit card company claiming she was allergic to animals and that I had not disclosed that I have animals in my home. You would think that if she was really allergic to animals, she should have asked me if I had animals, but she did not. It is all a lie anyways. PayPal took the money from my account, which is someone’s security deposit. They claimed they fought for me, but the credit card company seems to be judge and jury and now I’m out $600. I will never use then again and I encourage everyone to cancel their PayPal account.

For two years I tried to delete a credit card that had been terminated, Paypal continually blocked it by saying there were outstanding charges, which was not true. Then I sold an item on eBay and they said I had to give them my bank account information to sell an item. When I tried to delete the bank account they blocked the deletion saying that there were outstanding charges, not true. Then I indicated that when I bought something, Paypal was to use the credit card. Every time I changed it to the credit card, Paypal changed it back to the bank account. The last straw was when I ordered a product on line and used Paypal. I entered my current shipping address which was new two months ago. When the charge went thru Paypal changed the shipping address to the address I had moved from two months ago and the item was delivered to another state. When I tried to terminate the account it said that I had outstanding charges (not true) and it would not terminate the account. These people need t be investigated by the fed for fraud or just blatant incompetence.

I wanted to get rid of some of the items in my closet for more space and some extra cash. I sold my first four items with no problems, but after selling my REAL Chanel bag (for about $4,000 with proof of receipt and authentication), the buyer claimed it was fake or “not as described” and claimed a dispute.
I had decided to refund the buyer, not because she was right but because I had sympathy. Now, my PayPal account is frozen, the money was given back to the buyer, AND I did NOT even receive the bag nor did I receive a tracking number. I called PayPal several times to fix this issue; after uploading my files to prove the bag is real and that I had purchased it, I was guaranteed immediate rechecking on the account to see if they could pull the limitation. Nothing happened. Nothing. I have over $1,000 in my account and I can’t receive my funds. I did NOTHING wrong or illegal and now lost a bag and all the money I made for selling it. THANKS PAY PAL
