FUCK Paypal

A few days ago I checked my email and noticed two mysterious items were paid for with my paypal account. These items totaled $2,000 ($1,400 of which was withdrew from my bank via e-check) Someone had logged into my account and made these payments to a foreign unverified account.

I immediately call paypal and inform them. Customer Support lady tells me there?s nothing she can do but file a dispute claim. I tell her I want an immediate resolution, and she says ?I?m sorry; it could take up to 2 weeks.? Luckily it only took about 24 hours. They rejected my claim stating that there wasn?t enough evidence to support it. I call them and they give me some more bullshit, and I ask to talk to a supervisor. He tells me he will file another dispute claim. About 5 hours later, I get an e-mail saying my paypal account has been shut down. I call them yet again and ask why. They said, they investigated my account and on December of 2004 I made a payment to an e-mail that was linked to an adult site (must not have been at the time, because I am not a fucking idiot). I lost my temper and flipped out. I was hung up on shortly after.

They refuse to talk to me when I call and mention my former account name, so I?m out 2 grand.

I lost my paypal account for reporting an incident that took place because of their lack in security. Go figure.

I will NEVER use paypal again.

I guess you would be jumping for joy if you filed a claim and they turned it around on you. I flipped out after being told my account would not be opened again under any circumstances a few times.

Sorry to hear that man.

Wow, it seems like they close your account everytime they would need to do a bit of work to fix a problem.

All the online payment solutions suck, they are all great untill any problems arise...
if ANY issue arises all of them will shut down your account and tell you to go fuck yourself...

Seems as though I hear more negative horror stories about Paypal these days than good ones. Sucks that they nailed you for $2k.

If you're located in the U.S. - try sending them a hardcopy snailmail with all the details of what happened and carbon copy it to the Federal Trade Commission:

Federal Trade Commission
600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580

Make sure you show that you've carboned it to FTC on the copy you send to Paypal so they're aware of it. If they realize you've taken the time to alert the FTC...it may prompt them to look further in to your account and hopefully make more effort to resolve the issue.

Good luck.

Only if my bank or lawyer get involved. Paypal already stated they don't give a fuck with their actions.

I would figure you would get a clue after 2-3 of your accounts get frozen that they don't want your business, heh

Sadly there are few if any good alternatives And before someone jumps in - for most stuff Epass ISN'T a usable alternative.
