Paypal sucks ass

[Blitzed]

In between confirming my bank account... that took fucking 4 days, now the transaction has taken place and I have to wait ANOTHER fucking 4 days atleast for it to transfer into my account.



I LOVE waiting 2 weeks to get paid for selling something

Dude get the paypal atm card with the visa logo...you can pull money out of your paypal account through a atm or use it as a check card. Actually it's a mastercard but either way it's free..

I made a $350 paypal transaction and Paypal accidentally took out $3,500 out of my account!!!!
It took them a couple of days to give it back! They suck!!!!

[Zapper2003]

Which means you had more than 3500 in your account to begin with. I hate you.

Paypal is convenient but it is NOT a bank. Your funds are not guaranteed. Popular consensus has in any given transaction PP favors the buyer over the seller, for whatever that's worth.

Listen to this crap. I used to sell some crap on ebay back in the ricer/ignorant days. Had a paypal account and all that jazz. I bought a body kit for my old eclipse and they swore up and down it was shipped.. 700 bucks down the drain... anyway I sold a 10lb NOS bottle and shipped it and the guy swore he never did get it... something was fishy...


and........ after selling all that ricer crap locally I found out that I had a whopping 1500 dollars missing from my account(personal bank account) charged to paypal.. paypal wouldnt pay it claiming that I made all the payments..

Anyway the bank paid if off since I had my identity stolen and had all kinds of crap comming in from pomona california or something like that. I shut down the account and signed a deal with my bank saying I wouldnt use a paypal account with my bank account.
over 3k worth of money issues in the end. a hacked ebay and paypal account and i got screwed over hard..

dont let friends be ricers.. especially if they buy a lot of parts via ebay/paypal.

Great Link.

I know MANY that are big Ebay sellers and ALL have been screwed by PayPal.

One ? to all that think Pay Pal is ok. Wait until you have an issue and can NEVER speak with anyone it's ALL via email. Even when I found a # after a hour of searching NO one to talk to just leave a message.

Now the automated maze of menu's begins. The last time I had tried to reach someone I was on hold for 20+ min. then had to leave a message and got a response via email.









From the book Pay Pal Wars written by former employee's.

Here's a another insightful remark, "After all, the company's average employee was about twenty-five years old. At thirty-two Peter [Thiel] was the second oldest person, and the rest of the business side of the company was around three to six years younger." (Page 24) Sure exuberance of youth is a great motivation, but it's not known to create stable, reliable, ethical businesses.

For example, let's see how they handle a common problem: customer service complaints. "From my desk in the old ping pong room, I noticed a steady stream of irate account holders showing up in the nearby reception area, typically because they had trouble using our online form to request a check for their account balance. ... the next day we removed our address from the Website." (Page 64) Notice the problem and solution. Instead of correcting the online form, or making it easier to use, they choose to just remove their address from the site. This seemingly minor point demonstrates PayPal's solution to a problem: Don't correct the problem at it's source, just make the problem less painful to them. This is exactly the same mind set described by Former Employee#1, when dealing with fraud losses. Don't stop the fraud, don't go after the criminals, just make it less painful for PayPal.
