Question

Has anyone else had problems with their paypal?! I am now dispairing as they have frozen my account and I came accross this website:

www.paypalsucks.com

I wonder if I'll ever get my money back!

Answer 1

I have been using paypal for quiete sometime now as alot of online retailers use them and it makes it easy to pay without giving your personal information out.

Problems with paypal .. OH YEAH! I have had numerous problems and after looooong battles have had things resolved, the odd ones I have lost some money, not a huge amounts thank goodness.

My recommendation, keep your email you send to them, from your sellers/buyers and provide them with as much detail as possible. It will be the only way to get things resolved. Oh yeah and above all .. patience .. it is a requirement when dealing with them.

Good luck and I hope you get things resolved soon :)

Answer 2

I have just signed into My Paypal area, after reading your question, and it seems fine. But yes, I can agree with the bad reports mentioned on the paypalsucks.com site.

Did you know ? They are actually owned by ebay.

If ebay don't have contact numbers made instantly noticeable, then why should paypal. But hearing that, I have also heard that 'Paypal' are actually a Bank in London.

GDJ.

Answer 3

I have been using paypal for years and years and have never had a problem ever! if theres a glitch just call them on the phone and they will quickly help.

Answer 4

well my dad has used paypal once or twice directly and once or twice through ebay and he hasn't come across any problems? maybe its just bad luck or maybe its beginning to become a problem - just try and contact paypal if not complain to someone/something like watchdog.

Answer 5

I've been with paypal for years and never had a problem, guess its just one of those things. But you are entitled to an explanation for the frozen account.

Answer 6

I've never had a problem with PayPal and their customer service is excellent.

Answer 7

to be fair the only time paypal freeze accounts is if

1- you have a pending case against you

2- you have exceeded your spending/receiving amount making it appear as though you aren't a private seller but in fact a business

3- they have found outside activity on your account and are investigating,

if none  of these are the case then email them via the link on their contact page and someone will try to help you asap.

been a customer of paypal for years and have had glitches but were sorted out immediately
