I lodged a complaint against a vendor for delivering an item "materially different" that I ordered. I had the original invoice (paid) showing I ordered a velvet floor length dress. I received a poo... See more

Banned for LIFE on Personal and Business Account
I used PayPal to invoice customers for custom soap orders. I had CBD skincare on my website, but was not using the platform to sell CBD products. I had a special e-commerce platform specifically to be legit with the CBD products (Square). Just because I had the items on my website they banned me for life on both my personal and business accounts, which is insane. I don't even sell soap or CBD skincare anymore, but I am SOOOOO dangerous that I am banned for life? Now I only sell my artwork, but will never be able to use PayPal or Venmo because they ASSUMED I was using their platform in a way that I was not. They never asked for proof or explanation, they just banned me outright. CBD isn't even illegal, you can buy it over the counter at Walgreens, but I am a threat to society, apparently.
Complete fraud
I invoiced a customer and it was noted in 2 locations paying with cc is a 3% fee. he paid with PayPal and the fee was taken out from the start. He paid 1670.64 and left me with 1611.84. I did not know off hand when I transferred money to bank but when i found out I contacted payer and he asked to refund money and would pay a different way. I did and PayPal went into my account and did an e check for the original amount of 1670.64 and left me with 58.80 less than I started with. Of course contacting them is a nightmare and when I did they said that it was in their service agreement. I have had account and have not read service agreement in years but you think they would alert you to not refunding fees before you click the button or a pop up would come up. Not them….
A law until themselves
Awful company that seems to think they are answerable to no one. They freeze accounts and keep any money in it for 180 days. Pure theft. Beware, and if you do have any money in the account, move it out ASAP.
You treat me like lifeless human being on top my money 😠😠😠
I use #3500 of my currency to call you and you guys dont pick up to help me solve my problem with my account. You people are the worst 😭😭😭 how could you do this. To my account

From a buyers perspective
I'm not a seller. So from a clients perspective I appreciate not having to enter my CC details everywhere. Absolutely awesome. I remember once I received a customer service / survey call from Paypal Singapore. This person, I can't remember the name was one of the most kind and pleasant strangers I've spoken to about feedback, suggestions etc. Then they just deposited 10$ into my account for no reason. Wish I could have gotten her a cup of coffee with that. I enjoyed the conversation :-)
Crooks,denied withdrawal
Useless!
Useless!! You wake up one day and find your money has been blocked permanently and you can't use the money. I am so dissapointed with this company not even once!!!!!
Ordered item never got it
Yes I ordered an Rc airplane from banana hobby thru PayPal well long story short I'm out of $180.00 and no plane FedEx said they delivered it was left outside nowi live in an apartment complex in the rough part of town the package should of gotten a signature but it was delivered and I guess stolen PayPal denied my claim and Banana Hobby never even responded to me I have multiple items delivered and FedEx has always knocked or left a ticket that they passed not just left package outside my door in the Hood just makes no sense PayPal doesn't protect your purchases like the stated they do what as joke!!!!!!
Do not trust PayPal buyer protection
Do not trust PayPal buyer protection. Buyers are not protected AT ALL. PayPal works to help scammers and supports criminal activities.
They have taken access of my paypal and…
They have taken access of my paypal and hide behind their fake user agreement which is broad enough to justify randomly limiting people accounts and hold their money for 180 days! Don't use
I wish it will be alternatives to PayPal
They permanently limited my account without a reason although I provided all the needed documents
PayPal sent money to wrong person
PayPal sent my money I attempted to send my husband to someone else because my husband's cell phone used to be a woman's old number. Now after I finally reached someone live. I was told that the error was because the phone number I put in was one number off from my husband's. I know for a fact I got his number right but they attempted to make me in the wrong. I was lied to again when they told me that they would reach out to the woman that the money went to. How can they allow their employees to lie outright to someone. Longer story shortened I was told that they can't do anything and since I used the friends and family option to send the money I'm the one that is screwed. And now the woman has blocked me from contacting her. But legal actions will be done tomorrow. The BBB will be involved the FCC and local law enforcement also because after searching the woman's name I now know she is local to me.
We removed PayPal from our ecommerce…
We removed PayPal from our ecommerce websites because they side with buyers even when solid proof of delivery is provided! We paid 3% fees on each transaction so they made a lot of money from us. Their customer support is ignorant and wants to get rid of you. When you will go bankrupt, remember your wrong businesses practices!
I am a freelancer and i work on fiverr
I am a freelancer and i work on fiverr, i just receive a message from PayPal now that my account as been restricted for violation some rule. which is the sales of sexually oriented material....that sound stupid at first because i don't sell anything and i only use the account to receive my earning from fiverr which is a freelancing website....fiverr does not sell sex material.
SO I WILL LIKE TO KNOW THE REAL RESON WHY MY ACCOUNT IS BEEN RESTRICTED. BECAUSE THIS IS A SILLY MISTAKE FROM YOUR COMPANY FOR ACUSING ME OF SEXUALLY ORIENTED MATERIALS.
PayPal is nothing more then a fraud…
PayPal is nothing more then a fraud they act in concert with crooks and steal your money I will never use them
Would give zero or negative stars!
Would give zero or negative stars but not an option again! Do not rely on paypal to help you resolve a dispute for products you don't receive. All they do is check a tracking number that could be phony and then tell you it was delivered when i know it clearly was not!
They will not be there to help you the buyer. I highly recommend you use an alternate source for paying for products online or other. Am going with AlignPay now as they are there to help you where Paypal does not and just doesn't care.
By far the worst Company I've dealt…
By far the worst Company I've dealt with. I had a chargeback for $212.26 and these Fecal-boxes decided to side with ALIPAY US. INC even going as far as covering for their Trash-ASS. These infidels think it's funny when they steal your hard earned $ for there GarbageTruck-Idiot agenda. I would never use this service again. I hope PayPal will see the Power of ALLAH in their Community. 🖕☝️🤡
PayPal banned me just like that!
PayPal banned me just like that!
Without any reasonable explanation or remedy.
I'm still trying understand this mirage of a company
It would take a miracle to close a PayPal account
Careful! it is easy to open a PayPal account, and almost impossible to close it. I have been trying for a month, bouncing from department to another with the "help" of robot that does not give the option of talking to a representative. Closing it because the customer service is very bad
