paypal is a ripoff

After sending items and having recipt for sent items paypal reversed transaction in buyers favor cause of the loose claim that he didn't recive item. I have been battleing with them on this for a month now and they never even looked at evidence that I put forth. Even with tracking numbers and confirmation they decided against me. They are a crock of s*&%. They are a bunch of criminals and will never use again.

 

I use paypal often, never had a problem. Sorry you had a bad experience.

 

I use them... I had the opposite problem. Seller never sent me what I ordered but PayPal didn't believe me (ebay didn't either). How do you prove you didn't receive something? It's like proving there's no Santa.

I still use them... lack of choice that's really any better... but I don't do any major transactions this way, to protect myself.

Their customer support is non existent.

 

I have I think 89 points or whatever you call it on ebay, every one paid with paypal. Only one time I had a problem with a somewhat expensive item ($120) and paypal & ebay's resolution thing solved it very fast, and this was about 5 years ago, I'm sure it's even better now.

 

i agree with you they have no customer support. I have better responces from a brick wall. They need some compitition so there is better reports. I think from now on i will insist on getting tracking # from sellers if I were you. It is still fustrating. Roar

 

this just happend like today.

 

That's the main reason I require a signature for all items I ship. I have taken two people to court for paypal fraud and won both cases. I'm actually still getting a 30.00 check every month from the last guy who was forced to pay me research and travel time ontop of having to pay my wages for 5 days to drive to IN to appear for court.



I love paypal.

 

If the problem is that you sent stuff and they said they didn't get it, don't you have a tracking number to prove they got the stuff? Otherwise it doesn't make sense really unless you sent something USPS with no tracking info which isn't too bright in itself.

 

sent with tracking number. post office even said it was recived. They just didn't look at my information that I sent on this. that is why they can go to he double hockysticks.

 

how do you fight court over state lines. never done this.
