PayPal

Whenever I have to transfer money using PayPal, my heart sinks. Even as a guest, because "Payment via PayPal" as a guest never, ever works, after processing the payment I always just receive some random error. So, okay, though this is what I've been dreading, I guess I'll try to log in. Oh but no, despite the fact that I use a password manager with the most up-to-date password there (and have this problem with zero other sites), the password is "incorrect" and I have to get it reset. Fine, what did I expect?

Out of nowhere, they decided to permanently limit my account based on their “reviews”. No reasons given whatsoever, I had called to inquiry with no luck. And now, they are holding my money for another 180 days before they would release it back to me! Such a thief….

I am a CPA so am familiar with financial applications. I procured an acct with a Discover card. Card was hacked and got a new card (I had never been hacked for the the last 27 years of using a credit card). Used an entirely different credit card from another company and it was hacked. Canceled with that company and then my identity was hacked. My conclusion is that this company does not have secure controls. Shortly after my identity was stolen. I still have money with Paypal and cannot gain access to it. I have spent an hour with a service rep. We tried on the computer and on my I phone. I also tried using it to send a gift card and donate to a charity. Stay away from this company.

My company received $7,500 from client. PayPal wanted to withhold the money for 21 days but they took their large sum commission immediately. I cancelled the payment to be refunded to back to client. Customer service in India & Philippines can hardly speak English. Paypal NEVER DEPOSITED THE AMOUNT but ferociously tried on multiple occasions to withdraw it from my account! Bank alerted... How can funds which are on hold in paypal account and not deposited and released to my Bank be available for Paypal to withdraw such amount without my authorization! This same internal scam is well being done by Best Buy online purchases as well. I had to close my bank account, cancel paypal and file a police report... STAY AWAY FROM PAYPAL as they deceptively put the blame on scammers and hacker when in factually it's PAYPAL RUNNING THE SCAM... PRICELESS... FBI Needs to be notified..

PayPal banned by account on the payday without any reason. I was so happy that I was getting my payment, but paypal just banned my account. The customer service is bad too. On top of that they won't even tell me the reason for banning me. I also don't understand why some businesses only have paypal as a payout option.

Recently made a purchase through PayPal. My preferred funding method is my credit card, yet PayPal paid for the transaction with my bank account info. Contacted PayPal via messaging, and got the "run-around". Received instead the instructions on how to make a payment method preferred..., although my preferred payment method was ALREADY my credit card. When I pointed out the mistake, my concern was ignored. IMO, PayPal is not reliable.

PayPal is terrible and unethical company I have ever went through, maybe it’s good for seller or business people but it’s not worth it for buyers. There is no security or trustworthy for buyers who do payment through PayPal because if buyer cancel order or get refund from seller they charged person who receiving refunds and hold the funds as well, and you they don’t even bother to resolve the issue, if these funds are refunded by seller as goods and services, not even take a step to communicate with seller why buyer will get charged or reverse the seller transaction and request seller to pay refund properly.

I made an online purchase with Paypal (a ONE time purchase). The company I purchased from tried to charge me for a subscription (3 months later) and I disputed it. Paypal denied my dispute. Because this is linked to my bank account, I have no recourse. Also, Paypal put the burden of proof ON ME? They did not put it on the company to prove why they are stealing my money. Paypal is terrible.

Haven't used PayPal in years, but that was the quickest way to receive my reimbursement from SWA, from their holiday meltdown. I went on vacation using just the funds in my PayPal balance. I didn't have a PayPal debit card, but my gf did, so I just transferred money to her, as we needed it. But first day of vacation, PayPal randomly denied a transfer of $180. (Money needed to drive up to South Lake Tahoe). There was no explanation, only denied. And no way to fix it, because their phone lines are not operational past a certain time, till 6 am.

I tried to log into my PayPal account, only to be met with a demand for my cell phone number. Problem is, I don't have one, and I don't intend to get one. PayPal no longer values my 20+ years with them.
