How Does PayPal Make Money With My Money?

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, there are approx. 100,000 complaints outstanding at PayPal (Are any of these yours?). In many instances disputes can run on for months leaving people frustrated and out of pocket as they are unable to access their accounts. So what happens to the millions of dollars tied up in frozen accounts and disputes? Well, here is a clip from the San Francisco Chronicle that basically sums it up:

U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel of San Jose refused to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks class-action status on behalf of thousands of PayPal customers nationwide. A common allegation is that the company brushes off or stalls customer grievances for months and meanwhile freezes the customer's account and pockets the interest (So that's how they make their money!). No wonder they freeze so many accounts!

Just wanted to add to your list of complaints for Paypal, having used this payment process for 3 years by buying on Ebay,I was told I would have to wait for for a statement from my credit card company and verify my membership number before using them again. This came about because I had not responded with the correct password, after the third time putting it in the system correctly finally they wrote me this comment. I must admit it was a convienent way to pay but very inpersonal and controling. I do not care to use Paypal ever again!!!!
