Blocked money, enormous frustration
Paypal sucks for numerous reasons – creating monopoly on ebay, taking huge 2 – 5% fees, transaction interference and horrible customer service, charging 10EUR/minute for a phone call WITHIN the EU.
What I hate mostly about them is their negligence.
For instance – for years I’ve been a loyal customer of those douche-bags. I have paid my fees, and waited for weeks to get like 200$ to my bank card (because bank accounts are not accepted from where I am). I never complained once.
However a few months ago I got 10000$ from an ebay auctions in the matter of 2 days.
THEY BLOCKED MY ACCOUNT 2 CONSECUTIVE TIMES! I’VE SENT ALL KINDS OF DOCUMENTS, AND SENT ALL KINDS OF EXPLANATIONS WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM.
Finally my account was unblocked, but when I made a transaction of 1000$ they blocked it once again. I changed my password again and re-confirmed my debit card (probably half the world has my card number now).
And it’s the same for almost 1 month now. They don’t care.
What makes me mad is that people just take it. We have to find another online auction. I mean ebay is great, but their subsidiary PayASS (that they forced on to people) is horrible, and is in violation of several US laws, including trade laws and the non-cartel (competitiveness laws).
This is unacceptable and I think that we have to do something about it.
Thank you!
