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!

By Lisa

Recently I had a name change and tried to update it with Ebay. They wanted copies of my old driver’s licence, new drivers licence and name change certificate. Well my old licence was given in to the DMV so i didn’t have that any more, and any emails to the effect got the same canned response “both licences and certificate”… having sent the info just got me an email saying it was missing my old licence. I gave up and closed my account after spending all the money so i wouldn’t have to pay fees to get it back.

then i just opened a new account on a different credit card with my current name. even got a second bonus 5$
