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!

Ebay restricted my selling account because they “suspected” that i was dealing with counterfeit items. None of it is true. None. I contacted them and offered to mail them any item on my site that they thought was questionable. they said they don’t receive mail. I had thousands of pos. feedback, but apparently a few disgruntled buyers filed malicious, untrue accusations against me. The restriction is indefinite/permanent, and there is no appeals process. Thousands of dollars worth of business, down the drain. My excellent feedback meant nothing to them. They treated me like i was some kind of bootlegger/peddler on the street. i would’ve had more rights if i’d been an enemy prisoner detainee at Guanatanemo Bay. Are there other selling sites one can recommend? Ebid, Offer, and Bonanza don’t seem to get much traffic. Are there others? I still have my paypal account but I am sure it is just a matter of time until that gets restricted as well.
