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!

Paypal is trash. I was told by Paypal 1/2 year ago that they consider “item received significantly different than described” to be - auction said genuine Louis Vitton, and I received a fake. That is the example they gave me. I listed an auction with 2 perfectly clear photos, and a perfectly accurate description. Buyer bid like there was no tomorrow won the item, and then had a case of buyers remorse. She went out and got a slick willy to express his opinion as a expert – submit his opinion to Paypal on letter head stationary (as if we could’nt all sit down and come up with that!!!) and they found in her favor. She got exactly what my auction showed and stated, and Paypal handed her money back (well not quite, as they won’t get it from me. If they want to pay her fine, …………. but they won ‘t get it from me).

Be careful about paying any attention to what PP’s so called customer service reps tell you. I think a lot of them came from GE or better followed Meg Whitman from Hewlett Packard, and don’t know what they are talking about. This finding is in “appeal”, anyone want to place a wager………does anyone think they will reverse their decision. I wouldn’t put a plug nickel on it. From this moment forward, every email I send to anyone on eBay will include www.paypalwarning.com. Spread the word.
