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!

I have several bidders on eBay who expected to get their merchandise. I cannot ship because Paypal restricted the account with the funds in there. The only way the people can get their money is to say I’m a fraud and use their Buyers Protection to get their money back! I have a feedback of 62 on eBay and it’s 100%! Paypal will not try to get this issue resolved they want to do anything. I told the representative “How would you feel if somebody refuse to give you your paycheck and here’s a email address you can email about.” He said I would be mad too but nonetheless he doesn’t care because he still will get his paycheck in the meantime I will have accrued a bad reputation.
