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 Rosella

I started to sign up for PayPal, over a year ago. However, I never completed the form.

When I got to the page for banking info, I closed it without filling it in. Three weeks ago, PayPal made two deposits to my bank account, amounting to $.67 cents.

The following day, they hit my account for $1550.

My PayPal account still reads, bank unverified. How did they do this?

I never put the name of my bank or any account numbers.

I live on S.S. so there was no money there for them to get.

Every Tuesday, they try to hit my account for $1550.

I now owe almost $90.00 in over-draft fees.

The deposit and withdrawals are all made with the same name “Julia Kornienko”.

This is a nightmare, and when will it stop!
