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!

Dear Team,

Your website saved my bacon big time from making transactions etc. I read with horror your warnings and immediately rang my bank to get a stop put on account from anything other than my card. They were very obliging, however not so paypal.

When I tried to close my account with them I kept getting a message telling me my account details were wrong!! Honestly I should know my account number etc. They provided me with the last two numbers of my account and asked me to provide them with the full numbers before they would close the account. So how do I close the account if all I get is the message?

All I did was e-mail them telling me I was now weary of doing business with them and to immediately close my account. I also informed them my bank had been notified to.

This leads me to believe once you have registered with them you are stuck and stuffed!!

BEWARE ALL!!! And team keep up the good work. You are internet angels!!

Cheers,
Leah
