PayPal

ATTENTION! Everyone please read this review!ATTENTION WARING PayPal is no more then a scammers website and fraud with a familiar name
When talking to them, all they are interested in is getting ur banking info and personal identification drivers license ect. I've had one of them flat out amit it to me they
Have put a "hold "on one of my purchases and wants my photo ID to release it when my account shows no purchases at all so what kind of gong show is this, it was a 281.37 oder so I don't understand why in the world they would need this, ps I only gave 1 star because I had to give something to leave this

Had the worst experience with PayPal, order items 5 months ago as a guest account,

No delivery date from the seller for 6 weeks,

Kept chasing seller and PayPal without any help,

Send dispute through PayPal site and through my Credit Card company,

PayPal now says that as you have sent dispute through Credit Card they cannot support any more

So PayPal's claim that they provide 180 days guarantee is all fake...

Till today neither item has arrived nor I got my money back...

It was a chair, I bought another chair from the local market in Sep 2020 after 6 weeks of waiting for the delivery date from PayPal.

Terrible. Another frozen account here, money gone and no help from Paypal! Stay away from them or risk losing your money. Paypal should be shut down already for how many people they've done this too.

JUST TERRIBLE. WATCH THEY DON'T FREEZE YOUR ACCOUNT AND KEEP YOUR MONEY. STAFF IS HELPLESS, NEED TO LEARN CUSTOMER SERVICE. PAYPAL IS THE REASON I AVOID EBAY. RATHER USE ANY OTHER PAYMENT SYSTEM THAN PAYPAL.

I have been using PayPal for nearly a decade now. During that time I have sent money, received money, requested money, sent invoices, created subscription and buy now buttons as well as used other features. I find the site/services easy to use. I most often use PayPal to pay for items online, send friends or family money if they need it fast, track payments (work and online sales related), send invoices, and manage disputes. There are two things that I didn't like: (1.) if there's an issue with your account they can and will freeze it holding all of your money until the issue is resolved (while this has not happened to me I've seen it happen and that's scary) ----> (2.) They required me to provide my social security number in order to withdraw more than $500/month of my own money; I felt that was rather ridiculous considering they make money on everything. But given the sheer amount of people that use their service and that they have to cover their own asses I figure it was inevitable. Overall I'm satisfied with what I can do and how the site/services run.

Why does PayPal represent companies like Rose Wholesale which has a 48% rating and is a total fraudulent company
I do not understand why they would not stop supporting this Korean company from ripping people off all over the world

I have been using PayPal in Calif for purchases in the world for 19 years. I spend a lot of time in Brazil, But I am a US citizen and my accounts are in the US. I was sending a large amount of money from an inheritance to my Daughter and Son-in-law and PayPal stopped the transaction, closed my account and are holding the money for 180 days. It has been 15 days since they did this and I have no explanation from them yet. As far as I am concerned this is fraud.

I run a medium size ebay business - around $35,000 in sales a month. Paypal found an issue where they said I was non- compliant and my account would be disabled if I did not resolve the issue in about 10 days. I immediately resolved the issue, which takes 72 hours for them to review. 5 business days later, I received the exact same message about non-compliance. I call Paypal and an employee confirms, "it looks like they didn't review the issue, it looks like they assumed you had not fixed the issue yet, I'll submit it for review again which can take up to 72 hours". By the way, nobody will even look at the issue over the long weekend. 5 days later, my Paypal account is turned off. Can't accept payments, withdraw money, anything. I'm literally losing thousands of dollars a day - I call PayPal and they assure me there is nothing they can do, the department that actually addresses issues does not accept calls. I will just have to wait another 72 hours for them to review the issue AGAIN - And now I know their 72 hours is a standard five business days or more - so I guess I'll just take the week off work without pay.

Paypal customer service has been some of the slowest and most incompetent I have ever witnessed. I am immediately looking for payment alternatives. Avoid Paypal if at all possible, they can shut down your business at a moments notice.

As a buyer, despite all the bumf written by Paypal, it offers you ZERO protection, and complaints ALWAYS goes against the filer.

As a seller it is very expensive with a sizable chunk removed for their "fees"

Their customer service is almost non existent.

Hello everyone. Before thinking of using PayPal to sell one of your items(even worse if it is a digital product, like art, you MUST know that they will HOLD your money even after you delivered product and confirmed it's delivery(some complain about holding their money for more than 21 days!). This can also help SCAMMERS(you delivered the product - being a virtual item, so you won't be able to make "proof of delivery". In the meantime, the buyer(scammer) will ask for a refund to paypal, you will LOSE your money and your SOLD product! I will never use this company again.

AVOID THEM IF POSSIBLE!

In reading all of the reviews on here it is easy to think that I would have been one of the people saying how great Paypal was, too. Until 2 weeks ago, that is. I have a very common surname and apparently someone in the same town also has the same name as me (odds are pretty good - like Bill Smith being in Tallahassee Florida, do you think there is only one?). This person has a negative balance on their account and Paypal's "automated matching algorithm" magically determined that this person and I are one in the same, even though the day before this happened I made a significant charitable contribution through my REAL Paypal account and it was paid promptly by my credit card. I have spent countless hours on the phone with them trying to get this resolved and have gotten nowhere. I have even contacted the Better Business Bureau (my case is still pending). I have literally gotten a different answer from each of the 9 people I have spoken to, but not one of them has helped me at all. So my account has been closed until I pay the money that this other person owes. Think Paypal is wonderful and this could never happen to you? Don't be so sure.

After trying different option to process my credit card sales, I came to the conclusion that PayPal has no rights and no reason to ask such privileged information. (as listed above)
If PayPal get hacked there could be some serious consequences on my business. Any scammer would be able to get large business loans because they would have absolutely all the information needed. PayPal was hired to process credit card payments and make sure it get in my bank account. I don't plan to give them any information other than my business number and my bank account number.

I since used both Square and Stripe to replace PayPal. They have work fine for me so far. There is many PayPal alternatives out there, so why give all this very sensitive information, take chances that one day they will be hacked (just a matter of time right?) and have to deal with all the risks and troubles this could cause. It's actually a little suspicious from their part. I have absolutely no regrets and don't miss Paypal what so ever.
