Shame PAYPAL. All be aware of this cheating and stealing money site!
AVOID and ne aware of them!
Damn thieves and cheaters. They stole my money!

Paypal is one of the trusted payment service. We strongly recommend this payment service for secure payment service.

PayPal decided now that any amount I run for over $500 in a week will be held for 30 days. I have had my account for nearly four years, I had a card reader 3 years ago and did not have a hold. Now they say my account is new and that is why there is a hold. I told them to release the money or I would cancel my account and go with a different Payment processing company. Now there is a hold on my account and I have no access at all. Hold my money for 30 days is bad enough but now holding my account hostage has to be illegal but they say it was in my agreement

I recently discovered that PayPal has robbed me of desperately-needed funds MANY TIMES, and likely many other people as well! So please do both me and them a big favor!

Because he knows my financial need, at the end of the Foreword in the original edition of my book, Over 38 Years Without Tears my friend Dr. Gary Schwarz suggested that anyone who was touched by my testimony could donate toward my ongoing expenses through PayPal.
However:
1. Because I now have documented evidence on a different issue to support my mistrust of Paypal,
2. Because PayPal provides the option for recurring donations to be made electronically,

3. Because I have yet to receive EVEN ONE PENNY in donations for my 5-star book (even though a search for Over 38 Years Without Tears on Google last month listed over 500 entries, so I know for certain that lots of people have indeed read and been touched by it)

4. Because I MYSELF have no way of knowing either who all of those people are or how to contact them,
I would like for you to please, please inform anyone YOU know who read the first edition of Over 38 Years Without Tears and donated through PayPal that I never benefitted from their gift!
(And warn them to STOP THEM IMMEDIATELY if their donations are scheduled on a recurring basis, because unless they want to continue supporting PayPal, their money is being needlessly wasted!)

Over $10,000 held for 180 days even though tracking and delivery was provided because of 5 out of 200 customers disputed payment! Even though the people received everything and I supplied tracking numbers they shut my account down and are holding my money for180 days. That may not be abig thing for a company but that's my entire inventory money. Do not use this company for business if you need to have access to your money. Every time I tried to transfer over $500 they would delay it by 7 days. The only way I could get my money was through the ATM and pay a fee.

Have lost over 400.00 using Pay Pal for bad transactions with E Bay and International Cupid. All 3 times promised refunds over the phone because the evidence was there and later ruled for the Seller or business. They can't be trusted because they tell you one thing and do the opposite. Use Pay Pal at your own risk with E Bay sellers that you've done business with many times or have high feedback ratings. Do not use Pay Pal for any merchants outside E Bay this is high risk.

Live and learn... I needed a fancy work computer and made the unfortunate decision to purchase a used Surface Pro 4 from an Ebay Dealer... Turns out the unit was a bogus attempt to hide a very badly damaged unit. After almost a month of back and forth with eBay and Paypal, even having Microsoft write a full documented report of the cover-up attempt, I received word this morning that Paypal had sided with the merchant and there would be no return or refund for my $800 purchase. They did say I could appeal, so this evening I went back to the Mircosoft store to meet with the Store Manager to get yet another evaluation of the fraudulent purchase. Only things didn't turn out that way, Mircosoft didn't want to write another evaluation, they had decided they wanted to make things right and refund me the amount this unit cost when it was new...$1250! I said but that's way more than what I paid for the damaged unit, she said I know use it to buy extra protection for your new one ( I bought a brand new one from them for only $899) They even gave me the student discount! Way to go Microsoft! I have learned a lesson never buy anything from Ebay or use Paypal... so much for their buyer's guarantee...

Warning - PayPal will NOT protect you from Scam Sellers. I purchased 2 tops from Modlily. I was unfamiliar with Modlily and I used PayPal because I thought I would be protected. The items arrived and were way off on sizing. I ordered an XL (I normally wear a Large) as suggested on the sizing charts. I could not even get one of the items over my head it was so small. I followed the seller's return policy, I returned the items via USPS (as instructed by Modlily) I have confirmed tracking that the items were delivered. Modlily would not refund my money, so I filed a complaint with PayPal. Needless to say - I have supplied all the supporting documents that I did everything possible to return the items for a refund. For a MONTH I have been in touch with PayPal repeatedly. They are denying my claim as they say they cannot track the shipment as delivered. This is because USPS only provides tracking with City, State and Zip code - not the actual address. What a huge waste of time. PayPal does NOT protect YOU.
