Repost of some paypal horror stories

Repost of some paypal horror stories. From: http://reviews.ebay.com.au/Paypal-serious-problems_W0QQugidZ10000000006178850 ======================================= Never use Paypal!!!!! Here's my shortened story. Sold a scooter on Ebay for $7500. Buyer is happy, I'm happy. Money went through paypal to my paypal account. I tried to withdraw it and paypal stopped the account and reversed the payment. They said "unusual activity". They have $7500 of mine and have limited my account so I cant get it. They did that for no reason. I've faxed them information they requested twice and they still havent done anything. Now they want more info. There are many many people with the same problem - I'll never use paypal again. I'm sending my story to as many people as possible and that includes A Current Affair - already done about 1 hour ago. Check out (3w's) paypalwarning.com for real horror stories from people all over the world using paypal. I will NEVER use them again and I reckon I'm about to kiss $7500 goodbye. ======================================= From: http://ask-leo.com/i_keep_hearing_about_paypal_problems_should_i_avoid_paypal.html ======================================= If you like playing Russian Roulette you will love using Paypal. As someone who has sold several million dollars online I thought Paypal was great until I was burned. I shipped $500 worth of merchandise and the buyer did a reversal and ended up with his money and my parts. Paypal was impossible to deal with, they can hold your funds (all of them) for 6 months while they investigate and then keep them after all of that time. I had proof that the goods were received including FedEx receipts and emails from the buyer discussing the items after he received them. Paypal is the sole arbiter of your complaint, they will give you no information and you can go out of business while they make their decision. I know people who have lost their business because Paypal held thousands of dollars over a small dispute. If you must use Paypal do not leave a large balance in your Paypal account or the checking account you have it tied to and use a CC with a very small limit or a Walmart Visa Debit card with no more than a few hundred dollar balance. If you even use an email address that was once used by a scammer you can be shut down. We had a 5K instant transfer approved and then after shipping the product the transfer was reversed by Paypal. We had to track down the package and get it back. Paypals user agreement has been declared unenforceable by Courts in California. Be very wary.
