Buyer raises ‘dispute’, sends back anything and PayPal will refund money (and charge fees).
Apparently, this is all the rage. Happened to my brother. He talks about it here. Happened to lots of other people. They post about it here. This guy talks about a version of the scam here. And lots of other seriously unhappy PayPal customers air their views here. That’s a lot of bad, unhappy energy.
But the ‘buyer dispute’ scam is just a tiny fraction of the bad news associated with PayPal, an organisation that seems to be, literally, a law unto itself. And one that doesn’t feel it needs to respond publicly to those claims.
Why am I posting about it? Because I can and because I believe that a business should be accountable to its customers. With no exceptions. Even when you have 150 million of them.
I hope PayPal is listening because I’d like to hear what it has to say on this apparent scammer’s paradise.
I totally agree with you about paypal , it is a scam company , They have blocked my account and held my money 3 times in the past 3 weeks and can give me no reason for it ,I think whattheya re doing is holding my money for 2to 3 days and if they do this with even 1% of their customers ,then it is a tidy sum of interest for them in their bank ,
When you phone them ,you might as well be talking to a robot as all the customer service agents seemed to be brain washed witht he same speel and it is like banging my head of a brick wall trying to get through to these idiots ,
BEWARE PAYPAL IS A JOKE and will only hold your payments in their account until such time as they feel like releasing it .
What they are doing is against the law ,it is stealing a persons money .Man am I mad with them .. CIARAN
