Paypal supports fraudulent companies. There are companies that advertise products, stating that the product has a 100% guarantee and 90 days return no questions asked. They further this claim with "backed by Paypal guarantee". To your dismay, after you check out, you find that the item is not shipping from the U.S., but from China. After over a month to get to your doorstep, much longer than the stated shipping time, the items are defective. You ask for the money back guarantee, only to be told you must pay for the return shipping, which is more than half the product cost. To add insult to injury, reviewers are stating that even after they sent the product back, the seller then said that they could not refund items that were 'not in their original condition' (i. E., opened), even though it would be impossible to test the item without opening the box. Paypal does nothing to support the buyer and continues supporting the fraudulent company to send defective products, and states that Paypal is just a "processing company". At one time, Paypal actually protected the buy from scams like this.

Paypal is a scam site. Sure, many people use it effectively because they've they accept the terms.

But do not use the site as i intended! I simply set up an account to receive money from a long distance sale.

I created my account with NO request to add a credit card or bank account! I was surprised.

When i attempted to request a check?

Nothing. Several people via their message system gave as many different answers regarding requisition a check. First it was just go to PayPal's web site (duh! I was there messaging them.) Then it was i must link a credit card. Then it was i must link a bank account. And to add to the crazy rhetoric of this India call center? The replies were in broken english and often difficult to understand!

No. Paypal? Avoid at all costs. Scam site.

Remember they lost a class action suit that reached into the millions of dollars because they were at fault for not paying people! Google it and see.

Avoid the scam.

PayPal is no longer interested in having me as a customer. I had to replace my card due to fraud. There was no way they Would allow me to do this. They are so focused on selling their own PayPal card that they can't deal with anything else. They played mind games with me for two days through their message centers which they falsely claim as customer service. All of them selling PayPal card which I don't want. My question now is, who did they well this company to. It's not the same as it was

I've had the worst experience so far after using PayPal for years I'm never using it ever ever again! I got over charged that made my account balance go to the negatives which is not the problem the problem is that PayPal charged my bank insufficient funds 200x making my bank get overdrafted to -3000 and then COVID-19 took place and I've been unable to reach them for 2 MONTHS! They are no where to be seen, my bank is completely frozen and I cannot receive money from my job it's a disaster a whole $#*! show! Stay away! Get a visa debit card.

I placed 2 orders 1 one them completely disappeared & I can't get reimbursed without the transaction number that disappeared along with everything else on that purchase, the other one i placed and seller won't respond PayPal says they see it and to file a dispute which i can't because it won't put up on my end so I can't select that option cause it doesn't show, I have almost $60 worth of purchases and can't get reimbursed, im never using PayPal again, thats it, never experienced this in the past but I've had enough.

I will commonly sell things on a clothing site called grailed, however even though this is the only place I sell items every time I make a sale PayPal freezes my account for suspicious activity' even though it's the only place there is ever a transaction from. Now after multiple phone calls and sending them everything but my social insurance number they still will not give me access to my money (around $1000. 00 USD) so fed up with this company and now they don't even have an active phone line. WHAT A JOKE

So ive had two recent purchases where I've purchased an item, using PayPal, and received something not even close. Once I purchased a speaker and received a pair of cheap sunglasses. The other a small animal cage and received a plastic whistle. Both time I had multiple pictures and documents to back the false seller, sent it to PayPal. After a long amount of time, the seller said they'd refund it if I sent the items back to an address in China, both shipped from the states. PayPal did nothing. They told me I had to pay to ship them to China in order to get a refund. 2hy would they not make the seller provide a return label?

I like everything but when it comes to contacting customer support for any issue they are bots and the support people are in India and don't know anything beside parroting the script in front of them which is closest to the question or issue that you are having and nothing else beside that. They will not flip the ticket to higher level support even when requested, they parrot that same answer that they assume is the fix even though it was tried or not the proper fix for the issue.

My issue was that paypal without letting me know switched automatic payments to use balance first some where late last year or early this year. By them doing this I got blindsided by paying for local goods in local prices with the foreign currency balance. What sort of business is this?
