How to travel free with PAYPAL? Cheating with Paypal.
Is very easy do a fraud with PAYAPAL to get a travel free.
If you can pay with PAYPAL a service like tour, hotel, tickets and any that be a SERVICE and doesnt requiere a delivery by Mail or UPS etc.
Because PAYPAL only protect transactions with a RECEIPT of MAIL DELIVERY all other transactions claimed proceed.
Then after travel you claim to your Credit Card as invalid transaction, Unknow transaction, and you receive a refund for it.

IF YOU ARE A RESTAURANT, TOUR PROVIDER etc BE CAREFULL! There is a lot of people traveling free with this tool.

My only problem with PayPal is that when a refund is made it takes a long while to display on your card, well I love using PayPal for ebay, cos their refund policy with ebay is a bit strong

Paypal first ties your money up for 21 days, you can get around this 3 week hold if you confirm you have shipped or provided the service, in that case your money is held up for 7 to 14 days. The funds are not released at the start of that day but rather at the hour you initially noted you shipped or provided the service! In my case, it was 11:32 pm EST when I confirmed completion of the service so my funds were not available on 4/5/17 at the start of the day it was not available until 11; 32 pm EST on 4/5/17! Nearly another day later! Then when I FINALLY was able to transfer the money at nearly midnight, I then find out that it will take another 3-5 business days before the money is actually in my bank account! REALLY?! I have to waith anywhere from 10 to 28 days to be paid by my customers! Heck I can collect my money faster if my customers simply mailed a check to me! I DO NOT RECOMMEND PAYPAL TO SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO NEED THERE CUSTOMER PAYMENTS ASAP. I AM CLOSING MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT, I RATHER ACCEPT A CHECK FIRST! THAT'S QUICKER!

Not Safe

PayPal will not protect you if you get robbed. Don't trust their send money option. They are not safe.

PayPal not trustworthy.

PayPal has gone from a company that you could trust with your financial information to someone that you cannot trust at all. Beware!

I have been a member of PayPal for quite some time now, and there was a time where I had to go to the resolution center to dispute a charge from a merchant that requested my payment via PayPal (with my Capital One Credit Card). At the time they were able to issue me a refund, due to the merchant not responding to my email sent to them under PayPal's watch. I even used PayPal to make purchases on ebay, as well as successfully opened PayPal Credit issues by Synchrony Bank (I have 7 credit cards with Synchrony bank). After that they, along with Ebay, Synchrony Bank (issuer of PayPal Credit) worked together to screw me over. Ebay closed my account due to "violation of agreement", while PayPal closed my account that I have cards with, and Synchrony Bank closed the PayPal Credit where I have never used and with $0 balance. I respect their decision and this is a big lesson learned to not trust PayPal, Ebay, and Synchrony Bank*.

Bottom Line: shop at amazon instead of ebay, just use your card for transactions and skip merchants that only accept PayPal, and lastly, consider skipping applying for PayPal Credit.

*While Synchrony bank is a good company and I have been a happy customer service bank. Consider applying Amazon Store Card, or other store cards with them (i. E. JCPenney, TJX/Marshall's/HomeGoods/Sierra Trading Post, and Burlington). I blame PayPal and Ebay than anyone else in this matter.
