Jul 5, 2008 PayPal complaint |

Paypal is handy until you come across an unhappy customer (Ebay). There are a few loopholes that most people are NOT aware of. #1: You MUST ship with a tracking number or USPS Delivery Confirmation number, this is the first thing you are required to supply to Paypal should a claim be opened against you. It does NOT matter the papertrail you have proving it was shipped if you do not have this information.
#2: Ebay and Paypal are owned by the same company but NEITHER side has a clue what the other side is up to. Most Paypal employees are only as educated to what is on their computer screen at the time and NEVER take a reps' word that they are noting something on your account.
#3: Even with a tracking number/ Delivery Confirmation number, if your purchase totals more than +$250 you have to HAVE signature confirmation.
- It is a nightmare. I shipped with UPS a lot of mostly brand new with tags little girl's clothing. It arrived, my buyer posted positive feedback and even emailed to comment about what a "great buy" they got and how "happy" they were with their purchase... almost a week later they email saying their items had a strong "pesticide" odor and want a refund. The only thing that "smelled" was this Ebayer's story, so I offered to help them file a UPS insurance claim, and as expected they declined. Case closed I thought until I got an email about a Paypal claim. I had all my ducks in a row, insured, tracking number, the Paypal "claim" was closed in my favor, but still my account was frozen because THEY PAID BY CREDIT CARD AND FILED A "PAYPAL CHARGEBACK".
So again the ENTIRE transaction was again yanked out of my account and my account was in the negative - I received the "threat of fixing this negative balance or else" email. I phoned Paypal and was told to ignore it, I was told the "credit card company is like a school bully with lunch money, that [Paypal] is required to hand it over until the investigation is through".
That was a direct quote from a Paypal supervisor.
It took every bit of their 120 (BUSINESS) days timeframe to get this settled and IT ONLY WAS SETTLED IN MY FAVOR because I didn't back down and was on the phone (friendly though) at least once a week.
