PayPal - I had a dispute with a scammer and their dispute department didn't read anything...
Updated by user Dec 12, 2025

paypal has closed the dispute four times in favor of the scammer because they did not look at the screen shots or explanations that i sent 3 times or listen to the phone calls i made twice weekly since october 15 2025.

Original review Dec 12, 2025

I ordered 3 products from Valentine Co/Seranova and after reading reviews realized they were scammers. I tried to cancel the order.

by phone and by email.

So i started a dispute with paypal.

I received the package on Oct. 20 and returned to sender unopened on the 21st.

I sent Paypal screen shots, and called customer service multiple times but they don't listen and refuse to refund my money.

Loss:
$166
Cons:
  • You can not reach people who actually help

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: avoid Seranova/Valentine Products and don't use Paypal.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I returned items to Ann Taylor but have not received a refund.
  • - PayPal disputes closed in favor of the seller twice; Ann Taylor has not responded.

I have contacted Paypal several times regarding items I returned to the seller, Ann Taylor, for which I have not received a refund. I have uploaded documentation three times showing the returned items with the amounts that needed to be credited back to my Paypal account.

Twice they have closed in the seller's favour without any explanation. How can they favour the seller, who has kept the items which I am still paying for?

The items were intact, with labels and were returned because they were too big. Consumer protection at its finest!

Ann Taylor refuse to answer any of my emails and the telephone call I had with them was fruitless; they suggested I visit the store at which I returned the items even though I bought them online.

Loss:
$217
Pros:
  • Easy payment options
Cons:
  • Will not cover obtaining refunds from merchants on returned items

User's recommendation: Avoid using Paypal and never buy from Ann Taylor

Dear Team,

I tried to use my PayPal balance, but it was not showing for any purchase. So I tried to transfer to my card; it got denied several times.

Since last week, I have been having this issue. I tried to contact your customer service number with the generated code. It says they are available from 9 AM to 9 PM GST, and I did call them during these hours, and still, it hangs up! What kind of customer service is this?

What's the point of having this number? Apart from that, please fix my issue.

Pros:
  • Efficient
Cons:
  • No customer service

Preferred solution: PayPal balance transfer or available for purchase

Case ID PP-R-ARJ-61928**** AMOUNT:...

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Fraud CONTABO charge on 1/29/26; charged again.
  • - I deny doing business with CONTABO.
  • - I seek explanation for ongoing charges and card data access.

Case ID PP-R-ARJ-61928****

AMOUNT: $3,338.40

CONTABO GmbH

My PayPal account was fraudulently billed by the above entity, CONTABO, on 1/29/26. My credit card provider and I have disputed this charge, and it is supposedly under investigation by PayPal. However, the illicit amount was again charged to my replaced credit card by PayPal this billing cycle. I explicitly deny ever having done business with CONTABO, a German website provider, and refuse any and all charges to my account(s). I demand an explanation for the continued attempts at billing me while this case is being 'investigated.' I also demand to know how PayPal has been accessing my new credit card number without my permission. I find everything to be quite suspect and unprofessional.

Fraudulent Orders

AI Highlights
  • - I linked my debit card to verify identity and was charged $52.62, causing overdraft and a $30 fee; I want a refund.

On a seventh, I opened the PayPal app to request a personal profile page to pay online bills and shop with. When I went to hook up my debit card so that I could do this, I was told to hook up my debit card to prove my identity.

When I did, I was charged $52.62, causing my account to become overdrawn, and also causing me to have to pay a $30 fee. I want my money back. I did not click on anything except for 'Ted.' My debit card was entered to confirm my identity; they said there would be no charge, and they lied.

I want my money back. I thought PayPal's trust was real.

Loss:

Cons:
  • You taking a chance getting near checking account hacked into or money taken

User's recommendation: Talk to paypal's support directly on the phone.So you don't have this problem with internet piracy

Your purchased item after two months it’s still in the box I have as yet to use it. I have a concern about the billing.

I would appreciate it if you would contact me. I have an issue with Paypal, and I noticed theres a balance of $$34.92 I believe I believe that I paid you five monthly installments of the mentioned amount and yet they still have it as a balance of $34.92.

I apologize I do not have the order number, unless I open up your box but you should have my email of Robert PECK 724@***.com. I would appreciate your assistance in this matter.

I would like you to ignore the fact that my payment for your frying pan has been paid off. I believe the amount per month was $34.92 thank you.

PayPal - Unable to login

I am having a problem with my PayPal account dcksnirungu@***.com. When I try to log in, I can't get the code asked for after I lost the number I had used to register, 072790****, which got sold to someone else.

That means I can't get the code, and I need to log in and change that number, which I am not using. It's being used by someone else I don't know, and the number I am using now is +254113****70. That's the one I can get the code with. Help me with a code that I will use to change that number after logging in.

Thanks. Send me that code to verify my account and log in, please.

I am waiting and have not gotten it. Send the code directly to my email dcksnirungu@***.com.

PayPal blocked my account for no reason and asked for verification of identity which I did. Yet they refused to open my account.

They will not let me withdraw my funds too. Such an annoying company.
