PayPal
Reviews and Complaints

Paypal Catch-22. My account is over 10 years old, I no longer have the same phone number and of course cannot add a phone number to receive a confirmation text/phone call. To email Paypal I have to log in. Tried calling several times and at the same point, I hear a bunch of Spanish and the line is disconnected. When I try to use my CC on the WEB I get a message saying I have a Paypal account and must use that account.

Paypal is complicit in supporting fraudulent merchants on Internet websites and offer no remedies.. not even a compliant process. This PayPal account is fraudulent as it facilitates payments for merchandise that is never shipped: PAYPAL *JAREDSTOREX [protected] CA... It would be very pro-consumer if complicit companies such as PayPal were proactive and not complicit in such fraudulent sales operations as I recently experienced. If I was an attorney I would filing a class action suit against PayPal for the public good as PayPal is a public nuisance as it "takes money and runs" no matter how fraudulent a seller operation is. Citizens want "America to be Great Again" let the legal system begin with PayPal.

If you get as unknown receipt, even if you think it's possible that you made the order and just forgot, legitimize the receipt before releasing ANY personal information!

This was in my inbox and it looks like a simple case of accidentally typing in my email address instead of the correct one but when I attempted to cancel said order I couldn't. Total scam, report it if you get it then delete it. No personal information to strangers.

I came in contact with a company named "Mobileworld Company" which is a EC21 Member.

You can find more information above this seller using the following link which is their's storefront page.

https://mobileworldcompany.en.ec21.com/

This guy probably goes under many names, but in this case, he portrayed himself as;tomas martinez with mobileworld company that he claimed was us company. I would guess he is not really American, but Chinese, judging by his bad grammar.

He convinced me by telling me he would never scam me since he wanted a future long-term relationship with me.

When I looked closer into the shipping status, my first understanding of the scam was the grammar error saying "On Transit" instead of "In Transit". Also, that the delivery was still of 25 units when the transaction only covered 1 item. Why would he still send all 25 units when I only paid for 1, was my thought. It did not make sense.

And I wonder who would ever want to pay an additional $1000 for them to release the shipment when asking for a small sample order to try them out.the reason for the small order was to test his honesty which I had to acknowledge him about.

Since I didn't agree to pay, he said that he couldn't get the goods out of customs.it could even be a salesperson working in a logistics company tried to scam me or simply that the supplier was a scam altogether.So this has been a clear sign that something dodgy was going on.

And it seemed fine until I was told that instead of using DHL to ship the items, he wanted me to use his preferred shipping company, and the red flag came when I received an email from the shipping company that they only accept international payments via western union.As far as I know when scammers want to get money and they don't want to be traced and get caught; certain payment options like western union make much easier for them to avoid being traced by.

This seller insists that he uses a particular shipping company to provide a phony email address to pose as DHL to send me an email using a free e-mail address.his sloppy content on his email tipped off me that he didn't even bother to proofread his own writing which left spelling and grammatical errors.

He pretended to explain why package had not been delivered and asked for additional payment that is 10 times more than the purchase price and to wire the difference, the extra money is for the stress has caused him to release the item from customs.

A cargo or courier company don't contact people and ask for money.they are a courier company- as such they contact and send items and mostly pay in the local country its sent from much less accept money through Western Union or Moneygram.And legitimate companies won't restrict payment to those methods.

I am aware that he is not part of cargo team or the courier company he claims to be agents of- nor is authorized agent, local branch or affiliated to such overseas companies.It's possible that the name of an actual employee is being used by an identity thief trying to scam me.

He uses an imposter fake courier company- stating that he has my item, but its delayed by customs, that I need to pay into a bank account- declaration fees, delivery charges and all sort of fake charges on the nonexistent item.

From my findings I could able to spot something was amiss about the shipping companys website, even if I couldnt quite put my finger on whats wrong but I have found that it has plagiarized content from legitimate shipping company's websites.And that might not be considered fair use because depending on the circumstances, the original website content is not allowed to be freely copied for commercial purposes.

I also found a legitimate carrier company with almost the same name and domain, www.exp-logistics.com.

You can see that this is a legitimate company with visible contact information that also is well optimized.I noticed that the fake carrier site has no search engine optimization and is poorly done. They only have an info email, no phone number, or customer service information.

He has been ignoring my demands for the refund even I had extended every courtesy possible and the criminal's PayPal account is still open.So he's still free to keep on robbing people legally

Extremely disappointed as the case is not resolved an entire month later.It's very difficult to do business with a company that doesn't trust in you.I have found the illusion of dispute protection is well and thriving in the cyber marketplace as Paypal is concerned for scammers.

PayPal does not honor its policy.It was definitely a terrible experience and I cannot afford to deal with a financial institution which I cannot trust.I will steer clear of Paypal use in future and advise everyone the same unless there is no other option to pay.I have explained the same problem almost 40 times.when contacted about this practice, Paypal customer service department unapologetic regarding this devious practice.

I am very disappointed in PayPal, I have been using this service for 8 years without a hitch.The bottom line is, it is not as simple as I've been scammed and I want justice. Even if I am clearly correct and am entitled to my money back, Paypal will find a way to deny me.PayPal knows this is impossible and will make me feel like I am at fault for not following your impossible demands.There are so many impossible mandates to comply with, to honest people like us, it would be the loser of the process every time.

Seeing how Paypal just ignore all proofs of evidence and how Paypal just automatically side with the defended party makes me not trust this service anymore because this could most likely happen again.

I have already informed him about filing a dispute against him and since then I did not hear a single word from him.

Either way, there's fraud going on or not, since some scams are so well organized and convincing and the people behind so difficult to catch it is still inevitable to spreading awareness and giving information to law enforcement agencies hopefully help others avoid falling victim to it.

I am probably upset because after I have completed all the required steps asked by Paypal representatives made only an arbitrary decision to hold my funds for no reason, or for a reason that makes no sense.

I wrote Paypal maybe 10 times about it, they blew me away.needless to say, Paypal denies publicly having a customer service problem, but rather admitting in private describes PayPal's public face is very different from the private PayPal that many of users never see.the seller has become abusive and will not refund which by law PayPal is required to do so.I am simply seeking a resolution that is fair and in the best interest of both parties.

I feel that any reasonable person would conclude that holding my entire fund for 180 days is excessive and may be viewed by some as punitive or as already stated, an unnecessary abuse of power and Paypal has not even provided me with justification even I had to supply my very private information.

PayPal is acting in an irresponsible manner and to change this scenario and to hold my money on this issue has become all the more important.there were several factors that contributed to since I am going after Paypal officials but of no avail.they are offering lame excuses to avoid me.

PayPal should pursue legal actions and definitely contact the seller and appeal the decision and ask for a refund.

Even I have enclosed my evidence list as a proof. However, Paypal denied open a case saying already filled, which I came to know is false.I appealed case again and stated I can prove that this seller is fragmented but they refused to take into account.this is unbelievable.I have used Paypal and eBay for over 12 years.terrible decision making - a case that was hardly looked into, they decided to return money wrongfully to the seller.

Paypal supposes to dispute a chargeback on behalf of my name, but they keep ignore the fact that reply to me not doing their best even though my account has been in good standing and has no disputes.

They are very sneaky, ya know.
They have been keeping my account on hold for a month from last Sunday. I can't do anything. Nothing helps me. I opened several disputes, but once they notice it, they immediately close them.
I don't understand what was the reason for doing this to me. I am an average user, don't do anything but making payments. Now I am out of my money and I am not sure that what they do is legal. Do you think they have the right to do so without providing any reasons?

Do not block clients from your FB page https://www.facebook.com/PayPalPhilippines/
just because they keep complaining about the money you have not transferred to their bank which was withdrawn and transfer completed Oct 13, but has not yet reached their bank by Oct 24. You should understand how stressful it is for customers to not know where their money went. Help them! NOT Block them. I've been a regular client for a year now and have been promoting PayPal for a year now in a community group of freelancers I am managing, and this is how you will repay me? This is horrible customer service.

In my opinion and suspicion the PayPal Risk Management Department is deliberately sending fraudulent and fictitious "clients" to their customers who are making a lot of money, in order for them to do equally fraudulent credit card "chargebacks, " so that PayPal can then state that the targeted business is "high-risk, " and then can therefore impose an up to 15-20% "reserve" on all of that targeted client's credit card transactions for 90 days or more, all the while keeping the interest generated and other benefits of stealing their clients' cash.

PayPal has been known to unreasonably, unethically, and illegally designate legitimate long-standing established businesses/companies who may have had 1 or 2 charge backs in a few years, and successfully defended them, as being “high-risk, ” whereupon they steal that business’ cash as described above, making billions of dollars in interest and money benefits thereon.

This is definitely a RICO claim as well.

OHi, I would like to file a complaint about someone used code Name Prince Emmanuel address: 204 Koos De Larey St. Pretoria North, Gauteng, South Africa. I was scammed by him. He used a fake paypal account to me a payment for exchanged of an item that I have been already shipped to him last 07/06/17 via DHL and 30, 000 so that I could claim my money to PayPal Last week Sept 06, 2017 and claimed by Shoyele Ulomide .

For some reasons, they all of a sudden decided that they have to hold my amount for a month without any explanation why. I never acted in a bad way, all of my transactions were legal and I myself have been their regular customer for several years, so I have no idea what happened. They said it looked suspicious and now they are checking it. Then why does it take you too long? Are you sending signals to aliens and waiting for their confirmation? What they did is ridiculous and is not legal whatsoever.

What am I to do?
My Paypal account doesn't show the refund, my bank doesn't either, and even not the store that should have issued my refund. I only have papers and receipts to prove, but nobody cares. I just wasted my money and time for nothing. This is such a big disappointment with PayPal, they can't show simple thing, which looks extremely unreliable.

They are definitely a scam and they collaborate with scammers like them. They prefer you to give up on your issue because they don't really care.
Paypal transactions aren't legal and safe. Once you send money there will be two ways for you: whether your money was lost or not. That's all.
Don't trust them, don't pay through them and don't buy Chinese products!

Don't make my mistakes! You better find different online payments companies, because pp is in the last place. Their conditions are the worst for both sides. They constantly block accounts if some small detail will look suspicious, even if it's not. And pp customer service is not helpful. You will not get anything from them. No answers, no resolution. Simply the worst.

They hold my money for 3 weeks for no reason at all. Is it actually legal to leave a customer without any access to his money? I called customer service, I emailed them.. Nobody can help. They can't explain what was the reason and why the access is denied. Maybe it was someone who has hacked my account, maybe something else, but why don't they know it?
I'm disappointed. After I get my money I will be done with them forever.

This is an awful company. Why have customer service if you really don't want to help us?
When I called them to solve one little problem, the person who was on the line seemed to be very nervous and answered like he wanted to get rid of this conversation as soon as possible. I wanted to define some details more precisely, but he hung up on me. I consider it rude and unprofessional.

My pay pal account has been sold out money 40 Million US Dollars by a pay
pal officer Hindu Sherma(shameless) has been looted/frozen/confiscated.
Pay Pal Officer Sherma who say him self Customer Care Specialist declared
my account limited for 180 days which expired on 06 Jun 2017. Then he again
declared my account limited for 180 days and an Indian SIKH Pay Pal Officer
also joined hands with him.

A Lady Pay Pal Officer Madam Sarah of the same office say that she and her
other colleagues have not seen any sign of limitation in my account

Pay Pal Inc USA is requested to detail any other officer to decide climitation process of my account because decision of Hindu Sherma and Sikh
is indiscreminately against me.

Paypal is an a-hole wothless company. They say you can pay people. They are liars. I did all the things. Correctly and successfully connected my bank account and everything and the [censor] keep saying when I merely tried to pay someone $90. Sorry we cannot send money now. The [censor]. I even emailed them about this issue and they still would not do it and gave no reason why. Worthless [censor] paypal!

I used PayPal for a long time and I was always satisfied with their service.
But my last experience was a disaster and that changed my mind about PayPal.
I bought something from an online store and got scammed. Everything I received was very small and of a bad quality. I tried to open a return process but failed. Then I contacted PayPal and opened a dispute, I told them that I had all the necessary documents and photos.
After one week of waiting I decided to contact PayPal to ask how things were going on and was shocked when they said that they haven't even looked at my case yet! They said they'll contact me when they'll have some news and that day never came.
PayPal didn't help me, they did absolutely nothing and didn't care!
