    Let's share each other's experiences on Paypal.


    I'll go first....
    --------------------------------------------------
    I've sold a site to a DP member not knowing that his/her Paypal account was hacked. $2,400.

    I've got a fraudulent chargeback...
    Then my account got limited. good thing i've already withdrawn some of it and purchased some stuffs in ebay.

    One time I was sent $10,000 and after I gave the person what they bought they thanked me.

    Edit: I could understand that if it were PayPal fraudently taking money from users. The OP had a negative experience due to a chargeback. PayPal isn't the blame for that action.

    I've never had any problems with them... however I try to not keep much money on my account, just in case some crazy-ass paypal guy decides to limit my account or something

    The problem with that approach is that as soon as you try to withdraw most of your money, you get limited!

    Paypal has been good to me.. so far. I got a little confused because i couldn't figure out how to transfer money from a NZ credit card to my paypal account. I found the answer on some forum, it wasn't in the docs.

    :(



    I sold an ipod on ebay for £250. 5 months later the payment got reversed so I had a negative balance. Apparantly the guy who bought it had their ebay/paypal accounts hacked.
    I never heard anything from PayPal since though. My account got closed and the police got the guy who was using the guys hacked account. He'd bought about £10,000 worth of stuff with it.
