I am waiting for PayPal to verify me... they sent the 4 digits code and didnt worked . I talked to a PayPal representative and told me i've clicked twice so i have to wait until a new code will appear on the statement. The thing is i am waiting for a very long time. Now they tell me to FAX documents to a US fax number. Let me tell you how long i waited for this account to be activated : 1. Time until my bank issued the Credit Card : 10th june - 20th june 2. 20th june - day when Credit Card was released. 3. 20th june - Linked credit card to PayPal account. 4. 20th june - 2nd july : waited for 4 digits code. 5. 2nd july - checked bank issued statement - nothing 6. 2nd july - 4 july : waiting 7. 4 july - got the bank statement ad found 4 digits code , that did not worked. Now I was wandering - what's wrong now. After talking to a somebody from PayPal Customer Service i discovered that accidentaly i pressed twice that resend button and that the first code wasn't valid anymore (i don't see why since you charged for it, but whatever). Now i am told to wait for a second code. 8. 9 july 2008 - i'm going to my bank and asked for receipt from my credit card account - NOTHING. It's just a small amonth that is blocked between my account and PayPal. They told me to check it out with PayPal. Whatever, i dont mind loosing some money - but i want my account activated. 9. 14 july 2008 checked it again - still nothing 10. 17 july 2008 checked once more - still nothing It seems to me that they have a lousy card processing department, and i'm starting to doubt on they'r services. I subscribes to Moneybookers and AlertPay... but in the end i think i am going to send faxes since my code isnt willing to appear on my statement. I'm glad at least they didn't made me travel Europe - USA to verify this account. I understand security issues, but common man, give us a break. This looks more like big corporation mentality that starts to mock us because of they'r monopol on online processing - some competition would be great, in the interest of users like you and me. If you have other disturbing cases feel free to post them into my thread - people must open the eyes.
Since you do not have online banking facility to view your credit card statement in real time, you will need to wait for the next billing date which I believe in your case is 4th August 2008. You cannot blame paypal for anything because it was you who mistyped the Exp User Code. If you want to blame, blame yourself. Blame your bank for not giving you online banking facility. Nothing to what you say warrants you to blame paypal.
Lol,no need or necessity to post paypal grievences,as it's common and almost all people here suffered lot with paypal.
@ -valley.info I'm not a very pacient guy. When someone pays me to do something i deliver a.s.a.p. I expect the same from other individuals or company's. @ Eddy My money haven't left the account - so they didnt even bother processing the transaction. My bank has no fault. And i didnt mistyped anything - i wrote it like it was on my statement ( xxxxPAYPAL ) , where xxxx was the number i typed in - the only thing i'm guilty of is that i didnt knew that once a second code is released the first one is cancelled - thing that isnt quite allright since they charged me for the first one too - i know it's a small amount but they are still my money - how much money makes PayPal a day doing things like this ? Millions i supose.
I'm glad it worked for you but it didn't for me. If i have some good news i'll post here ... until then wish me good luck with this situation
Paypal is good , but sometime it harasses for no cause , like account limitation sudenly but you need to wait like hell after uploading docs to get your limit lifted. Make a call to paypal personnels asking them to solve the problem , same case happened with me , but I talked with them , have to upload card statement copy and , they took 15 days to make my account verified, and accept my card , lol. Blumsy service.
They should have a LIVE customer serivice , something like those guys from namecheap.com have. It's very helpful. If they dont have time, they can always hire a call-center - i'm sure they can afford it
I discovered what really happend. The bastards charged me twice but gave me the same code - HOW THE HELL IS THAT POSSIBLE. I've uploaded other kind of proofs. Still nothing. My credit card is now rejected. If anyone here sued Paypal , or filed any coplaints ... please tell me where sould i go ... because this smells like extorsion .
