PayPal has stolen my money. $500 is on hold and no reply

Anyway I'll probably spend some time to find the person who did it to me and make him regret just for fun.. LOL sometimes I'm evil

 

visit Talkgold forum section dedicated to exchanges. there are sticky threads about egold/paypal scam

 

Yeah, that's where I traded..

 

I'm curious -- why did you do the trade in the first place? It sounds possibly dicey, so what was your incentive to take the risk?

 

if u goin to cash transfter via paypal u can do it via xoom . com they are pretty decent as both the buyer and seller has to prove their identity first before transferring anything

 

ALWAYS withdraw your funds regularly from your PayPal account by doing an electronic transfer into your checking account regularly, and then move the money from that account into another separate account not connected to PayPal. Just for good measure.

And here are some alternate numbers for PayPal if that other one doesn't work out:

(800) 836-1859
(877) 672-9725
(866) 272-9725

 

Like I mentioned in my original post if you are going to exchange egold make sure you withdrawal the funds from paypal or whatever processor you are using before sending the egold. Tell the purchaser there is a 5-7 business day hold so that funds can be cleared and the once the funds hit your bank account thats when you send the egold. They can try and do a reversal but paypal is less likely to give them some of "paypals" money if you have a zero balance.

Thanks, I kinda figured that out too, but it's probably a little too late..

 

yes 500$ is lots of money that is to you! but paypal dealing a millions dollars per day so that is not a big one for paypal.

they respond with 7 to 10 days.

 

Take a look at paypalsucks.com, you will see a lot of people including me share the same problems.

Paypal is actually stealing funds from accounts to cover all their chargeback fees.

Since they took my 1300$ i i stopped using them.

Serious payment processors: moneybookers.com, neteller.com

 

paypal doing so r u kidding

 

yeah,,, because you new for this. and you got $500. paypal detect thats. thats the problem. the solve is you must call paypal. and give you identity. like your address, social number. i hope your problem can clear.
