Paypal is a scam!

Discussion in 'PayPal' started by sandrodz, May 24, 2007.

    I had a dispute, I won the dispute and only recovered 3$ out of 60$. very nice indeed.

    Yesterday someone payed for the domain names via teahost.com and I registered those domains - after few days I get message payment reversed - I lost 100$ in domain sales. Thanks to paypal, who always helps scammers!

    Bravo paypal! exceptional customer service, :mad:

    Sorry to hear that, I know many stories like your but I never got a problem like that...

    Maybe you should be more careful when you choice the person / company which you trade / buy.

    paypal sends out my money without even holding a dispute + against a person who doesn't even have a verified account. They help scam!

    we should run a good court case... I'm sick of paypals unfair actions. E-gold was so much better back when I used it....

    hmm, I have been using Paypal since they first opened and I have never had a problem. Sorry to hear that maybe you need to be more careful with the people you deal with.

    I read somewhere that they only do a refund / or you can claim your money if payment was through Credit Card.

    Hey its not paypals fault it is the scammers that paypal deals with, they neeed to do an IP banning system for all the people who charge back send money to another account and close the current one. That isn't fair to the people who are actually honest.
