    Hi Every one ,

    I just want to share my grieence to every one .In my paypal account , I was having 500$ , i am always using it in a legit manner and had no problem when my eanring s were just 200$/300$ , when it came to 500$ , Paypal want to eat up the money !!Yes , You saw that right .

    Well , What Happened is :

    I had 500$ , a bit more in my account , and used 325$ from it for purchasing SK DATE Software for starting my dating website .And yes , I recieved the software on time , They rock.But Paypal hold the 325$ in the SK DATE paypal account and the rest in my account .I knew it actually only when SK Date sent me email regarding this , i looged into my paypla and saw that 325$ was hold and SK DATE Recieved the payment but its hold on thier account and also on mine .So , A problem for both of us .Payment was hold after 24 hours after sending the payment that my dating website was already ready .Now , 325$ loss for SK DATE (Though I will pay them by any other means) , rest lost for me.

    Actually , there is no reason at all for the hold .Well , So I contacted the paypal customer support through phone and told everything .The Customer support told me "But how will I know that you are the owner of the account to send payment ?" , I was like what the heck , So , as a aproof the support asked me my credit card details , name etc .I gave her exactly and she old yes , no problem .So , Again I told her , Can you please trasnfer the fund 325$ atleast now to SK Date , and was suprised to again hear , that "BUT , HOW WILL I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE OWNER OF THE PAYPAL ACCOUNT TO SEND PAYMENT ?" .Ok , I told I only know my password , I alwways have accessed my paypal from a unique ip , not even a single ip than my 1 ip , and also gave you credit card details , name etc.., What else details you need to prove that I am the Account Owner ?" .She told me , yes you are the account holder , BUT , HOW WILL WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE AUTHORISED TO SEND PAYMENTS FROM THE ACCOUNT ? ? ? ? ?? ? ? ?" JUST ANY PAYPAL SUPPORT IF ANY HERE , TELL ME , WHAT CAN I DO IF I GET REPLIES LIKE THIS ? ? ?


    Ok , i was so pissed of now and just cut the call , again called up after an hour , same conversation went , and at-last asked her , what else proof you want ?She told me , my account will be hold for 3 days due to suspicious activity ( which was of course nothing , what can be ? " )and after 3 days , i need to send my address proof , driving license etc ...WHAT THE HECK ? ? ? ? ? ?Actually , I dint get my driving license even for driving and have to get it for my Paypal account ? ? ?I drive without license , but Paypal needs driving license for sending payments ? ? ? ? So , in my country , it takes a month to apply and get a valid driving license , So please tell me what I have to do now ?

    So , I decided let the fucking paypal keep the money , Now ,its a double loss for me .I lost 500$ and also have to pay 325$ more for SK DATE , If fuckn paypal atleast freeze my money before purchase , i could have not proceeded for the purchase , could have saved atlest 325$ , now i have to pay them through bank trasnfer preferably ....and so I started hating online business........JUST BECAUSE PAYPAL SUCKS LIKE THIS .


    I Wish i could have asked the customer support "WHAT IS THE ACTUAL PROOF THAT SHE IS A LADY , CAN I SEE HER ***** TO CONFIRM THAT SHE IS A LADY " .Never mind , it is same like she asked me , I dont know why see asked my credit card details , if all she want is a driving license scan copy from me ? ? ?


    My advice to all my fellow mates , PAYPAL SUCKS !!!We all have same interest and so we are in DP , To earn money , But with paypal , we loose our money :(

    ANY ONLINE PAYPAL SUPPORT HERE IN DP , Please pm me .

    Well I hate to add fuel to the fire but I heard that you can be working with online businesses and paypal can suddenly freeze your account. If this has happened to someone, do they seize your money?

    Thanks.

    Was your account unverified? Paypal put spending caps on unverified users from country to country. Anyway, Paypal + digital products or services=high potential of everything going wrong with your money.

    But in case of slightest suspection that can be , would agree...they simply do this ...but more over asking driving license for sending payments is the joke of year by paypal...
