Hi everyone, in 2008 almost everybody who buy or sell something on the web have already used paypal. Maybe some of you have already face some major problem with paypal like a 180 days freeze or simply lost all money you earn! Read this. (Sorry for my poor english im from montreal, here we speak french) By the way i learn english with paypal on the phone!! hehe A Years ago i sold stickers on ebay. My friend have a printing company and he sell me wholesale sticker for a really cheap price. I decided to sell the sticker on ebay for make money!.. I Sold over 800 stickers 5$ to 15$ each on ebay and never withdraw the money i have in my paypal account, at the end a nerdz open a dispute for a 5$ sticker never received. I offer to the customer to send 2-3 another sticker free and he want to hear nothing..! i was verry disapointed. The wrong thing i do is to send sticker in a letter not registred. With no proof of shipping paypal freezed my account for 180 days... After 180 days i finally received my money but it's hard to see 3xxx,xx$ u.s in an account when you need this money to pay the bills and many other things.. A++ and use paypal carefully! Tell to us your paypal story.
That made me laugh "a nerdz" I have had both my paypal account's limited and have had to wait 180 day's to recieve funds. It's not so much the money you lose or have to wait for, it's the fact you can't use them again which is hard for a webmaster as the majority use paypal.
Well, you will probably not like my PayPal story. I have used them regularly for over three years and have had absolutely no problem with them. Any time I have had questions, they have answered quickly and helpfully. I have never had cause for them to "freeze" my account. Sorry, I still like PayPal
I sold $1,000s upon $1,000s of dollars on paypal. They were small though, so basically I sold $5-$100 items but I sold about 100-200 a day, for about 1-2 years. I collected 4,600+ positive feedback on ebay (only around 20 total negatives out of that), and then I found a wholesaler that can dropship for me. So obviously that would be easier, with bigger payments, and less work selling. I go on to call paypal and ask them can I dropship if I have tracking, and paypal is like sure that is no problem. So I start selling like $1000 a day but just dropshipping so just 1 big purchase a day. They go ahead and freeze my account and I say ok whatever I have tracking for each order which is all they were asking for. They ended up saying sorry these are legit trackings, so I call them and say its against our TOS to dropship. I say check your phone records I CALLED YOU GUYS AND ASKED. They proceed to say well go ahead and sue us and why dont u just take this to court, and I was like wtf, you guys are no help then you tell me to threaten you because you know I can't win vs. huge company. Yea they proceeded to freeze my account for 180 days, so people made "cases" with paypal and they auto win because I am frozen, and I paid dropshipper with credit card. YAY BEING OUT $1000s. I am so happy GoogleCheckout came out. I have posted this all over the place, but I really love GoogleCheckout, and I can't wait to see paypal slowly drop off face of the earth.
I have a paypal account..or should i say had? Well the story is that i craeted that account a long time ago but never really used it. Anyways once i got into the whole money online thing, i started using it, But a few weeks ago my account got locked. I have no idea why because i never bought anything with it or owed them any money. Now i cant receive payments thru paypal..which is what most websites pay thru.
No story here but I have read so many that I basically feel like i flip a coin every time I use them !!! lol (Sorry If i am off topic I just had to say this) Moneybookers? there are tons of bad stories for all the payment processors - Paypal isjust the worst !
My account was limited when i reached xxxx$ in payments. I was able to withdraw and receive money, i just couldn't make payments. I gave them the documents, my account was unlimited 24hours later. The End.
1.5 years !!!??? Care to give a bit more details and maybe the reasons that you think they may have done this ? Very curious.
I have also some paypal account but sad to say I am afraid of using it right now because of some problems with it because it has some open issues regarding some payment made by one people here in DP which they have reversed after service was done
