PayPal SUCKS!! - 2/4/2009 8:34:50 PM    CALDIGR2   Posts: 1469 Joined: 6/20/2005 Status: offline Can't say for anyone else's experience, but I have had it with PayPal. I have had to GIVE AWAY the last couple of bottles I sold through eBay because PayPal refused to put the money in my account. Their excuse was " you have TOO MUCH money in your account". What the hell is that BS?! I am DONE with that rip off buncha monkeys! In fact, eBay can go screw the moon, too. If I want to give my bottles away, I'll toss 'em in the recycle bin. _____________________________ Dig no privy before it's time. Post #: 1

RE: PayPal SUCKS!! - 4/10/2009 4:07:52 PM    Wilkie Posts: 1174 Joined: 5/2/2008 From: Suisun City, CA Status: offline PayPal does have some serious issues.  I sold a pug puppy a few months back.  The buyer came to my house and used his laptop to log on to his paypal account and send me the money for payment.  I checked my balance, saw that the payment went through and gave him the pup.  A half hour later I got an email from PayPal saying that my payment had been reversed due to fraudulant activity!  It took me two days of phone calls to find out that the fraudulent activity they were referring too, was the ip address from the guys laptop connection told them that the transfer took place from the same location as "my" computer.  I don't understand how that all works, however, I told them, yes, the guy was in my house and paid me for a dog that he took possession of.  I asked them why they would assume that fraud was involved without checking with the buyer and seller first.  To make a long story it took nearly 3 weeks to get my money back. _____________________________ www.myspace.com/westernbottles I buy samples, Jamaica Gingers from anywhere and Northern California hutches, blob tops.

RE: PayPal SUCKS!! - 6/30/2009 11:41:39 AM    bottlingco   Posts: 162 Joined: 1/28/2009 Status: offline I thought I would express my opinion on this one. Recently, I intended to open a Paypal account. The next thing I know, before I could give a credit card, they wanted access to my bank account. Now, maybe it's just me, but it is common sense that no one is going to get access to my bank account. We as consumers have become weak. We just let merchants, banks, etc. do whatever they want. It is time for the consumer to take control again. The market will always respond to the consumer. Still think a company is too big to fail? All of us should e-mail all of our sellers on Ebay and tell them these same things you have posted about Paypal here. If enough sellers put their sales on hold until the consumer had the right to choose how they pay, Ebay would either change, or fail. Simple economics. (in reply to CALDIGR2) Post #: 5

RE: PayPal SUCKS!! - 7/16/2009 9:58:03 PM    VA is for Diggers Posts: 295 Joined: 9/6/2008 From: G-Ville VA Status: offline I have had a few bad ebay deals and paypal refunded my money after 6 weeks. Most of the sellers that used to accept checks or money orders but not paypal, usually lost money anyway, because some buyers do not have the time or effort to go to the post office and send the payment or money order unless it is a rare one. I am not at all praising paypal, which I think acts like a monopoly on ebay, but they are putting some of the dishonnest sellers out of business! I think we need more info on the sellers, so that the scammers are publicly noted. I also think there should be some sort of recovery fund from any buyer, where if you buy something and never pay for it, then you are liable for a percentage of the cost in re-listing the item, etc...Voila!

I have not sold a thing on eBay since they forced their PayPal crap on the seller . If a Buyer wants to use their crappy service , they should have to pay for the privilage of doing so , not the Seller (in reply to texasdigger) Post #: 10

My wife and a seller agreed to a part refund on an item she purchased which was not as described, not much, 12.00 total. PayPal for some reason known but to God sent the money from the seller, to an email address with no connection to us. Go figure............ _____________________________ Too many shelves, not enough bottles. (in reply to CALDIGR2) Post #: 13

In reality, I accept money orders from anyone who asks. Jay (in reply to Poison_Us) Post #: 17
