PayPal is such a joke avoid them at all cost

[winb83]

These fools just let some random mofo pull $85 out of a bank account of mine and send it to an unverified account. I go cancel the transaction and they freeze my account and tell me its under review.

If you can avoid them don't mess with this company. I also hear they keep any account numbers you ever give them on file even if you remove the from your account.

this is why dealing on eBay is such a mess.

I am currently going through an issue with a buyer that says his package arrived opened, yet it shows delivered via usps. What does paypal do? Freeze the funds even though I did everything I possibly could have on my end. I am SHOCKED...SHOCKED another auction site has not come in and crushed eBay by now. Its ridiculous the kind of hold they have with all those fees. The double dip is insane and should be downright illegal. Not only do you have to pay fees to eBay, but you also have to pay the fee for the full amount of the item you sold to PayPal. Which can sometimes be a bytch for high priced items.

I recommend everyone sell on Amazon if you can. I usually sell hot items on amazon, but smaller and things that are not exactly easy to find on eBay...those items fetch more there.

I sell on eBay as well and I second all yall on this topic. I know somebody who sells a high VeRo product on there. These mothafukkas had the nerve to suspend his account until he gave them his supplier and connect for his product so they can "verify" that it's legit. He says they really weren't interested in whether it was legit or not b/c he never had a complaint from a buyer, they were trying to strong-arm him for his connect so they can contact the connect and cut him out entirely Luckily for him he has a pretty good relationship with his connect and they assured him they weren't gonna accept any new sellers.

fukk them nikkas. But like you said shyt like that happens when there's no competitor. I dont even know have any other auction sites.

:wow2: eBay will do whatever they want and people will just keep on dealing with them because of their dominant position online.

Amazon, Craigslist, and other smaller niche sites depending on what you are selling before dealing with eBay if you can. TBH the paypal fees alone are not the biggest issue, its the ridiculous advantage buyers have. Its almost as if you have to take a picture of the item IN ITS BOX before shipping it out, show it boxed, keep your usps/ups/fedex receipt (I will ALWAYS drop it off now instead of having the usps pick it up now)

Yea man the buyer shyt is what really has me scared. Im always when I sell something just hoping nobody screws me over. IVe heard stories of someone selling an xbox on ebay. The uyer saying it was broken, getting their money back and shipping the seller back a box with a rock in it

been selling on ebay for years

Ive been on there and havent had any issues either *crosses fingers*. But when you read stories of ppl with power seller accounts from the late 90's saying how they got fukked over it kinda puts things in perspective and let's you know you can get got at anytime.

Never had a problem either.
But i know its out there.

never had a problem with paypal

Do you verify your using the real paypal website, instead of a phising website?

I used to sell on ebay a lot when the sneaker game was fire... they froze one of my accounts and requested a ridiculous amount of id and documents to verify I was the account holder.

Months later I opened another account this time using a credit card only to register and attached it to my chequeing account. I would do my transactions and always keep my paypal balance very low so as not to get funds frozen/stolen again. I few years ago I bought a pair of what turned out to be fake headphones from a seller in asia ... after I left a negative review e-bay deleted it and requested that I verify the merchandise was fake
I reversed the charges and didn't pay some outstanding seller fees then just left my account vacant ever since.

e-bay owns paypal and they charge you for paypal service fees as well as their own when conducting business with them and you have no alternative. They are double dipping on seller fees and I don't fukk with them anymore. kijiji and the list now only no court dog.

I would be more worried because it looks like your account has been compromised.

Does someone else know your password?
