I made a donation to a charity in Mexico, where I was staying, on Christmas. I was told the payment went through. I wanted to pay directly with my credit card, but the payment was processed through paypal. That might be at the request of the charity. I’m not sure. In any case, I got [...]
I just made a purchase with my cell phone and it didn’t ask me whether I wanted to use my bank (primary) or credit card. It paid through the bank and I was charged $37.50 twice (once for insufficient funds and another for overdraft). I only have the bank account for PayPal as I don’t [...]
I was charged $250.24 on an item that cost $241.44. I called up pay pal customer service to clarify the issue and apparently they charged me the excess as a “conversion fee”, i paid using my bank account and even though other people i know that have used the same payment method through pay pal [...]
I wrote paypirates to ask them why they felt it right to charge me a service charge to receive money that I will never get. How could they do this? Because the funds in question that PP is charging me 3% on were taken as part of the 11% in fees eBay took from the [...]
I had a customer in 2005 bid on a phone, we both lived in the same state so we agreed that I’d take down the listing and we’d meet up and do the exchange that way. We did just that, the following week the customer goes to Paypal and says he paid for the phone [...]
For some reason, even though a person can use his credit card and PayPal can receive an Approval Authorization Code from the credit card company that the charge is approved, PayPal developed a new system that gives them the right to debit/charge your credit card account in order to confirm or verify it. It is [...]
I have used Ebay for 10 years as a buyer and seller. I have had a PayPal account for 4 years. The last 5 years have seen a large increase in new fees for practically every keystroke while creating a listing. It would seem the marketing department at Ebay has been working overtime to come up [...]
I had a complaint about Paypal having unauthorized access to my checking account without sending me prior notice. They deducted a refund $301.57 out of my checking account for a .30 fee they charged for my refunding money to a buyer. When I had them correct the issue, the next time I had a sale [...]
I bought several books from a UK bookdealer. I understood that I was paying an exchange rate for changing the money from dollars to pounds. What Paypal does not disclose is that since they use foreign banks to do this your credit card comapny will also charge you a fee on top of this, called [...]
I wanted to send $25.00 to a charity in Jamaica in response to the good work being done by the Missionaries of the Poor as shown on the Eternal Word Television Network. EWTN had an address in Atlanta, Georgia to send the check. Somehow PayPal became the intermediary for the transaction. I was promised that [...]
Bought a 35 dollar item. MY CC that I had never used anyhow as a backup form of payment had expired. I do not do business with the CC companies any longer. 35 is not much I agree unless there are hundreds or thousands of people doing the same tonight. How many transactions do they [...]
I received my monthly bill from PayPal and it had a late charge of $30.00 and also interest charges for a late fee for not paying a $21.00 bill. I have had a PayPal account for years and have never been late. I finally came to realize that I had never received the bill in [...]
Rolling Reserve: I have had my eBay account for over 5 years and I have NEVER had a charge back or any bad feedback. I make and sell doll clothes. My eBay and Paypal fees exceed $80. every month and still they put 10% of my daily sales in reserve for 60 days. Doll Clothes… [...]
