PayPal
Dispute Over 2nd Life Gaming Credits Closed Within 2 Days

PayPal currently is allowing scammers to perpetrate online fraud by letting them use its services to scam people out of their money. PayPal is only interested in making money! They allow Internet gaming scammers to post and use their services for payment, yet won't guarantee the services or intangible items because they can't or won't enforce these items.

Example: my son purchased Lindens for an online game called 2nd Life. The reseller, Eingee, has the PayPal logo and uses PayPal services for payment. The reseller accepts the funds and is scamming people out of their money. When I contacted PayPal, they opened a dispute and then closed it within 2 days when the reseller responded to them that he/she had sent the credits for Lindens (gaming credits). PayPal took this person at their word and closed the dispute. All PayPal is concerned about is making money!

In my opinion, this is akin to aiding and abetting criminals. I presented PayPal with documented proof that we weren't the only ones who got scammed, and they stated that they won't guarantee intangible or virtual items. Then they need to stop aiding criminals by refusing to allow the use of their services. This, in my opinion, is just like financing terrorism by allowing funds to be sent overseas. They are the middle man, the company being used to finance criminal activities!
