PayPal
Chargebacks Left Seller $782.35 in the Hole, Items Gone

PayPal is a ripoff business from hell, a deceptive company with false promises, and it has done this to others too. (Omaha and Palo Alto, NE and CA)

This all started in 11 when I opened my PayPal account for the first time. I was a seller on eBay, and I must say I had a very good name for myself. Well, I sold a lady a baby swing for 65.00, shipping included. She waited 2 months after she received her baby swing to contact her credit card company for a refund, without contacting me or anything about this. So I got online one day to see what was going on and found out I had a credit card charge back in the amount of 65.00.

I called PayPal about this, and they said they would help me out in any way. I was cool about it, thinking I had someone on my side. Come to find out that was wrong. They hit my account for 65.00, so now I am at -65.00 in the hole. I have contacted PayPal about 100 times by email and phone, and I have gotten a few PayPal people on the phone who hung up on me. As time goes on, this will happen to me the same way about 5 more times. My loss is now over $700.00, with none of the items I sold to these people back in my hands. PayPal says they cannot help me out on any of these problems I am having. But they can come into my account and take my hard-earned money. What a scam.

Items I am out of now: baby swing, brand new Sony Hi8 camcorder with night vision, 3 DirecTV Hughes Gaebo receivers with 2 remotes and 2 access card 4 cards, and 3 other small items. I am now $782.35 in the hole in cash and also missing the items I sold, so figure double that amount, and that is what I got ripped out of.
