I am reporting PayPal because not only have I heard of them ripping people off, but they are totally unfair! I am fed up with PayPal, and I hope to get this issue out across the world so everyone can know EXACTLY how they are! Everyone thinks PayPal is secure and safe... Well, they are not. I have gone through a lot of issues with PayPal, and today was the end of it for me!
I had listed an auction on eBay for a "wholesale consumer lot of electronics." The auction was for $5,000.00 Buy It Now or best offer. I had not made a sale on the auction yet. I listed the auction 3 times and had a lot of questions but still no sale. That's fine. Today I logged into eBay to find that my account was closed... I was very irritated. I had 99 feedback, all 100% positive!
I didn't know what the problem was... I contacted PayPal, and they told me I could NO longer use PayPal... WHY? Because they said I was a threat to their business... For the lot of electronics... How am I a threat? I haven't even sold a lot to anyone yet... And on top of that, I have invoices from where I purchased truckloads of electronics! They wouldn't even accept the fact that I did have invoices and was willing to fax them so they knew I had the merchandise on hand... PayPal is a complete rip-off!
I even have buyers who purchase my merchandise on a weekly/monthly basis. I have references from these buyers... And PayPal still wants to do NOTHING about it. They just want to treat someone unfairly in their business... It was my only means of income. Now I have truckloads of electronics and no way to advertise what I have for sale! I just felt that I needed to get this incident out in the open so other people do not come across something like this!
I wish everybody the best of luck with PayPal, but watch your back! They will eventually try to get you in some way or another, as they did me! I am probably the most honest seller on eBay! I did everything to keep a good selling reputation, and now it is ruined!
Thanks a lot, PayPal!
