PayPal
Sale money pulled from checking over another user's debt

Internet & Web

After completing a sale on eBay, the buyer sent me the money via PayPal. I transferred this money to my Canadian checking account. Three days later, PayPal reversed the transaction, transferred the money OUT of my checking account back to PayPal, and then froze the account.

Their reason? Someone I do not know sent me money 10 months ago and now owes PayPal money. PayPal wants me to contact that person and force him to pay his debt, or they will not release my money. The account in question is not my account, nor do I have any control over that account or its owner.

PayPal is holding my money hostage in an attempt to get me to be their collection agent. This is of course against the law, and I have filed criminal charges with the proper authorities.

I suggest all who read this not use PayPal. They are committing criminal offenses and are not to be trusted.
