I was ripped off by PayPal, which, by the way, eBay owns. I shipped the products to the customers in the amount of $2,647.46. The money cleared and I thought everything was okay. Then eBay suspended my account, and to my shocking surprise my PayPal account was placed on limited access, meaning it is basically frozen. They said there was suspicious activity on my account.
I sell and ship an average of 1700 dollars of products a week and always withdraw large sums of cash. The smallest ever was 787 dollars. When I went to withdraw the 2600 dollars I earned, suddenly it was a problem. Needless to say, eBay has no phone number to call and does not respond to emails, and when you call PayPal they just put it all on eBay. It sounds like the classic bait and switch to me. I warn you: never use PayPal, and if you use eBay, only accept money orders, checks or cash, because trust me, they are working together.
Oh, I almost forgot: to sell on eBay you must have a PayPal account, and you must put "PayPal preferred" on all your listings for sale. Wow. If anyone who has been ripped off by these scam artists wants to get together to file suit, feel free to email me.
