The fun never ends does it?
I've been reading a lot of complaints from our buds across the pond.
Watch the ones down under too.
Quote:ÂIn its current state, the legal framework in which Ebay and PayPal are operating in England does not efficiently protect consumers, victims of a fraud or a party to a sale gone wrong.
That's in the UK where PayPal is regulated by the government. :blinkie: The unregulated US PayPal provides even less protection.

Complaints from US customers who sell on the UK site too.Â

She has that same text in all of her listings. If eBay/PayPal had half a brain they'd realize that providing such poor customer service that your customers get that pissed off at you isn't a great long term strategy.
That is a FACT.
That is one reason why I'm so obsessed with it.
I've NEVER had a "PP" problem at all but know the
PP policies are bogus and are hurting so many.
I thought when ebay bought them they were going to turn IT around.
Hell they replaced all the key staff.
They introduced all these cool SPP BPP programs.
At first I really thought they were going to do the right thing.
Then Dammon left. Oh NO.......
Glad I'm a skeptic too.
Because all they did was trash what could have been a good thing and was.
ebay we don't say IT enough.
THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH BOINKTARDS.

They're good at that. Look at what they've done to their $300 million acquisition Half.com in the past 5 1/2 years.
Quote:The payment went through PayPal and the seller followed all the recommended guidelines, including trying to get the buyer's credit card checked.
Four months later PayPal claimed the money back and a £7 processing fee because it said the transaction was unauthorised..
I've had a few of these where I followed all of the rules, shipped to a confirmed address with delivery confirmation, and PayPal later reversed the transactions because they claimed the buyers had used fraudulent funds.
I also had problems with their debit card last Fall.
Both ebay and PayPals actions are not that of legitimate ethically run
companies but are most akin to underworld criminal organizations. IMO
All the inconsistencies and all the stuff we see and hear everyday
can NOT just be BS.
Like I said. They are run like a criminal organization.
Guess what PP? Someone is watching.
And MY socks have friends.
Yet another, this time from the BBC's consumer affairs reporter "The Watchdog"
Quote:Watchdog has received thousands of complaints from viewers about PayPal the online money transfer service run and recommended by auction site eBay....[looks like the "whiners" on the PayPal board are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to people who have had problems with eBay's less than safe payment service PayPal ]
Once a buyer has transferred funds to the seller of an item on eBay, the seller receives an email from PayPal giving them the go ahead to dispatch the item to the buyer.
But sometimes things do go wrong. We've heard from people who sold items on eBay, but later found out from PayPal that the buyer's account had been used fraudulently. In some cases the funds had come from stolen credit cards, in others it was a case of the buyer's eBay account having been accessed by someone that wasn't known to them....
