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. [quote author=sneakymagenta link=topic=2724.msg9761#msg9761 date=1140459552] Complaints from US customers who sell on the UK site too. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13825&item=6246026951 [/quote] 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.

Re: Complaints from Customers mount in the UK that PayPal is Taking Their Money
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.

Quote:Because all they did was trash what could have been a good thing and was. 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. 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.

Re: Complaints from Customers mount in the UK that PayPal is Taking Their Money
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.
