account creation
1) I received a bill from Paypal Credit that totally stumped me. I made a fraud call to them. Later I examined my American Express account registered with Paypal only find that they didn't put the charge on my registered American Express card, but opened a Paypal Credit account. The offer for extended pay, which I've used in the past, previously, stretched out payments to the American Express account that I have on file. I just lost 2, 300 American Express points and have a new credit company that I don't want. When I called and asked why I didn't see a notation on my credit report about opening a new creditor, I was told that they don't report to credit bureaus. That way they stay under the radar in opening an account for you...it's secret. When I tried to find out how this happened all I got was, "Have a good rest of your day." 2) Additionally, somehow they opened an account for my 91 year old mother who is in a nursing home and makes no purchases. They sent her a bill for an airline purchase that she obviously didn't make. I am cancelling all dealings with Paypal and Paypal Credit.
request to release my funds
I am writing to seek an assistance in filing an appeal with Paypal. I recently received an email stating that they will held my fund for 180 days and I am not allow to withdraw any amount. I sold an items on Ebay, it was legally and confirmed purchased, all transactions requirements submitted to Paypal. I myself contacted the buyer for confirmation of his purchased provided as well his contact information for other verification required. Paypal have already confirmed the shipping details, tracking number, contact information and valid ID required were sent to them. At first I understand they're procedure in holding payments for 2 weeks it's their security purposes. Gone 2 weeks my account is still on limited status I decided to appeal my case with them. I received an email saying -Investigation is Complete " We have lifted the temporary hold on the funds. You now have full access to
those amounts in your account." - Then I was surprised after few minutes I received an email again stating - Money in your PayPal account will be held for 180 days. After 180 days, we'll email you information on how to receive your funds.- with no clear reason at all. The item were already delivered and confirmed by the buyer, I haven't receive any complaint from the buyer so I don't see the point of putting it on hold for that such period. I emailed them to request an appeal to uplift the hold status but they denied it and continuing putting my accounts on hold for 180 days (6mos). I understand PayPal’s need for holding funds for whatever charge back purposes, however a review of my account will show I have already registered a valid credit card that they can charge in case this happens holding the funds for #189 days (6 mos.) which is not referring to their Terms and Condition Is not reasonable would conclude that holding my entire balance for 180 days is excessive and my be viewed by some as punitive or as already stated, an unnecessary abuse of power and perhaps even contrary to the laws of some states. I've been reading a lot of complaints with Paypal came with same issue as mine who abusively and unjustice of holding funds. This is not fair and against consumer rights. I am requesting to Paypal to release my fund. Holding the full balance of my account is not fair, I am hoping you can help me raise my concern with Paypal and take the necessary action on this matter. I am here deeply asking for your assistance to help me with Paypal releasing my funds and stop holding accounts for that such period which is i believe against the law and unfairly to they're customer. I am looking forward to your immediate action. And thanking you in advance for your warm assistance.
We paid $58.oo for the Adobe 9 Vista version and received no product; upon contacting Adobe, we were told there was no record of an order. We have the PayPal verification paid receipt.
condoning fraud
I bought a fish on eBay on March 24, 2015 and it arrived sick. I have an email from the seller admitting that the fish WAS sick when he sent it. I bought a fish on eBay on March 24, 2015 and it arrived sick. I have an email from the seller admitting that the fish WAS sick when he had sent it to me! I contacted the seller (bettanique79) right away to let him know that the poor fish was sick and I also let him know the following day (I was too upset to contact him as soon as the fish died - I watched the fish die and it was traumatic to watch). In the seller's listing it states " Prior to shipping, your fish will be thoroughly inspected for any damages and sickness. In the event that we find any damage or sickness, you will be notified and reimbursed. If there are no damages or sickness, we will ship your Betta. " The fish WAS sick and the seller knew that it was sick and the seller, eBay, and PayPal will not issue me a refund. The seller committed FRAUD and eBay and PayPal are both allowing him to do this.
hard credit inquiry
Pay pal credit palced a hard credit inquiry on my credit report and i have never request credit from pay pal.
11/17 A slander of credit action is being worked up against Paypal Inc. Please Google for the details, and how to become an action class member if you've received a "hard" credit inquiry without your authorization.
Just received the same thing. Mine was done by Micro Soft technical service, of all people. They submitted the request to pay pal, without my knowledge or permission to process, my billing for tech help. I have never used Pay Pal, will never use them and also will be buying a MAC computer as soon as I can. No more business from me, for Micro Soft.
Just realized via a good look at my credit report that PayPal had done the very same thing to me in 2015. Unfortunately, the damage was done and it isn't worth bothering to ask them to remove it now since it is dropping off of my credit report next month. Very shady, PayPal...
Same here. Just had a hard inquiry on my credit report from pay pal. getting this issue fixed quick. my credit isn't the best and I don't need things bringing it down when I am trying to bring it up.
Same thing just happened to me. I used PayPal months ago but was notified of a hard inquiry today. Never requested anything or used since so why? Not acceptable.
I just received a notice that my credit score was dropped by 5 points.
I checked my credit report details and found that "CCB/PPC " had made a hard inquiry...
I searched internet and found that it was PayPal that made the inquiry, and I did not request any credit from them.
PayPal is damaging honest people's credit reports by making these unauthorized inquiries.
I also just received an alert from Lifelock and of course I did not authorize it. I have a PayPal account and have had one for years but this is the first time I've seen this. I also will contact PayPal to find out about this.
the clowns at CCB/PCC just did HARD INQUIRY on me.. it was NOT authorized. I called their number and they sent me the info needed to have it removed. they even said there was no records of ANY activity on my closed acct more than 3yrs ago.
If you need their number, it's [protected]. give them this info... and FAX it too [protected]
1. The date of the inquiry
2. Your full name
3. Your phone number
4. Your email address
5. Your billing address
6. The last four digits of your social security number
7. Your full date of birth
8. A brief description of the reason for the request
PayPal needs to be majorly sued over this crap, as it's damaging to ones credit..
Scott..
I had the same thing happen! How is this possible!
I was just alerted by my Equifax monitoring that PayPal hit me with a "hard" inquiry as well! I applied for, and received, a credit line 6 months ago. I called PayPal and was told some fish story they "periodically check credit for credit line increases"! I told her I never, in my 38 years of credit, had a hard inquiry on anything unless I applied for credit and see NO NEED for PayPal to just hit me like that. I closed my Pay Pal line of credit with her, told her that's illegal and the internet has volumes of similar complaints, and I will dispute and file a complaint to add on to the many other complaints I see people are registering. PayPal is corrupt anyway, lousy customer service, and they lie to you when you have a sale that went wrong when one gets stiffed from a buyer. I will sell now on Amazon.
I haven't received access to my card
I paid money for the virtual credit card on the website www.paypalvcc.com. After that I haven’t received any access to the card info and the rep started to tell me some ###. WTF? I was sick of the promises and blah-blah, but the rep only told to be patient and wait more time. I want money back and I have no idea how to get it back. I wonder if there are people, who have the same problems and what have you done in such situation, please post comments.

Horrible. This guy requires an ID in order for you to complete the transaction with him. Not to mention his website looks very shady like a foreigner would create, but requesting an ID? You have got to be kidding me? That is fraud at it's worst. Not to mention that since I am a female, this sick pervert wanted my ID and also photos of me naked. I was like what?! Are you kidding me? This sick son of a ### wanted me to send naked photos of me.
Filing a takedown notice on his website and reporting him to local authorities.
Absolute con of a website. Guy is still up and still scamming people, dumb ###. Will be filing a takedown of his website within a couple of days. Took the recommendation above and bought from these people: WWW.auctionessistance.com/shop
Agree, this thief has stolen over $400 of my money. Avoid this website at all costs. He will infect your computer with malware.
I buy all of my VCCs from Auction Essistance now.
you are from Auction Essistance provide here you proofs like invoice and where you paid.
PayPalvcc is a horrible company. They are a scam. They are the same people operating cheapvccs, cheapvcc.biz, cheapvba, lightvcc and many other fraud websites.
Avoid this if you want to be throwing money away. He is a criminal and currently wanted in many countries for big fraud schemes. I have also put in a court order against him and is currently pending.
If you want to buy from trusted companies, go with the sellers on the Aspkin forums or Auction Essistance.
hard credit check without my authorization
I also had this problem I didn't realize I was applying for credit through Bill me later since I already had PayPal using my Bank. I thought you had to do something with Bill Me Later so I mistakingly went on thinking it was an update for PayPal. Very angry this is such a misleading practice, not everyone understands how to do this stuff right on a computer and I am one of them.

Buyer was Nancy L Cornell
Please email me back at astertrevino@hotmail.com
I have used Paypal to buy many products for myself, as well as my family. It is convenient, and a secure way to make online purchases. Today, I wanted to make a payment on a product I am making payments on, and I could not gain access to my account. I tried to use my secure questions, but I still could not get into my account. I know I was answering the questions right, and unfortunately, I had not updated my phone or credit card. After a very frustrating twenty minutes I called the customer service line, just to find out they had a massive breach of security. The waiting time was incredibly long. I was so annoyed that there was not a warning on my account when I tried to access it. I cannot understand why I was not sent an email, or some type of warning, I commend them for protecting their customers private information, but they also have a duty to keep their customers informed, which this company failed to provide. I think I will use money order to pay off this product.
I ran into an interesting phenomenon a while back - I call it “The Federal Phenomenon”: when you start talking to some of these stubborn and reluctant Companies about involving the Feds, their attitude changes completely! Obviously, they don’t want any Federal agencies coming around asking questions, nor do they want more Federal laws and regulations applying to them and their Companies. I’ve used this in the past (with Humana Right Source, for one, when they wanted to charge me $3, 000 for a little bottle of eye drops and $4, 000 for another little bottle of eye drops), and I had occasion to use it today with PayPal!
I ordered some software from a Company a coupla months ago, which was supposed to set up a website or 2 (10, actually, but I never got beyond #2). They insisted that I use their web hosting Company, probably because they were getting a commission off the deal! I used my PayPal account to pay for it. When the whole deal began to go sour, I promptly closed the websites and changed the nameservers (which are obtained thru a different Company, this time for FREE, which “aim” the prospective customer to the website on that particular web host). I notified the software Company and the web hosting Company that I had done this, that the software did not work as stated, that I could get almost NO technical support from them, and that I wanted a refund! Of course, they ignored my E-Mails! So, I filed a claim thru PayPal for a refund, stating that it was a FRAUD! That it had been misrepresented! That these people only wanted the $$$ and that I intended to pursue it as far as possible. Then I began a long agonizing process of calling and continuing to call PayPal, to follow up on my claim.
It is a REAL PAIN IN THE KAZOO to try to get thru PayPal’s phone system, as they put a bunch of recorded messages on first, one has to prove who is calling by entering the correct phone number + the last 4 digits of the “primary account-holder’s Soc. Security Number, ” and such. Then a syruppy-sounding lady keeps asking what I want. I try to tell her that I want to talk to a live human being, but of course, the dumb machine is not programmed to recognize this as a response. They continue to kill time by trying to send me an E-Mail about some of their policies, and such! I continue to press * and # and 0 and whatever other keys I think may disconnect the syruppy-sounding machine and get me thru to a live human being. Eventually, usually after 7-8 minutes (I’ve actually timed it, and that’s no lie), it will connect me with some sweet gal in the Philippines, who knows absolutely nothing except how to speak English and halfway sound like she is in the U.S. I always ask if she is in the Philippines! Usually, they are startled by this question, as they think they are fooling someone! After killing some more time with these people, trying to explain what I want, they usually connect me with someone in the U.S., especially after they realize that they (a) don’t know what I’m talking about (b) can’t help me (c) all the above!
PayPal “dragged it’s feet, ” taking the side of the seller, stating that it was not a physical product but instead that it was a “digital product, ” in other words, the “purchase was for a virtual, digital, or intangible item, which is not covered under PayPal Purchase Protection. We only cover claims involving physical items that can be shipped and tracked.” There was no tracking number, nothing was shipped (as the software was a download), there was no item to be received, nada, zilch! So, I kept calling PayPal, and the web hosting Company kept trying to tap my PayPal account! One lady suggested I close the PayPal Debit Card, which I did, and apply for another one (which I haven’t done yet until I get a final resolution on this claim). Another man said the web hosting Company had created a second invoice in order to tap my account. I kept getting all kinds of “run-around.” PayPal kept trying to decide in favor of the seller, close the claim, and such. I filed a Fraud Complaint with the F.T.C. (Federal Trade Commission), even tho the total was only slightly over a hundred $$$. After talking to PayPal again this past Mon., I called the F.T.C. again and added PayPal as a party to the Fraud Complaint, since they kept stalling, finding in favor of the seller, and such; I stated that PayPal was a part of the Fraud process, that they were making $$$ off these fraudulent transactions, and such. In talking to PayPal again this week, I (of course) got their Philippine people and Puerto Rica (I think) people first, as they feed callers there first, then transfer them to someone in the U.S., if needed. The “foreigners” could care less about the F.T.C. - in fact, some of them DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS! But those in the U.S. look at it an entirely different way! At first, I began to tell the U.S. “Help” people that I planned to add PayPal to the Fraud Complaint with the F.T.C., and nothing changed. Then I began to tell them that I HAD ACTUALLY ADDED PAYPAL TO THE FRAUD COMPLAINT WITH THE F.T.C. - and then EVERYTHING BEGAN TO CHANGE! I also added that I plan to send an E-Mail to my Congressman, recommending that new laws be passed which would regulate PayPal as a bank, which it is not! It is a “financial institution that provides Internet services to expedite payments, ” but it is NOT A BANK! So, therefore it is NOT regulated by the F.D.I.C. (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) like the banks are! When I began talking along these lines, about involving the Feds, their attitude at PayPal changed completely! Suddenly, instead of giving me the old “run-around, ” that they would “take my case under advisement, ” and “send it to the right department” (kinda like a bank loan where they have to “send it to the committee” and the committee “doesn’t meet until next Monday - I’ve heard this before!), I found that the person I was talking with, had the authority to make a decision RIGHT THEN, and it was IN MY FAVOR! He IMMEDIATELY credited my account for the amount claimed! And, of course, he took it out of the software Company’s account! I was really surprised, in a way; yet in another way, I got to thinking about it, and I realized that they don’t want any new Federal regulations or some Federal officials coming around asking questions! Remember this, as you may be able to use it to “expedite” a claim in the future!
Jul 4, 2010 Add Funds from a Bank Account Completed Details $99.96 US this is from paypal to binverse unauthorized money taken from my bank account what the hell gives paypal the right to just take money out of anybody's bank account i think there in bed together I PRAY BINVERSE AND PAYPAL BURN IN HELL TOGETHER MAKE DAM SURE TO KEEP A GOOD EYE ON PAYPAL AND ### YOU BINVERSE KICKASS
I had a paypal account. I will give the short version of the story. I requested a debit card from them for my account ( so I can have direct access to MY money instead of waiting 3-5 days for it to transfer to my bank account). I never heard anything, then one day I got an email from them saying my account had been restricted until I provided them with..and followed a long list of very personal info including my SSN none of which were optional, I give them what they want or I cant use their service. I was very confused by why all of a sudden after having the account for over a year and never doing anything that would raise suspicion would be having my identity questioned. Concerned that this may be some sort of scam by someone claiming to be paypal wrote to them and simply asked why they needed this info, why I was being restricted to my own hard earned cash and I asked them to provide proof of who was requesting this info. Now you would think that paypal would understand nowadays you cant be too carefull. Instead I get an email that my account has been seized and I could not access any cash ($700) in my account for 6 months, no exceptions, no compromises, no explanation, no way to reason with them, all because I had a few questions. Disgusting! I am being punished for trying to protect myself. They have MY money, gathering interest and fees and I have no choice but to bend over and take it! Dont trust paypal. Buy a credit card machine if you run a small business, its not worth it.
Anyone buying from this company be very aware they are fraudulent. ladies especially if you are shopping for wigs particularly lace systems they are a complete fraud. They have advertising everywhere, Ebay, I offer and trade type sites Including their own web page Sunshine Sea Beauty..I typically don't buy from anyone over seas because of trust issues. But at first the person communicated fairly well concerning the product i wanted to purchase and assured me thru emails I meticulous so I described everything I wanted to the tee. Having done many years research about the type of product I wanted I wanted her to not misunderstand. After placing my order after four days of emails I received it five days later via air mail DHl. Soon as I opened it I wanted upset.The item was not anywhere near what we spoke about or the pictures sent to them (that was the pic on their very site) . I emailed the company immediately. And opened a Paypal dispute claim. Thinking that would build leverage to getting consumer help..But it didnt.. After more days of back and forth thru emails and the Paypal resolution center, Paypal decided without even reviewing the proof thru emails and thru the own resolution center to not only help the thieves in China steal money by not demanding a refund from them to compensate for a fraudulent item but took their side and as I said without review of the twenty days initially given.. And closed the case .. I opened two formal complaints with the regulatory boards against Paypal and the company they helped steal my hard earned money and next will be consumer affairs in washingon dc. and attorney general office... I don't tolerate liars and companies here or overseas to take anything from me and practice dishonest and unethical ways to get a dollar bill...(To be continued)... The pic below is what they promised and advertised but what I received wasnt even remotely close to it..
Where do I begin? Paypal was a disaster, enough said!
I bought a stereo for my car on eBay which saved me a few bucks. Paypal FREEZES my account! I called them thinking that it was a mistake, not even! They pretty much laughed thinking it was somehow funny, and this was a manager if all people.
Theeven worse part is that I had over $200 in my paypal because we recently sold our old laptop on eBay. Now they get to keep that money. DO NOT TRUST PAYPAL. I repeat, do not trust them!
Paypal somehow thinks that it's okay to just freeze your account and nit return your funds. They should be closed down. The manager was totally insulting too.
Close your paypal account before they close it first and don't give you back your money even though you demand it.
Hi, my name is Stephane and I received there are few days, an email (in French) with a button "Activer" to active my PayPal account by clicking on it, a thing that I do not made. Please check the proof join with this message.

I've invested $400 into this project and according to online cabinet I had accumulated $1400 profit but when I tried to withdraw it my account got suspended. Customer support explained me that it happened due to troubles with my initial deposit. I asked for refund anyway but was refused.
A gentleman with email of jim_04z@msn.com bought a wedding dress from me on Craigs LIst for $450 for his daughter in Nigeria. I mailed dress to address given. I was contacted by Jim Harry and told Nigeria Customs needed an additional $100 to release dress. I mailed $124 through Western Union on 8/10/2010. Next day Jim Harry calls me, emails me and texts me multiple times demanding an additional $140 to do a final release from Nigerian Customs. I email him back and tell him I have contacted real PayPal and sent them copies of his emails along with confirmation and verifications from PayPal. The real PayPal said the ones I received were phishing attemps and there were no monies in an account on hold for me. I gave Jim Harry the telephone number to call for PayPal and he insisted he always uses the one listed above of PayPal1worldservice.com. (Something like that). He continues to plead and beg me to send additional monies as he is in the UK and that is why things are messed up. I refused to budge and as of now I have no wedding dress, multiple phone numbers from this Jim Harry, and am out my money.
I made a police report, I contacted Western Union, I talked with PayPal and was advised by police to file this complaint. I can be reached at bfree2bee@yahoo.com if you care to assist me in obtaining my money and dress.
Please respond to me and capture these crooks!

paypal is a scam and stole almost 9000 from me
I sold a watch on ebay for 8650 dollars and sent the item to dubai tracking number LK180240226US.. According to USPS the item was givin to the customs of the country and the watch was delivered and because dubai only has PO BOX it wont show delivered it will only show as far as item was given to customs. The person who purchased my item took advantage of this and claimed he never recived his item. Now i am out a watch and i am out almost 9000 dollars. Paypal even suspended my account and took my money and returned it back to the guy in the middle east. Now he made off with a free watch and his money back. Paypal is a scam they are a lie and they offer no seller protection at all.. Never use paypal take bank transfer or check theres no one who can protect sellers from this crap they only thing golden is direct funds to your account without any middle man

scam, stolen money
I used the website www.paysafecard-paypal.com in order to exchange money. I communicated with the guy and he was really helpful. But after several days, I found out that this ### charged me for $75. I tried to reach him, but it was impossible. Total scam, be aware and don’t believe to this guy. Maybe someone has any idea how to track this man and return money back, please contact me then or leave a comment. Thanks.
The company itself it's a scam :)
Please avoid using it !
I have brought 2 tickets one of 100 Romanian RON, and one of 300 RON.
I used that of 100 RON, and when i tried to use the other one of 300 RON, the pin was locked.
I send an email to them, and they request all my personal info, to give me a refund.
They never give me an explanation, why that pin was locked.
Of course i did not send my info to them, because i don't know who they are.
And i am pretty sure they can see that ticket wasn't used. so they simply could send me another pin. but instead they ask for all my personal info, thing that i consider suspicious.
And now i just lost 300 RON equivalent of 80 dollars.
So better avoid using this company products !
Isn't this ridiculous, a service that does not require any personal data, to request all personal data ?
unauthorized charges
I want to warn everyone not to use the website www.paypaltoskrill.com. They charged my account twice, and they didn’t reply to my emails. They took about $300 and didn’t warn me about it. Also their customer services phone number was invalid. I want to return money back, but I have no idea how to do it. Please, if someone here had the same experience, can you help to return money back?
I receive and transfer my $250 payment from Paypal to Skrill without hassles. I have been doing this for a while and when I check my two accounts, they are quickly updated. Personally, I receive good services from them.
theft by unlawful taking
I sold a tattoo machine through EBay. It was bought, paid for through PayPal, shipped, delivered to Shamrock Supplies, acknowledged as received, PayPal held my money for 8 days, Finally released the money to me. 2 weeks later, EBay/PayPal filed a "chargeback" wherein the buyer used a fraudulent credit card. The buyer has my merchandise, has sent 4 emails stating he knew the payment was not honored, has since already resold my tattoo machine. I have no machine, no money, and EBay/PayPal has pretty much said Oh Well, too bad, so sad, sucks to be you. They are harassing ME to pay THEM the money for MY tattoo machine that Shamrock Supplies received and resold and admitted same in emails posted through the EBay site. They are telling me to contact the buyer, which I have to no avail. I am pursuing the possibility of Federal Fraud and Theft by Unlawful Taking because they used the Internet to de-fraud me. EBay and PayPal were complicit in the Deception.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
This same exact thing has just happened to me yesterday! I have shipped my item & had to pay for postage out of my OWN pocket, just to satisfy Ebay & PayPal, then they tell me - "oh well, you'll see your money in about 20 DAYS! I am BESIDE myself! I filed a formal complaint with the FTC this evening. I've made 3 calls to Ebay demanding they release my money to no avail.
I will NEVER use Ebay again! They SUCK!
ripped me off
So here is what happened: I received a payment of $20 from a friend that I transferred from my Paypal account into my set up checking account. Checked my checking account and found out that the money was removed from my account! Called Paypal and the rep told me it was refunded back to my friend! I NEVER authorized the refund yet the rep told me I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THE POWER TO DO IT. So Paypal stole from me because HELLO if I would have authorized a refund then WHY did I have it transferred into my bank account? I told the rep that.
Paypal is a THIEF.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
They are crooks, I was ordering something from ebay and the b****** though I was gonna pay their a** too after buying it with my debit card. Don't worry in a few years their ### will be paying back the people they sold from.
avoid this fraudulent website
Ukashtopaypal.net claimed that they can exchange Ukash vouchers for a paypal balance taking just 10% comission for such service. I entered details of my Ukash voucher on their website but never received paypal money. Ukash voucher wasn’t valid anymore as well so it can be considered as a scam. Avoid this fraudulent website at all costs.
robbed my money. cheating and scam
Paypal and ebay Robbed me for more than 10000$. No one wants to talk or resolve. They have no system and policies in place, just ripoff artists.
They are just rip off artists. Avoid these scammers, robbers . Ebay and Paypal are worst things to happen on this globe.
It is platform for selling all illegal, stolen, counterfeit merchandise for which they make more than 15 % in fees and exchange rates.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
interest free scam
Well there are several.
1. Interest free for six (6) months scam.
2. Changing payment received dates by up to two (2) weeks to justify added charges.
3. Clearing interest free balance to rack up interest charges on other balances and to add penalties.
4. Giving faults information on the phone to delay corrections to account till it is to late to be fixed.
For the past 2 months PayPal's Bill Me Latter system has taken all my payments to pay off balances not due till February 2014, and left interest barring charges unpaid to force higher payments and interest.
I found a payment from 10/10/2013 (date paid by my bank and credited by Bill Me Latter) moved to 10/22/2013 so as to fake a penalty on my account and justify loss of interest free promotion by making my payment late.
Stay away from Bill Me Latter. I am filling a Federal Complaint on 10/25/2013 against PayPal and Bill Me Latter.

wrongful chargeback
I did sell my computer on eBay France, demanded a payment via Paypal, and offered a hand-delivery. The seller notified me by email that his payment was validated by Paypal the following day.
Paypal U.S which handled my account, emailed me the validation and authorization to give away my computer.
The buyer had a profile "0" on eBay, so although it read that I could proceed to the transaction, I called Paypal many times, to make sure the payment was legit. The agents said it was "under review" and that it'd take up to 3 days to be "cleared". I checked my Paypal account later on, and my record indicated that it was « cleared ». The agents insisted I could give my computer to the buyer. I transferred the amount of the sale onto my bank account, and emailed the buyer to let him know, I could either ship the computer or give it to him in person.
I prepared the package sticking a large label with his contact info on it. I took a picture of it to add to the file of the transaction. I always archive elements considered "evidence" if a problem arises.
He said he would come by my place to take it, and asked for my phone number. He called me, came over to get my computer and left happy. I had the buyer sign a paper stating that he received the computer in person.
A few days later, Paypal emailed me a « Chargeback » notification; declaring that the buyer didn't authorize the transaction. This despite the email that the buyer sent me early on to notify me of Paypal's validation. Although I provided the document he signed as he took possession of the computer, and some other documents to Paypal, Paypal responded that since there was no proof of postage I had to reimburse them since they said they had to refund the buyer's credit company. At this time, Paypal has been relentlessly pressuring, and harassing me to pay them back. Since I have no funds on my Paypal account, they threaten me of "collections" and whatnot.
It's interesting to notice that Ebay/Paypal charged me for the commission of the transaction. This proves that they "recognize" that the transaction was properly completed.
As the police and the lawyer I consulted told me: The buyer has the computer, you have your money and there's no grounds for Paypal's case of refund. However Paypal's pressure and threats are unbearable and as I am investigating the company, I’ve come across a plethora of consumer's complaints against Paypal. I'm looking at a class action lawsuit seeking compensation of damage and harm against me and many other consumers. I would be most appreciative for any advice and feedback. I have all the documents at your disposal. (emails, the paper he signed, log of calls etc.)
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

ripped off
I ordered an office chair from Viking Ltd and paid using my Capital One credit card through PayPal!
I then received a call and an email from Viking that the payment had been declined by Capital One. So I paid using my Bank Debit card. Only to find that I was debited on my Capital One statement for the transaction. I had been using both PayPal & Capital One for more than 10 years till then.
I tried to contact PayPal but it was impossible to get through to anyone! While Capital One kept fobbing me off saying they will sort it out. A few months later they "SOLD" the "DEBT" to a Debt Collector called FPC.
I checked FPC out and the advice I got on the Internet was to ignore them!
I would really appreciate any advice!

I have a similar story, being ripped off by elcoplanet webhosting and paypal. Elcoplanet promised a webhosting with WHM access and 30 days money back, after my purchase they refused me to provide WHM access and refund also. I started a case in Paypal, which reported a virtual goods are not covered by their buyer agreement! Now I have submitted a report to 2checkout...
And stay away from ELCOPLANET webhosting, they are liars!
