  • Hey guys sign my petition, look for it at change.org, "wake up ebay".

  • It just happened to me. PayPal just locked in my account with $500 inside. I've called the my state's Attorney General and they've said that it was in the Terms and Agreements. This is stupid.

  • @JamesBond6773

    Stop using them.

  • @OhNoPaypal I wish I could. eBay only accepts PayPal and I get a check every week via PayPal.

  • @JamesBond6773

    For now you do... we all did. Then they steal everything.

  • why care about paypal asking for money by  ups or money orders paypal is bad

  • Google the stories about Power Sellers selling over 10,000 items over three years and having THEIR account locked. Some people have gone from making a living from eBay to having no money at all to live on, PayPal doesn't care.

  • its simple , paypal keeps your money for interest, scamming bastards

  • The crooks Paypal and eBay are the same company.They just stole $47 directly from my personal checking account without my consent. Interestingly they wouldn't release the money from my ebay sale for DAYS unless I gave them my Social security number! Now these CROOKS have my Social Security number and they ignore my e-mails to remove it.I opened an investigation about the STOLEN $47 from my bank account & they said "we've finished our investagation, send a letter to bla bla bla for the report"

  • Good for you for exposing how Paypal really does business.

  • We need to boycott them... seriously they're limiting people left & right for no reason.

    I setup a new, legit account with eBay & Paypal and sold shoes for $40... the buyer pays... i log into paypal to check up on my money and this is the first time i log into paypal after making the account and everything... guess what? "your account is limited".. FOR WHAT!??? And i didn't get all my money i got like $36 out of the $40.. and thats not counting the eBay fees... they're robbing us blind.

  • ebay they make you use only paypal as a payment source,do not link account with my paypal account,&i alwaystransfer sales to bank & withdraw the same day most times after recieving payment 3 - 4 days my checking balance stays about 5.00, paypal never rip me off, problem the buyers buy silver coins & say they are fakenor I getneg fedback,&i never get the coin back many thieves, on ebay and ebay lets them get away with it so ebay is a con website period.don't sell coins or money on ebay 90%!

  • If they take $1700 on my account, I would sue them. But all they saying is that they are holding the money, which means you will get it, they are just being careful, that you are not trying to scam anyone, as the account is closed for whatever reason.

    I had this happen before, if you gave them your info and verified the account, and is in good standing, talk to a senior agent, they do lift the hold, so long as nothing questionable going on. Do agree PayPal is very bad in handling this.

  • @RetroPCDOS

    The ones you have to worry about, is the buyers, as some scammers know the rules and find loop holes in the system, like trying to get you to sent a item to a "unverified address" and then put a claim in or claim you never sent the item and by the time you notice payment been reverse, the scammer closes his account and runs. Also if you read the fine print, buyer is not require to sent the item back, when a claim is put in and seller only cover up to $250 bucks, that rule sucks.

  • @RetroPCDOS

    You are right. But then again, Paypal created this system of loopholes for buyers to have the opportunity to do this to sellers. They are not required to change the way they do business since every class action lawsuit they settled without admitting fault. This only way to get away from all of this is to not use Paypal.

  • now I see many buyer don't like to use buy it now because they want to bid if it is too much and they win another item at a cheaper price they just ignore you anyways you can't leave them negative.

  • I just got a reversal and have tracking confirmation and delivery confirmation and they reversed over $1700 on my account with no warning as soon as i resolve this I'm done with eBay and PayPal for good this time.

  • @type2red

    For that amount you might want to get a lawyer. Sue Paypal, not the buyer.

  • @type2red Paypal is going to cause me to not be able to charge for virtual items on online games anymore because it takes them 7 days for $5 !!!, i am closing my paypal account as soon as it clears not going through ...

  • @KaiserVadin that is just ridiculous! But PayPal has so much support it's hard to not use them .....thankfully I got a refund from staples claim service it took me almost 3 and a half months. And by the way paypal sentme to collections for the negative balance and I had to fight to protect my credit score now.

  • but when they hold it for 180days they still send emails to all your buyers saying are you happy did you get your item if not you can get your money back and what are 90% of the buyers going to do lmao its a joke i had over 40 pound in account and half of them have left good feedback but they still gave them all there money back even tho they had left good feedback

  • THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME BITCH THAT FUCKED ME UP!!!!!

  • You guys should join the class action suit. Check out the law firm Freed and Weiss LLC

  • Is it smart to just not link up ebay with paypal and not to link up a bank with paypal? just credit card? that way if something goes wrong you can just go to your credit card?

  • @Johnnyboybravo

    No, that is not smart, that is stupid. Why? Because you are using Paypal to begin with. Period.

  • @OhNoPaypal from what I heard people who just used credit card never had a problem with paypal.

  • @Johnnyboybravo

    I don't think you understand this video.

  • @OhNoPaypal DO NOT USE USBANK ETHER they hit you with fees as soon as you go under $0 now this might change because of the law but still better safe then sorry ...

  • PayPal Sucks! Did you ever get your money back?

  • paypal = Mafia

  • Will this happen to me if I don't sell anything but I have PayPal balance?

  • @spbsix

    Yes. As long as your bank account is attached, you give them the right to withdraw.

  • @OhNoPaypal So wait, i created a paypal for ebay but didn't add funds, then i connected it to my ebay account, when i was gonna buy the item i bid on, i put the credit card #s/info and i don't know if it saved on ebay...do you know if it'll be saved on ebay and be connected to paypal? because i'm freaking out.

  • PAYPAL SUCKS !!!!!

  • wow dats fcked upp !!

  • Yes to Mammograms depends on donations via their website to provide free mammograms to low-income women and was shocked to learn on April 14 that PayPal had placed a Hold on their account. Why? In 2007 someone hacked into the PayPal account and fraudulently created a negative balance that PayPal states is now the sole responsibility of Yes to Mammograms. When asked what she is supposed to tell the women on her waiting list in desperate need of a mammogram, they replied, "Not our Problem."

  • they freeze accounts so they can collect INTEREST ON OUR MONEY!!!!

  • THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME!

    WOW... $700 IN THE ACCOUNT , LOCKED IN FOR HALF A YEAR...

  • PayPal is too widely used to be shutdown even if it is a pieace of shit. The best thing I can imagine would be that a good, reputable company like Google buys paypal, kicks out the motherfuckers and hires some honest real people that rework the agreements and stuff. Everyone would be happy and Google could once again feel being the king of the internet. Probably paypals just too fucked up atm so Google wants to stay out of it xD

Hopefully one day paypal replaces google checkout like youtube did gv

  • yes there are paypunks!!! ( no offense to punks, lol)

  • I am an online merchant and you know PayPal sucks. They limited my account many times even i provide them all the proofs they ask. Let's combine and join other like Moneybookers or Alertpay. They are far better then PayPal.

  • if you go to any merchant bank and setup an account were you are taking cc payment depending on what type of business your in they will keep upto 50% of money recieved for 6 months people need to understand the risks involved when accepting credit card payment thought any merchant bank or paypal.

  • Paypal is SUX indeed, i had same issue provide all they asked and still my account is limited.

    they ONLY and i MEAN ONLY reason they are still in business due keeping poor customers money they manage to grow so large most people one way or another have to do biz with them, if good company with acceptable spread come paypal GONE FOR GOOD.

    no wonder most peoples try to use western union or even expensive and slow T/T for business.

    the day paypal go down i will celebrate personally

  • People!!!!!!!!!!!! tell me the plz - call to PayPal from Ukraine will be free?

    PayPal withdrew from my account 40 and froze the account without any explanation and the transaction! and do not respond to letters

  • well said

  • Fuck PayPal. They're going to freeze my acct if I dont send them copies of a photo ID and SSN card (why? lol). I got my money outta there and bailed the fuck outta Paypal. Maybe they're not out to get anyone, but their policies are beyond fucking stupid.

  • @lokks707

    That's what I did before they could freeze my account... I still have a low balance of $5.43 that paypal will keep forever because I'm not giving them my ssn and ID.. Now they keep sending me e-mails every 2 days for me to give them that info.. Just be careful because they are sneaking these pricks, they won't ask you for that before signing up but will just interrupt your business and then freeze accounts ANY time they want.

  • dont trust paypal! read their terms and understand they are just a middleman and will not protect you against chargebacks. Their is plenty of videos of other victims on youtube that will show you their scams.

  • @510peeps when i want to log into my paypal there's a contract that says paypal can provide information about paypal acounts and it saysmy account will be deactivated starting in february 2012 if i don't agree should i agree? i'll just leave it like that

  • Selling 700 Subscribers for $8, PayPal only. Message me for more details :)

  • okay step 1 like the facebook page

    /Paypal-are-BIG-Thieves

  • Paypal just suck, they don't run on banking laws, they makup their own rules, I had a verified account with over 350 feedback no negatives and sold a $1000 highend laptop and without warning froze the account for no reason, saying that it was a high risk item, buyer left positive feedback and has bought a few items from me before and have sold high price items before. Ended up getting my money by talking to a senior agent. Don't care to use Paypal anymore, they do what they want to.

  • i feel you pain , same here , paypal holding our money for the 6 months, how stupid !!!

  • Never leave more than a few dollars in PayPal. Immediately withdraw as soon as it builds up.

  • Somebody should sue the dog shit out of PayPal. They suck in so many ways.

  • paypal sucks!!! They put a hold on my money but made sure they took there fees before the hold was placed.

  • Fucking cunts just limited my £500 and closed my account, verified all details the whole fucking shabang, after 7 years of use, what a complete bunch of COCKS

  • I made 5000 dollars on ebay selling fake raybans (: and i reinvested it all except for 240 dollars 2 days before they lockked me up!!!! Jerks

  • same thing happen to me

    fuk paypal!!!!biggest scam

  • I hate paypal they tried to get my moms bank account so we said screw you all!!

  • never use paypal, they do illegal

  • Their standard policy is to FUCK PEOPLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.....

  • fuck you paypal!!!!!! whenever I have 1 single penny, I IMMEDIATELY transfer it to my bank account, and only send the item ONCE IT IS ACTUALLY ON MY BANK ACCOUNT....FUCK PAYPAL SCAM PROCESS AND ASSHOLES WHO OPEN FAKE DISPUTES !!!!

  • Well, thank god i decided to do some background searches on "paypal" I have never used paypal before, and it is per now highly unlikely that i will use their services. I have always been very hesitant to using this service, so now my suspicions are being very well corrobberated indeed. I usually do my transactions with my Visa card, because that`s the easiest method i know, and why deviate from a good theing?! Phfuck paypal.

  • People NEVER EVER give out your social security number out on the internet unless you know their lagit. Do your home work first by getting ahold of BBB and you can get ahold of FDIC.

    You worked so hard for that money. Don't let some JERK OFF company scam it away from you.

  • Paypal is the biggest scam ever. We as buyer sell our items that we have payed for or aquired by other means and paypal steals OUR money. Now we are left with sending the item to avoid negative feedback but the money can't be touched.

  • A $3000 dispute was done on me a YEAR later after the product was received by the buyer. Paypal did not honor it, however, after this happened Paypal froze my account ANYWAY and emailed me and told me that starting on Nov. 4 2010 my account would basically be monitored. After that, Paypal started CALLING my customers and asking them if they were interested in initiating disputes. Yes, you heard correctly. Customers who never had ANY intention of filing a dispute were contacted by Paypal.

  • If you have EVER had a huge chargeback/or a dispute ($500+) Paypal WILL monitor your account. They act like they wont but they will.

    If you MUST do business through Paypal DO NOT leave a dime in your Paypal account. Ever. Get it OUT! If someone files a dispute through Paypal there will be NO money in the Paypal account for them to "freeze" therefore they will have to eat that fradulant chargeback/dispute. If Paypal tried to take funds from your bank account......do a chargeback on THEM!

  • Seems ever since they changed the rules (was in it 2008??) I remember people being upset about it but most people were not even aware of the change. Ever since then there has been more and more complaints and a lot of scams with this chargeback thing.. I have stopped buying and selling a few years ago and I will never sell or buy on ebay again but with paypal ... I am thinking I won't be telling companies to use it anymore... Not when they don't look out for sellers / companies ..

  • Ive had the same done over £2000 in my paypal account i gave them invoices they requested and then they shut down my paypal and ebay account.We all need to take some action they are low life scammers.I now have to wait 180 days to get my own money

  • I took care of my prob with them. that's all i can say. I feel your pain

  • both companys suck, I have been trying to close my accounts and THEY will not let me for 30 days...total scam, the buyer will always get their way

  • Do not pay them. never pay PayPal back. never.  They are a huge scam and they ruined my Ebay business forever. Stop paying them. I use to sell Gold Coins on Ebay, $7,000 per week business, then Paypal closed me down even i had a verified and top rating and rankings. they unilaterally shut down and frooze my account and i was left hanging with inventory and customs asking for product. so I hate paypal.

  • This is how we do crime.

  • Lets all join together and bring this M**F** Paypal down, they should never come back in there life..

    All those who work in Paypal are BIG THIEVES... THEY WILL ALL DIE with our CURSE...

    LET GOD SEND THEM STRAIGHT TO HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

  • @TheLockerzgift im with you .. those bastards stole 1800 from me!! lets do somthing im serious!

  • Paypal once locked my money. When I called they unlocked it while I transfered my money and closed it again. I guess it was a one time deal and I got it. o_o

  • @Makadonska27 OMG I was talking to the person who made this video as well about paypal accounts as well I still have not ran across anything strange yet I still don't under stand why they want to steal peoples money...??? I'm starting to think only sellers are having this problem I only buy items thru my paypal account...

  • get a atterney. kick there ass for us please

  • what thefuck is this this you have to deal with? I know they fucked with me too, I lost thoaudns of dollars. selling me items on a sales pitch is fake. Sold me 4 notebook computers taht is broken and desotryed by Hewlett Phuckard.

  • riiight paypal ays sorry. ye riiight like they got a fucking hole in there fucking paypal heads

  • I worked in a company looking at IT with regards to paypal. My own issues with them aside, I was far more concerned when it got revealed that people at the call centre (at least the one they were looking at) in India were selling customer info to organised crime. When they outsource service they outsource your private information.

  • @Makadonska27

    Thanks for the reply. I am not surprised. The company itself steals from customers, so not surprised the employees are crooks.

  • @catfoodv It almost seems like you have to check the box marked incompetent and with poor language skills or career criminal to work for some of the call centres on the subcontinent, sadly in my experience paypal are not alone. Paypals problem is that offshoring already terrible business processes can only make the situation 1000% worse.

  • I just got SCAMMED for almost $200 and they let the little FUCK get away with it!!!

    DIE PAYPAL DIE!!!!!!

  • I went to the bbb and made a complaint alot of ppl have done that.They got pay pal to right back to me and i did a rebuttal to them, haven't heard back but my hold is off not sure if it made them look closer at my account and see that i was a good customer but my hold is off glad:)

  • lucky for me:D i only buy stuff

  • Paypal freezes and locks accounts to make their own interest.

  • They took the hold off of me i reported them to the bbb because i was so pissed.I think they took it off because i was getting good feedback who the hell knows.

  • @pinkcat2010

    How did you report them? I want to do the same thing, if enough people get to together and expose these crooks maybe something will change.

  • @Mobile3999

    File a small claim case with your local court. They'll pay up.

  • I get why they froze his account. over 1k of money spent with paypal and if the buyer happened to ask for a refund and the seller disappeared or refused paypal would be screwed and they need to be able to pay that money back to the buyer so they wanted to make sure they didnt have to spend their own money for this so that's why they kept his money, you know...just in case...Paypal is only good for buyers, sellers get screwed there unless they know waht they're doing and protect themselves...scam

  • Ohhhhh geesh I'm just now hearing alot about paypal....I have never experienced any problems.

  • @LadyJ992

    You will soon. Paypal steals from sellers, that's how they make money. This is why Mag Whitman didn't win California. Voters know how she does business.

  • @OhNoPaypal WORD...I'm just now learning the hard way how PayPal screws people, got me for $1200 as of Jan. 22, 2011

  • @OhNoPaypal if you pay with paypal it's fine but if you are seller and use paypal to receive money they will freeze it at one point and you will get screwed. Simple as that. What are you going to do? Sue them for a couple of hundred bucks?

    My advice is not to use paypal at all, eventually everyone will learn but by that time many people bosses are going to get unfairly rich at the expense of others.

  • @OhNoPaypal hey paypal froze my money too after selling about 20 items in two months and getting two buyer complaints. The buyers got their money back and the cases got closed but my money are still frozen. So did you at least get your money from the frozen account after 6 months?

  • @LadyJ992 Had no problems for years then all of a sudden I was hit with a "random" security call from some guy in the India call centre. Then they did it with every transaction. Annoying, but then I found out even when the online transactions in question was blocked by them and the money not recieved by the seller, paypal kept it and made it impossible to get it back. Bascially, I kept getting routed to some call centre in India and they did absolutely nothing at all.

  • thank you for this video closing my account now

  • Wow Ebay is holding my money, and they won't even give me a reason.. What the fuck. Will this overall affect my money in the bank thats connected to paypal/credit cards connected or just my paypal balance? Please help :c

  • did you get your money after 6 months?

  • Ebay Paypal system needs a more powerful, regulated sale oversight system to avoid account restrictions. TransactionReportSystem would prevent sale risk & abuse thru an automated/enhanced sentiment report system, graduated member grading & a risk level selection method. Available for 3 yrs but is perhaps complicated without study. Ebay can compute member credibility with a perfect system. I have 13 yrs experience w Ebays wild west environs. 1 of 4 transaction reporting limit max is one key.

  • hey =) this happend to me too.. i had to wait 180 days to get 516,82 back!

  • Those fuckers made me owe almost 200 dollars..and it for some reason says -53.73. Wtf..

  • OH NO Now Paypal stole 2:28!

  • That is a crapy way to run a business feel like im a kid and they are keeping my money from me:(

  • Paypal just put a hold on my money what the hell is this anyone know why?

  • @pinkcat2010

    No one knows why. This is just the way Paypal does business.

  • @pinkcat2010

    They do it to earn interest by holding people's money..That's one thing they'll never tell anyone but people already know.. Not sure if your transaction was an ebay transaction, but they claim it's to cover the cost just in case the buyer wants a refund..

  • PAYPAL is a scam!!!!!!what happened to me was that i sold items on ebay totallying up to 30000 then paypal freezes my account for 180 days then when i get it back turns out i get robbed of 2000 and a fine of 200 for there "service".Then i called paypal and they said they couldnt do anything because the person who robbeb me used the money already. @#$% payENEMEY

  • you think paypal is so ******* dumb thumbs up

  • who in the pits of hell do paypal think they are to be asking for social security numbers? their site is not secure for this kind of information... the authorities and FBI really need to investigate these crooks because this is illegal... but like always big corporations get away with ANYTHING!!

  • The lady on the phone who happens to be a REAL bitch first asks to check the status but right off the bat knows "oh there's nothing we can do about it!" bullshit is possibly the only way to talk.. Paypal can die of cancer!

  • Paypal Keeps The Money The 180 Days Pass By And They Dont Return Crap

  • fukin paypal limmited my accoutn and now my hard earned 330$ are now with them fuck them assholes

  • You have lost 1000$ but Notch, the guy that has developed Minecraft has his account frozen now with 600.000 Euros in it, think about that

  • DO NOT USE PAYPAL.

    THEY WILL LOCK YOUR ACCOUNT AFTER FEW MONTHS.

    SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • REPORT THEM TO THE BBB AND YOUR STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL

  • How come you get to speak to someone in the US? I always end up speaking to some guy in India who doesnt even pretend to give a damn. Then I found out they had been selling customer details (Allegedly) to organised crime.!

  • Well, I'm dealing with them right now 'cause my account is limited and they told me last night on the phone, that the #1 reason they do this to a person's account is to save/protect themselves from any losses...

    This coming from a multi-billion dollar company...

    They didn't even mention anything about buyer or seller "protection", until I asked them so in reality that buyer or seller "protection" is just pure puffery... That's when the representative remembered to add it into the package...

  • Paypal stole 637.99 from me paypal sucks

  • fuck why would you use your bank acount get a per paid card that is what i use

  • Sellers need to go to amazon escape the ebay.

  • they fuckin bastards,same happened to me

  • did u get ur money back ???

    

  • Paypal is SHIT!

  • .. I've just withdrawn 1100 bucks from my paypal account back into my bank account as soon as I've finished watching this...

  • Comment removed

  • paypal stole $501 from me, fuck paypal.

  • when I used to use paypal I made the buyer wait 3 days till I banked the money.cash is king.

  • @bigfist255 HELLYES. Wait until the money is put into your bank account before you ship the item. Thats what I did. That way, PayPal couldnt randomly freeze my account.

  • i have $4500.00 in a FROZEn account. im getting it in 35 days

    yayyy

    let me tell you now, calling them emailing them doesnt work.

    go to small claims court if anything

  • @samuelsainz626

    Is this what you Did? Small Claims? And you won? I am facing the same shit now!

  • @4xleader1

    Yes. I heard small claims will win all the time. Paypal knows they are in the wrong, they can't afford to fight everyone in court, so they just release the money.

  • thanks for looking out man

  • wow, never sell a car on eBay.

  • pay pal is one big ass greedy dog !

  • theres a reason they call it paypal, there pals with taking your money, not with you. lol

  • I have a friend who used to sell on ebay and use paypal. One time he got $1000 in his bank account which is attached to his paypal account. One time he checked his bank account and he realized his account had $1000 balance but now it's -$1000 which means he got $2000 stolen from him via paypal. He called his bank and got his $35 overdraft fee reversed, but only got $1000 back now brings his bank balance to $0, he called paypal and paypal said we can't help you get the other $1000 back sorry.

  • I had an experience with paypal once and will never forget it. I sold a desktop computer to a buyer, the buyer didn't know how to get it to work so he wanted a full refund and filed a not as described dispute. Paypal sent me a resolution message saying I either grant a full refund or escalate the dispute. I didn't think it was fair so I escalated the dispute to paypal. A few days later paypal granted the buyer full refund but didn't say why, the buyer then listed my item on ebay for extra money.

  • I work at PP. This guy is full of it. If his account is locked up like that it is because of criminal behavior on his part. You are not hearing the whole story here.

  • @jerrybriardy

    I could easily delete this comment, but then again, I'll be nice enough to let you look like a fool. First of all, you work at Paypal. lol

    Second, maybe you have not work there long enough, or been born long enough, to hear/read all the stories that EVERYONE ELSE have made on the internet about Paypal.  I guess they are all criminals too ah?

    Word of advice, you need a new job. lol You work at Paypal. lol

  • @jerrybriardy you must know nothing about your workplace then

  • @jerrybriardy

    FUCK YOU!

  • @jerrybriardy Not true. You must be backing them up because you work there or are hired from PayPal, to protect there scams so they do not look bad. PayPal are crooks. Listen to everyone on here. I am going through the same thing. I filed a claim with the BBB. I am waiting to here from them. Tomorrow I am filing a cliam with Consumer Affairs. If nothing happens this week, next Monday I will be filing suit against PayPal. I will not let this go. PAYPALS SCAMS NEED TO BE EXPOSED.

  • i got fucked for 450$.. i had tracking # and it clearly said buyer received goods. paypal says YOU NEED SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION FOR ITEMS OVER 250$...

    USPS DOES NOT EVEN OFFER INTERNATIONAL SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION!!!!!

  • PAypal is a criminal enterprise and should be investigated. Paypal is a thiff

  • /watch?v=26j-u8ruHq8

  • Refund the money you transfered from your card back to the card. If you got money from buyers, tell them that you will have to refund the money and they will have to send them over to a new user and then put them into a credit card by using another account.
