I Have A Real Bad Taste In My Mouth
Dealing With PayPal
By Trent Huddlestun
I sold 54 items from ebay in about a 2 month period... about $8,500.00 worth of Dinar.
Everything was going smooth... I even paid all of my fees for PayPal (since they take it away automaticaly) with is no problem. I used paypal to send eBay their fees also.
I had 10 items on ebay going with the payment by PayPal... I had someone who bought 7 items for about $2,000.00 that thats where the problems begain...
I got an email from PayPal that they were "concerned that I received unauthorized funds to my account" so guess what happend...
1. They held the money that I got for the auction... which I can understand that..
2. Once they were done with their so called investigation about 3 days later it turns out that the buyer just needed to update his phone number...
3. Now they want to verify my information... which would be great if I was in America... but I am in the military in Iraq... and it will be a month before I get this darn letter that they sent me and I will never be able to accept a phone call from them. Oh yes... also you are correct about the phone number... it never works.. and I just get a message to call a 888 number that would be nice to do... but I CANNOT CALL 888 numbers because one again I am in Iraq.
So bottom line I can understand security but their customer service sucks with a capital "S". Its been 7 days now and I have not got 1 email back from them.... I have money being held, cannot accept payments for auctions that are listed, etc...
I am looking for an alternative way to PayPal and will NEVER use it again.
