PayPal Robbed Me

Writer Wishes To Remain Anonymous

I opened a paypal account last year and completed all the registration including adding a card and bank account. Brought a few things off ebay and it was fine.

The problems came when i sold something. Sold a laptop for £700 and got payed by ebay. fair enough. but then a few weeks later i logged into paypal and to my horror i had -£40! and a message saying ur account is limited due to wierd behaviour. i contacted them and they said i had to confirm the transactions by faxing a sales reciept of what i had sold aswell as some other things.

I could do the other things they asked and the person i sold the laptop to even confirmed it! but i couldn’t fax a reciept cuz didn’t have one and havn’t got access to a fax machine. I did contact them loads of times but always got the same answer saying please fax us he information required.

Now a few months down the line paypal has locked my account and blacklisted my card and bank account on paypal. I also have a debt collection agency after me to pay paypal the £40.

Paypal took £740 off me! and the £700 was never returned to the person who brought the laptop. I have been cheated out of my money by a rotten company!
