PayPal, they can be cunts.
Let’s start from the top, When I separated from Mrs B mkII I changed the details on my PayPal account to credit sales to the ex as we downsized.
I don’t sell for myself on Ebay so it wasn’t a problem, the funds went through to her and that was that.
Some years later I agreed to sell on behalf of a charity, again no problem the buyer buys whatever and the funds go to PayPal and PayPal passes them to the charity, or so I thought.
I received an e-mail from PayPal saying they would hold the funds for 21 days, again no problem.
Then after 21 days PayPal took the value of the sale from my current account and sent it to the charity!
The reason is simple, an unverified PayPal account, the phone number is obsolete, we don’t live at the address and super-duper my ex-wife’s name is on the account.
For over 3 months I have been fighting with what I can only describe as the most obstructive people I have ever dealt with, call centres that do not seem to have a grasp of English, to downright rude yanks.
Latest fob me off is waiting for a call back from a manager who may never bother returning my call.
Followed by 42 min hold just to be told they will only speak to my wife.
As a financial organisation it is like a vending machine that does not give out goods.
Massive bunch of cunts to a person.
My next port of call will be to get the charity and the buyer to contact them and explain the situation in the hopes of getting my money back (£106.00)

Sorry to hear of your plight m’lord.
Lady Creampuff and I have had separate PayPal accounts for over 20 years. We’ve not had a problem yet, touch wood.

Same here, use it with ebay gum (northern ebay) not a problem.
Upto now anyways.

On the rare occasions I’ve been engaged in a dispute, either as a seller or buyer, it’s eBay who have called the shots, not PayPal.

Good and long deserved cunting. Paycunt is undoubtably a cunt of the first order.
It’s monopolistic ( try using eBay without a PayPal account). Their “help line” is the worst and most obstructive service ever. It offers no protection to eBay sellers as buyers that complain are believed 99% of the time and receive a refunds without question. Many honest eBay sellers have been scammed this way.
Whilst it’s good that buyers have protection on Paycunt there needs to be some balance – Paycunt couldn’t care less about sellers and practically take over their bank account when their is a dispute.
Elon Musk is a weirdo cunt as well.
Fuck off.

Although PayPal will still be able to be used, eBay will ditch them as their main source of payment some time this year. They will have their own payment system and will make it easier to pay by cards.

They shouldn’t call t a helpline. It’s a misnomer. A better name would be ‘Unhelpful robotic-sounding, faux-Yank-accented cunts in the Philippines who constantly use your name throughout their scripted exchange.’
“Phone the ‘Unhelpful robotic-sounding, faux-Yank-accented cunts in the Philippines who constantly use your name throughout their scripted exchange’ and wait no longer than 90 minutes to speak to a patronising Filipino cunt.

I don’t have a paypal account, don’t want one but I seem to recall some time ago I had to use PayPal for something.
I can’t remember how it worked but it was something like my credit card payment went via PayPal to the recipient… what a load of bollocks!

PayPal? Vermin – they routinely steal (I use that strong word advisedly as I have the financial transaction records to prove it) money from me, every call to customer services is an hour long nightmare, dealing with thick aggressive lying bad attitude c*nts in Phillipines call centres, nothing done, utterly useless, hate them hate them hate them!
Based offshore with no UK Office, purely for legislation and tax avoidance, never ever respond to complaints, lying crooked slimy bastards!
PayPal need to be shut down, I simply cannot describe my burning hatred for these f*cking evil rodents.

If upset, get a pen and payper and write a letter of complaint. Or Pay a Pal to do it for you.

Bulla the leaden seal that is stamped.
Pope Pius V
In 1570 Pope Pius V issued the bull Regnans in Excelsis, which excommunicated Queen Elizabeth I, deprived her of her right to rule, and released her subjects from obedience to her.
Rightly so.

They can be right buggers.Utter cunts may be a more apt description.
They tried robbing me last year,used the FCA against them and bummed them good.
Get fucked.
2
FCA you say UT?
On it – I want a World sized piece of these b*stards!

Oh yes..filled in some info on their website then 1 or 2 emails and after a month or 2 got a complete refund.
Before that Paypiss had just blanked me.
The cunts.
2
Serves you cunts right.
Stick to cash in hand or, at a push, cheques.

I recall I had to refund someone through PayPal and because the funds were not in my PayPal account the recipient had to wait 3 weeks to be payed and gave me bad feedback. Funny thing is if PayPal want money out of me they can withdraw it instantly from me bank account ?

Paypal, paypal paypricks… god almighty let me cunt the ways…
I am deeply suspicious of “Big Data” generally and any and all online payment systems particularly so held out for years against the temptation to sign into this shit and did a LOT of reading before I did so. There was no lack of horror stories of witheld payments, misappropriated funds, hijacked accounts, arbitrary and untraceable deuctions, their screech-owl asiatic call centre drones… fucking hellski!… do I really need this in my life?
Its conjunction with the Bay of Fleas always was/still is an ill starred incestuous pairing skirting the fringes of the EU’s monopoly/duopoly regs. In fact it looked so fucking ropey that I thought shit there must be another way or a competitor in the ESCROW market and when I realised there wasn’t I put in a speculative call to Dave Henshaw (of ‘Bank of Dave’ fame) and put it to them that maybe he and his front man Dave Fishwick should get in there and work something up. I never followed it up though.
“Paycunt couldn’t care less about sellers and practically take over their bank account when their is a dispute.”
Aye; they also seem to take it upon themselves to alter your security and payment preferences/permissions without fucking notice so the first thing I did was to set up a ‘buffering’ account solely for the purpose of shifting MY money in and out of Pisspal and this is the one I’ve ‘allowed’ them to link to and there is never more than £0:50p in it so that fucks any shenanigans they might pull.
“Elon Musk is a weirdo cunt as well.”
…and some. This little freak will be forever on my hate list for several reasons but speaking personally it’s for his slagging off of the British Cave Rescue Counil’s dive team who pulled those kids out of Tham luang cave. Him and his ludicrous fucking submarine, wank-can techno-fix!!
https://www.vox.com/2018/7/18/17576302/elon-musk-thai-cave-rescue-submarine
Whadda fucking twat, obviously hadn’t the first idea of what’s involved in cave diving/rescue’. I don’t ‘do’ heroes as a rule but I’ve met Rick Stanton several times and rarely do you meet such a self-effacing fellah nor is there a more competent one in his field/cave.
“Fuck off.”
Precisely… the second reason is that Musk uses Paypal to effectively de-platform websites, publishers and retailers who espouse any views to the right of Arthur (cunting) Scargill. For that he must swing.

Well I was hoping for a more constructive discussion,
As the account has a different name on it, (I changed it from my name to my wife’s name and put her lapsed bank details, phone number, and e-mail on it, but remained the secondary e-mail address) Pay pal will not talk to me.
I can prove every transaction taken from my account.
They agree that they took money from MY bank account to give to the charity, they allso agree that they took the money from the sale and are holding it.
Customer services will not deal with me because I can not give the middle name of a dead person or the name of the hospital my ex wife was born in!
I was perhaps hoping for an indicator as to how to get round the front line and speak to someone who a, has a good comand of english and b is willing to sort the problem.

PayPal are cunts.
I’ve had an account for 20 years, no issues never had a complaint or a dispute, now they have banned my account and wont respond to email, phone calls, local Australian Disputes email nothing. The account resolution process does not work when you follow the instructions it just loops back to a notice stating “You can no longer use PayPal” with zero explanation why. They are a piece of shit of the highest order. I only use PayPal for Ebay and again 20 years no issues.
