I hate them as a company and hope everyone else sees the light! I hear that. I once had my identity stolen and had my PayPal account wiped, transferred to euros to some other address. I immediately asked PayPal to help me; 2-3 days later, they said they could not detect any unusual activity going on with my account, and refused to help me any further. Luckily the thief was stupid, and the money wound up in limbo in my previous Skype account, and Skype was able to refund me the cash before it could go anywhere. All in all, I'll give PayPal 0/10; would not use again. Title: Re: god bless paypal Post by: sealberrder on September 06, 2013, 02:36:22 PM How else do you think paypal is such a big & rich company?

maybe they are taking the money to pay for big withdrawals from other people :-) Title: Re: god bless paypal Post by: MiningMole on September 09, 2013, 03:45:30 PM Earning interest on frozen funds seems to be part of their business model.
Avoid paypal, use bitcoin. Title: Re: god bless paypal Post by: sublime5447 on September 09, 2013, 04:04:13 PM Shit, dont hold 40k in your paypal...how hard is that? I use paypal like I use my blockchain wallet it is not for savings!!
They let you send money for free! I personally love paypal. I think that shit is kool. Title: Re: god bless paypal Post by: RodeoX on September 09, 2013, 04:06:00 PM Earning interest on frozen funds seems to be part of their business model. I think you are on to something here. The original business model PayPal was going to use had them making their money only on the float. Then came the fees and now apparently hostage taking. Avoid paypal, use bitcoin. Bitcoin for the win! Title: Re: god bless paypal Post by: sublime5447 on September 09, 2013, 04:28:24 PM This was totally justified on Paypals part. This was about protecting their customers from fraud. Nothing else.
Title: Re: god bless paypal Post by: gadman2 on September 10, 2013, 07:01:00 AM I don't understand the bad wrap against PayPal here. People simply don't understand that if you break their rules then you are at risk of losing your money. When you successfully create an account at PayPal without accepting their terms, then and only then do you have any right to bitch about PayPal for whatever reasons.
Title: Re: god bless paypal Post by: GIANNAT on September 10, 2013, 07:24:35 AM They let you send money for free!

Something is wrong when they dont need court orders to be even able to chargeback transactions :P Avoid PayPal like plague Title: Re: god bless paypal Post by: sublime5447 on September 10, 2013, 03:14:45 PM They let you send money for free! I'm missing something here You really are one else does it, though google wallet is supposed to start.. IT IS 100 % FREE FOR ME TO SEND FUNDS In lots of countries they have a gift option an it is totally free. Title: Re: god bless paypal Post by: balanghai on September 10, 2013, 03:17:34 PM soon enough more and more will use bitcoin because of the freedom issue than the service charge issue.
Title: Re: god bless paypal Post by: Subud! on September 12, 2013, 01:45:35 AM Paypal is only good for people in US, if you are not better use it for only small amount. I have a paypal before they asked me for passport and my bills still they freezed my account for 6 months.
