I think he's just confused about PayPal and probably think it's a new company. Because common sense would tell you that such a huge company would not survive, have customers, if their thing was scamming customers out of money.

They do not actually scam users for their money but there are some serious issues with it. For instance, they are famous for banning accounts without any solid reason. They then hold the payments or completely deny it. There are many shad activities as well like when balance goes to negative, they will send money collectors to your home.

Only reason they are so much popular is that they do not have a good competition.

Paypal is not a website that will scam you, but maybe because its a long process will make you think that paypal scam. You must be patient if you want to use paypal because every transaction definitely requires the process.

Paypal isn't trick and I think the explanation behind that is one can't be absolutely great and furthermore can't be absolutely awful as despite everything they have some favorable position over Bitcoin as in they a help board that control exercises and can take care of issues you have in regard of misrepresentation and the preferences and that has been an or more on their part. On the other hand, I think the issue really begins by not perusing in points of interest the terms and conditions or the guidelines overseeing the utilization of the administration in this way you disrupt a norm unconsciously and the control is the run for a locales with extensive measure of client then they are rapidly to release you on the off chance that you so wish. So it is anything but a trick yet the standards are simply excessively inflexible for a significant number of individuals.

I once sold something to somebody who paid through paypal, and they did a charge back. I won the case, but for some reason I still wasn't supposed to get the money back. But I called, and they actually gave me my money back since it wasn't my fault.

Just weird that a person can do a charge back and you won't get your money even if you win.

Paypal does everything to protect the buyers, so it's not so good for sellers to accept PayPal as a payment method since they can't have enough rights to protect their goods before scammers. No one wants to waste time with some stupid support tickets.

Anyway, Paypal is a good way to send money internationally since the fee is quite cheap.

Well, this had nothing to do with the protecting the buyer. The decision was the buyer's bank's decision, and they determined that he was in the wrong.

I have had an issue with Paypal and while I was trying to look for a solution on the internet, I came across this website (https://www.consumeraffairs.com/online/paypal_02.html) where everybody is complaining about Paypal. Most of the complains were actually similar to the one that I have. I thought Paypal is a credible company but now I have started feeling worried about my funds stuck in the accounts.

In actual PayPal is not scam , most of the times problem take place from our side but sometimes a small bug Result into bad experience for us .
Here most of the times people does two type of mistake . First type is to have proper details of the account hodler , if there is small mistake of the account holder and if in any case he will pay money and in case of any change of the details during payment gateway , they decline the payment or hold that amount of money to stop any type of scam .
And second type of mistake is that the most of the times when people create account then they select business account instead of personal/individual and when they recieve payment then company will ask for the full KYC buisiness verification .
So better to try PayPal with small amount of money in very starting as a demo .

It is kind of acting like a scammy one. Their ridiculous acts on accounts just made legit accounts close. A lot of people had stories on how their funds are holded there and they are waiting so long for any reponse just to know what's the next step just to solve it.

I also experienced the same problem with your about limited paypal account. where paypal I have can only be used to receive payment only, and can't perform other transactions including withdraw. there are requirements that I have filled to resolve the account, but until now there has been no response from paypal. I really do not believe this should happen. maybe there is a best solution from you?

I never had any problems with Paypal before. Paypal has been around for years and i just can not believe if you say Paypal is a scam. If Paypal is a scam i am sure it will not exist today, it has been shuted down for a long time ago. I guess because Paypal is getting bigger, they have to change their rules so they could be better though for some people they can not accept the new rules.

I think he's just confused about PayPal and probably think it's a new company. Because common sense would tell you that such a huge company would not survive, have customers, if their thing was scamming customers out of money.

Paypal is a popular payment gateway which is officially leading in the commerce market however if you face any transaction failure it may be from the third party websites which you try to make payments using Paypal.

I haven't encountered any problems with my Paypal account. My account is safe and hasn't been compromised. So I don't think Paypal is a scam service provider. I guess it is just that their system is not perfect yet so there's been system breaches that hack the client's account and stole money from them.

It was very surprising that Paypal began to treat customers so badly. Previously, I repeatedly returned money without problems for low-quality services.

The one disadvantage to Paypal is that a purchaser can contend with a deal later. A dealer needs to realize what they are doing to not lose that cash. Numerous individuals simply kick back and lose the money, while a decent Paypal individual, knowing the framework can contend back and generally win. On the off chance that you send cash with Paypal, record the reason and the same is all the more valid for getting stores. Take a photo of something that you offer and take a photo of delivery things as well.

One of the problem when you are using virtual money. We do not know if it is scam or not, we cannot recommend virtual money for a friend, there is no assurance for us to trust on virtual money. We should seek for some evidence to have a trust for our own money
