More PayPal Lawsuits
from the sue-away dept
PayPal has become a lightening rod for lawsuits lately. I guess that's what happens when you are a tech company that actually goes public in such a market. The latest is a class action suit from angry users of the service who have had their accounts frozen for no clear reason, and no recourse. It is apparently impossible to contact PayPal customer service. One guy had $30,000 in his account which he cannot access. While there are still questions as to whether or not PayPal is really running an illegal online bank, it's clear that if they are, then they're not very good at it.

subscription fees for a website. Are their
any non-bashing sites so that I can see both
sides and make a decision?

Re: paypal
Overall, though, it's certainly easier than setting up a merchant account.
However, with all the new fees they keep adding, a lot of people have been saying it's not worth using any more.

Re: paypal
Any help, testimonials about PayPal horrors that I can get and that especially lead to cold hard facts would be welcome. I don't even have an attorney, but plan to go it alone.

Re: Paypal Froze my account
I'm going alone, not even an attorney. Their first move is to try to move venue to California.
Any help of any kind appreciated. Wish there were enough people in similar cases to mine to form class-action.... suit.
Thanks

Re: PayPal
It is easy to fund your account and withdraw your money, offers bulk-pay for merchants, bank-to-bank transfer for just 45 cents, and very easy to do business with. Money-order by fax makes payment easy for offshore customers.
No charge to send money anywhere and just 2.6% plus 35-cents to receive it. Icludes a 5-level
Affiliate system.
CacheCard is an exciting alternative to PayPal, StormPay and ClikBank.

Re: paypal
You and everyone else is right about paypal.
Their company or whatever they consider themselves as sucks. For me I am going to sue them.

Re: PayPal
So far no money has been paid. We called our credit cards and nothing has been charged. However, we are getting our money out and closing the account.
We've sent three emails to PayPal. The only response is a stupid form letter. Is there a way to send a complaint without going through their sight so that I can have a copy of the complaint?
Hope things work out for you!

Let's fight the good fight!!! We have to do it!!!
I'm not a programmer or I'd have a website for you already. If someone wants to build this site, my husband will maintain it for me (he isn't a programmer either).
What I have in mind is a website that collects everyone's name, the amount PayPal stole from them, and a copy of everyone's proof (perhaps in user supplied archived zip file). Also zip code would be important, as after collecting the info, we use it to petition senators, congressmen, federal prosecutors, district attorney's, the BBB, etc. to take action based on the evidence against PayPal. Hate sites are fun and all, but let's do something that will provide results.
A typical letter might read something like this:
"There are currently X people in your district with a combined total of Y dollars in complaints against PayPal.
We, the victims of PayPal, demand that you take action. PayPal is a conduit for fraud, and unjustly holds our money for any length of time they desire while collecting interest on the same."
Probably better than that, but similar. I'm open to feedback...
But let's do it. If you can build the site or host the site, please let me know.
I'll post updates here periodically,
Kortnie
