PayPal Community

I know how you feel. I kind of understand your situation, but the real problem is with Paypal Customer Service, or lack there of Having to search everytime for a specific answer to a question is maddening. And actually speaking with a person. Extremely rare. Being decent and respectful gets you put on hold for 51 minutes before your hung up on is a regular occurence. Holding times may vary. Only thing you can do is be an aggressive nuisance. Hold for as long as you are possibly able. It's what I'm having to do now. After 16 phone calls and countless texting sessions and constantly being placed on hold, the last time for 2 and a half hours, I finally found a sympathetic ear. At least I really do hope so. And be honest. My request is for a mere $70 bucks. And it's not about the Principal. It's about the money. You read that correctly. Harold and Kumar had their quest for a hamburger. I have mine.

This is straight out nonsense.  This should never happen and it is almost 100% preventable.  The main problem?  The seller done spent your money and all he has to do is not answer his damn phone.  It's that simple, the amount is probably to small for anyone else to care and meanwhile your feasting on a plate full of nothing.  And that sucks.  Whats worse? PayPal has no teeth in their bite to protect you.  I wish Paypal would stand up and "SAll we are is a fancy ATM."  There is no consumer protection on The Isle of Paypal.  The Solution?  Simple.  Whenever a consumer makes an online purchase from anyone, Amazon, Ebay, or Joe Smith... The seller cannot touch the money until the item has shipped. The money will sit on a digital hotplate until its scanned and loaded onto delivery services vehicle.  There have been to many times when Ive seen an item that Ihas a great price just to find out later that instead of it being here in2 days, that its now on back order and its going to take 2 weeks.  That's crap. What I've actually done is given a business a zero interest  business  loan.  No more. If a pair of Air Jordans are really available for a great price I want them.  But I'm not going to send some business my money just so they can collect my money and then go shopping.  We need a new bill of rights for online shoppers that seriously punish the thousands of scammers who do this type of nonsense daily!  ...
