Paypal sucks big time!!!
Hehe...I was conned out of $500+ abt 6 mths ago by an ebay seller. I bought sets of 'supposedly R1s", I did confirm with the seller before I bidded. When the sets came, !(*@&!%@!&$ they were all dvdrs. Only 1 set happened to be HK import.
I filed complaint with Paypal under "Item not as described". 2 days later, Paypal wrote back," We will take no action or refund your account because you did receive the item. Only when items do not arrive, we will try to help you recover the funds but we do not guarantee that there will be any refund. Have a good day." Then cancelled my complaint.
CRAP! "HAVE A GOOD DAY"! $500+ conned and told me to have a good day? Refusing to give up, I called customer service. "Sorry Miss, nothing we could do!"
I called my credit card company, gave them evidence that I sent back the items back to the seller. Credit card credited my account. No way am I going to pay $500+++ for 16 $1 dvdrs. Would you pay $500+++ for 16 DVDrs?
2 mths later, Paypal suspended my old account, saying that I have to pay them back the $500++. Hell with that, I just opened another account with another credit card and bank account. Pay them back? OVER MY DEAD BODY!!! Luckily, I've always withdrawn $$$ once I get them. Otherwise, Paypal will take those $$$ in the balance.
Another incident was, I think a year back, I wanted to buy the R1 Vampire Princess Ultimate Collection set. Same situation, seller said they were R1s. Came as DVD-Rs. Initially, I filed it under "Item not received" coz it was already one day to a mth and item had not arrived. When it arrived, I tried to file it under "item not as described". Paypal cancelled the complaint, "You can only file once, irregardless of what it is."
Same process with the credit card company and same procedure Paypal conducted.
If it is not for the convenience, I'll boycott Paypal. :mad:
