Olivia,

 

With all due respect, you are about as helpful and informed as  your customer service (Paypal).

 

Not only are your examples flimsy and without logic, they are an insult to my intelligence.

 

DMV does not ask me for my birth certificate, SS card, credit cards and banking information when my license expires.

I simply send it in with payment or renew online.

 

See?  You have no comprehension of why Paypal is doing this, but some of US do.

 

You are a puppet, with all due respect.

It's funny that I have money in my paypal account that I can't spend because I can't verify my account. I think a text message to a cell phone would be enough of a verification.

 

So basically if we don't give you our Banking Info or Apply for your stupid credit card **bleep**, we can't verify our accounts.

I agree paypal has a lot of limitations to put on their users. Their verification process adds up to inconviences. I have funds to paypal that I cannot withdraw because I cannot lift my limit  for I am having a REAL hard time verifying my own account. I carefully followed their instructions on how to verify my account but paypal still can't verify me. What's with your verification process? Even if I followed the card linking directions I'm still unverified. Paypal always denied any card and any bank I am adding to my account. It's my hard earned money and I can't use/withdraw it. You act like as if you are making us money by using your service and limit us from using our own money.

Hi ,

 

I have canceled my Paypal account, how can I make the hold payment released?  The following is the story:

 

2011.1.2 I purhcased some "credits" at some site and I checked the credits are there. After that I canceled my Paypal account. several hours later I found my credits are gone and I asked the support of that site who said they got a alert from Paypal and my payment was hold on.

 

Could you tell me why? Can't I cancel my Paypal account after I finishing my payment? And because I have no Paypal account and I haven't got any information from Paypal in the original email ( I applied the Paypal account with it), how can the Paypal solve this problem? Don't they prepare to contact me? And where is my money? Can I get the money in my credit card?

 

Thank you!

I agree.  I will not be giving them that info either.  I can buy with just a credit card anywhere in the world. 

 

When I tried to link my card I got this reply: 

You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks.

Why do I need to verify my bank account?  Why can't i just use my credit card?  AND Why is the PAYPAL credit card ...OK?  Sounds like a class action law suit for an antitruxt violation to me.
