Is it possible to CALL Paypal - to actually SPEAK with a human being?

I have been working on a disputed transaction through the resolution center without "appropriate" resolution. It's not the amount of the transaction, but the principle of the situation. I got taken by a vendor who was apparently not properly vetted through paypal. One transaction on my personal account and one transaction on my business account; the business transaction was reversed; the personal one was not. This is really unsettling.

 

And this is the transcript from the Paypal Assistant...

This transaction was disputed because of fraud. The case was "resolved" in favor of the seller and should not have been. How can I SPEAK with someone from paypal as this needs to be revisited.

It looks like you want to report an unauthorized transaction, is that correct?

No

Go to the Resolution Center, look up the transaction to open a dispute, then escalate to PayPal claim when possible.

Or

Go to the gethuman website and look up PayPal for contact numbers.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

It seems that there is no one alive at Paypal... I've tried to get a replay to my messages for 4 months... It smells like Paypal will fail as many other payment gateway... Be prudent
