Class action suit against paypal

[Lisha3]

Has anyone filed a class action suit against PayPal for keep their money? The customer service with PayPal is horrible, and PayPal owes me money.

Sadly legally that is no longer possible, you would have to take your own private legal action.

That article should be posted on this site in big letters. People encourage others to join a class action lawsuit and they jump in before investigating. 

I’d sue in Small Claims Court. PayPal might not send a representative across the country for a small amount of money. I can argue my case individually and not be lumped together with others. The filing fees are not substantial, usually around one hundred dollars, and you can request reimbursement for your fees. 

I have to file locally and I want my $30 back for an unauthorized purchase on my credit card. I wrote to the company CEO to avoid court and am waiting to hear from them.

Thanks Dell14z I didn't think about small claims court. I live about 45 minutes from Paypal so they may send someone to court but I'm sure I have a strong case because they keep saying I owe them money for Items I sent back to the seller and I sent them proof that the seller received all of their items back.

If you’re sure that you are right and they are wrong, it’s worth the filing fees to sue. Class action suits take time and you want your money back now.

Good luck!

LOOK for class act lawsuits regarding this.  Don't listen to those who say nothing will be done or you will only get a few dollars, if any.  I've joined class action lawsuits for credit card and mortgage companies that have done [removed] stuff and it has always paid off, though it may be a while.  I've received checks from $200 to $6500 every time one of the suits settled.  Many who suffered the same deception of fraud that I did got nothing because they believed they will get nothing.  But there is nothing wrong with standing up for yourself and not allowing yourself to get ripped off.  The only way you will ever get compensated is by not putting your tail between your legs and saying there is nothing you can do.  I've had a paypal business account for a while and and just began using it.  I transferred money from my personal paypal - which is a new account - to my business paypal.  They held $185 of the money until June 21, 2022.  NOT ACCEPTABLE!  The girl from paypal was very rude when I called to ask to have it released.  You can bet I will find every cotton picking paypal lawsuit out there and sign up.

If the charges were unauthorized that is fraud by banking standards.  call your Credit Card Company and report it as such.  They will dispute for you.

How did this turn out? I am about to file my claim. They want me to commit mail fraud before I get my refund.
