PAYPAL STEALING MONEY DIRECT FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT

On 25th April ONE payment of £29.99 should have been payed from my bank account to Paypal but two payments were taken.

 

At first i thought the vendor had been payed twice so i opened a dispute on the transaction.  After speaking to the vendor it was clear they knew nothing about it and that the second payment had been pocketed by paypal so i closed the dispute against the customer and contacted Paypal customer services (with the required evidence) to sort out the problem.

 

Their response was "We do not deal with closed disputes."

 

This is a disgraceful attempt by Paypal Customer Services to fob me off after having stolen money directly from my bank account and i am now very angry about it.

 

Does anybody have any suggestions on how Paypal can be held accountable for this theft and how I can get my money back?

 

Many thanks

Contact a lawyer for class action first, only local media may care enough to follow up and that won't have the desired reach.

Paypal holds funds — all of this money from numerous customers is in one bank account and they draw interest off of it

We all know the story of the Grinch that stole Christmas. Well this story is the payment provider that steals little children’s Christmas presents just before Christmas.

I wonder how much this type of person gets for a Christmas bonus this year? Taking away the hopes and dreams of Christmas and leaving little children sobbing under the Christmas tree.

I am unfortunately a disabled cancer patient who cannot leave my home and unfortunately was foolish enough that I trusted PayPal this Christmas. I transferred funds in to PayPal to buy the children’s presents for Christmas mid-November. This money then magically vanishes in to thin air. I repeatedly call Paypal in hope they would have some sympathy however I get nothing but never-ending excuses and tall tales of we had a technical error, our technical team is looking in to the problem, we are aware of your case, we are looking in to your case. We will call you back later today. An endless line of people telling tales simply unwilling, unable or just simply do not care.

This whole situation has had a terrible effect on my health since it started. I do not know what to do worrying where can I find more money. I just cannot believe people like this actually exist.

I wish mine was that small Air b n b took $2259 by mistake for a booking I did not make They refunded it 44 min later My bank statement shows the $2259 coming out bc I didn’t have that much in PayPal and then bank statement shows $2259 go back in Good right? Fast forward 30 hours and PayPal takes $2259 back from my checking acct! Overdraws my acct and makes me bounce my car insurance!! Customer service tells me they fronted the money for me and that why they took it back and I have to wait maybe 10 days to get it back This is pure theft They fronted no money and we’re out no money Beyond absurd I’d say everyone here all 50 of us should tell everyone we know and then close our accounts for good There’s a lot tied to it but I will work around it They deserve nothing from us Not a penny Close your accounts and snd find a competitor who’s more honest or listen we survived before PayPal we can exist without them Their executives deserve to lose this business as they are allowing this to happen and therefore we should all be the catalysts to propel them into a nosedive they can’t recover from Shameful PayPal to steal money under the guise that you “fronted money for me” You must certainly did not! These banks allowing them to just take our money and overdraw Accts is also a scary and pathetic reality Good luck and tell 100 people about this and to never use them and close their Accts before this happens to them Ps they own Venmo too so don’t use them either There are competitors out there if you must but also other solutions to avoid them all

Paypal has done the same to me. They robbed me of 33.60. Sounds like a small amount, but it still makes me furious. They think it’s okay to take hard earned money when it’s not!
