Why would I continue to use paypal

[tmohrsy]

I used paypal last weekend. On websites that already have money back guarantees. I made some purchases and three of them were refunded. I’ve never had so many cancellations. Is it because I’m paying with paypal? Any way, one purchase took 6 business days to clear the payment through paypal. It normally takes 1 business day when I pay with my debit. One refund has taken 6 business days and still I have not received it. Oh but paypal says ‘completed’ so their job is done. What is this? Why is my bank taking 6 days to clear a refund? Never in my 10+ years ar this bank has it taken 8 days to process a refund. Why would anyone ever use this service? Wow.

Best change banks then if they are taking a long while to process your refund.

I’m having this same issue, refund is taking two weeks to show up in my account. I called my bank they said its on hold by paypal. Might I add what a terrible and unprofessional response from a paypal admin. Hey kernowlass how many class action lawsuits have been filled against paypal in the last 7 years? I’m currently in contact with BBB and my lawyers. tmohrsy i suggest you do the same.

No idea how many class actions have been taken and personally couldn't care less.

The original poster said his refund had 'completed' which means paypal have already sent it to his bank so its up to his bank how long they take to process the payment not paypal as paypal have already transferred the payment.

If it was on hold or pending then that would be a different matter and different reasons for it but I will leave you to figure that one out.

Lastly if I am a paypal 'admin' then you must be as well because you are a 'contributor'. 

Not sure why I should be professional when not at work though???
