Kernolass you are obviously a nicer person than myself and certainly have more free time than I. Whilst I accept you motivation is not to help PayPal that is, in effect what you are doing. Imagine if you hadn’t helped all those PayPal customers.? Sooner or later the company would be forced to improve the service to it’s customers. One definition of a dereliction of duty...’the shameful failure to fulfil one’s obligations’. I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this. Have you ever considered working for a charity ?  Using that time and your kindness for a good cause. Not to support a Multinational corporation to enhance it’s bottom line. That said I will bow out. But before I go I would just like to apologise if I allowed the stressful experience of dealing with the wretched customer service of PayPal cloud my judgement and I in any way offended you. Good luck. ... View more

Thank you once again kernoless for taking the time to reply. Since discovering possible irregularities on my account I have had a very stressful time. I have had to also contact eBay, Amazon and Barclays Bank. Fortunately all these companies, whilst still operating a reduced service due to CV were very helpful. eBay for example had someone call me from Utah with an hour of my raising a query, Barclays had a slightly longer than normal waiting time but still acceptable and Amazon death with me via an online messaging system.  Compare that to this shambles of a company. A messaging system that doesn’t actually message back. You are unable to raise a second message or query either without closing the first, which is deemed to be an acknowledgement that the first query was answered to your satisfaction ?!. A resolution system that requires you specify a transaction which is not always relevant, as in my case. I assume this is deliberately restrictive. I tried raising a complaint but after completing my form I was advised that the system was not working and a telephone number which will allow you to make various selections but will ultimately leave you cut off.   Finally the ‘community’. The point is customers should not have to resort to this if PayPal had a proper customer service. One that was fit for purpose. I can see you are a prolific poster, posting more than the other contributors put together. I am sure you have helped others just as much as you have helped me. But I would prefer it if PayPal who make in case you are not aware make huge profits, invested a tiny proportion of that on providing a customer service rather than relying on other people to do their work for them. A shiny red badge or whatever silly thing they award you for your time can hardly make that worthwhile. Please feel free not to reply. ... View more

The reference to age was simply to highlight the inadequacy of the PayPal system. Or lack there of. They rely on the ‘community’ to resolve issues rather than having a proper effective and robust system in place. Probably for financial reasons. And I do accept that Covid hasn’t helped but still, this falls below the level of customer service I’ve experience from any other company in quite some time. Thank you again for trying. ...

Thanks. So basically you can’t phone but you could try using a different social media site like twitter to contact them but they won’t reply to a direct email or message sent via their own system ? It might be me but that seems nuts. I’m 53 years old and just want a simple system for customer service. That doesn’t involve opening a twitter account or Facebook. I do appreciate the reply though. What if this was a serious security issue, perhaps someone has used your account etc.  ... View more

Does anyone know if there is actually a customer service at PayPal? Tried the message system over 24 hours and no response?   The resolution system appears to require your concern to be about a specific transaction which is obviously not necessarily the case, as here. And the complaint system would have you complete an online form but when you submit or try to it says that it is not available.  very frustrating. Any ideas welcome. ... View more
