PayPal Community

Thanks for the reply.  I doubt that  PayPal can do anything to earn back my business after the gong show I, you &  MANY others have experienced with fraudulent stores.  I've already filed a Better Business Bureau complaint in the US city PayPal is headquartered.  I'm also going to lodge a complaint with the Canadian Financial Ombudsman to start an investigation into PayPal.   It DOES seem strange that while PayPal yaps about fraud "protection" for customers using their service, when the rubber hits the tarmac, they are suspiciously "unable" to let someone file a complaint or get help.   ...

PayPal is an absolute NIGHTMARE to try & get some sort of resolution for an item I bought September 2020. I tried the messaging & no one bothered to reply within an hour.  I tried telephoning them & just kept going in circles.  I tried starting a dispute & since the transaction was 6 months ago, they couldn't find it.  I tried using the online calendar on PayPal's website to look at transactions from 2020 & that just sent me in another endless circle.   PayPal says they have fraud protection in place & yet this store doesn't seem to exist or they just can't be bothered to monitor!  PayPal even send me an email about how the amount I paid was converted from USD to CND within hours of making the transaction!!  Shouldn't they have clued in the the fact that the site was fraudulent when they did THAT??  The Specialty Shop even ripped me off for $50 shipping!!     I'l never, EVER use PayPal again & I'm going to make sure that everyone reading my FaceBook page knows not to use PayPal.  Not only was I, & MANY others scammed by a scammer, but PayPal is now trying to scam the customer as well with their useless website! ...
