By the way, you are a terrific writer.  I just re-read your response. I still don't see how that's a solution. You spoke of ways to determine which vendors, businesses could be vetted and chosen to avoid being preyed on. Very good advice. And you said that Conflict Resolution is in place for that. But I went to conflict resolution and simply nothing back. If it's impossible to come up with a way to resolve these issues, that's the way it goes. But I know several people who were shut down being accused of what I'm accusing others. Yet they were innocent, so as far as I 'm concerned there is a problem here that needs to be looked into further. Because honestly it's a playground for people to take advantage of **bleep** like me.  I don't know. PayPal should take some kind of initiative and back the good guys. ... View more

I wouldn't say solved. I went through the dispute process, it wasn't really a process, I complained, they said tough luck. I was robbed, not by merchants, but individuals... I know I know, that hardly constitutes much action but I'm not looking for my money back.. Sure it would be nice, but if I can prove there was a transaction and the seller did not do as agreed upon. Something, or anything, should be done. For instance, close their account. But to hear back that I can just bite it, is not acceptable. ... View more

Well ShaqOatmeal, can I give you a hug?  Ever since she left me I've only received cliche' advice... here you are. I just cried a little. Thank you and so much good karma to you and your giant bowl and spoon and milk, blueberrries strawberries, you deserve the best. I Hope you get mama bear, cause you're just right. Chin up, off to Payment Type Tinder. What a swell person.  ... View more

That's where you're wrong cowboy. Since you're esteemed, check this out; you wrote: Use an anonymizing proxy; use any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to monitor or copy our websites without our prior written permission; or use any device, software or routine to bypass our robot exclusion headers; I certainly did not do any of those things. Like I said, I was adding my business to Paypal in my personal account, as they asked. I had my VPN on all day. Big deal.  Are you telling me that what I did was justified by FOREVER BANNING ME? I've been with PayPal for 20 years man. C'mon, tell me that was a cool move by PayPal. ... View more

Welp Paypal, I guess this is it? I mean nothing to you anymore. i didn't have the courage to leave you when I should have. But I got comfortable you know? Remember the days before Ebay? Yeah, thats when we met, 2 decades of ups and downs. Even though I've invested in you... thousands of dollars in fees... and when people cursed your name, I was there, defending you. Now all my customers and my family have accepted you, they speak your name every week or more when we come to you instead of the bank. But PayPal, I bring my friend VPN over, not knowing that you're incompatible and you kick me to the curb, And not just upset, you said, "forever". Never again a buy or a sell BANNED for good. That seems pretty harsh to me and I think anyone would agree. But when you said you were protecting the community from me! Your lover and provider that's when I knew you'd gone bad. You could have said, oh no, no no, your friend VPN is not allowed in my home. That would have been sufficient.  but after two decades, were done? oh my how you've changed. Jaded and paranoid. What's the real problem PayPal?  After all, every time I logged in it was never, Hi Honey how was your day? It was always the same thing... OPEN A GO DANG BUSINESS ACCOUNT ya loser. And that's exactly what I was doing. Not that it was of any benefit to me, only because you asked me to. Because we have history baby. And I'm a little sad. 20 years is only slightly longer than my last marriage. It's significant. I worry about you. But I have a confession to make. And now may not be the right time but... since you're the biggest heartless **bleep** I know, I gotta tell you. I've been seeing other people. So there. You got cocky and have shown you only care about yourself. I have needs you know? Remember Venmoronica and Cashappmere from down the street? They treat me good okay? It's simple, feels right, they take care of my needs. So back to the question... really we've wasted enough time. WTF is wrong with you? I bring over VPN? They never hurt anyone? And 20 years gone, just like that? WTF are you thinking? You know I have to let everyone know how you kicked me around and abused me?  Neglected me. Left me when I needed you the most. Good bye ol' lady all fat and conceited, I'm not looking back. And you don't even know you made another big mistake. Every 4 minutes, another friend lost, you should read your reviews. Not looking good. Maybe try therapy. Good bye. ... View more

Anyone know if there are actually reviews? Because several times I got robbed. And when reported was told that the investigation was complete that they found that the seller hadn't violated the terms of service. And if that's the case, shouldn't "ripping people off" be added to the TOS? Instead sends 1) a message to these **bleep** that its okay to rob folks. 2) tells us victims that they don't give a damn. 3) Isn't that aiding and abetting? Federal law? Making Paypal an accomplice and as guilty as the criminal? Anyone else wonder if this is a huge scam and no one is here and this experiment is a test of AI technology? They want to see if a business can run entirely without soul and humans? I'm seeing a complaint less than every 4 minutes. Thats bad right? ... View more
