Never again will I order anything using paypal! I placed an order online using paypal for over $300. I immediately cancelled my order when I found the item locally which was shortly after I placed the order. The money was refunded to paypal within minutes and has been on hold ever since. Even though it states on their website that a refund will be given and they will stop withrawal from account as long as the money hasn't already cleared the bank. Well, the following morning I wake up to see the money was still taken out of my account even though I cancelled the order the morning before. Now paypal says I have to wait until they release the hold on the funds the store refunded and at that point I can transfer the money back in my account. Were talking 5-7 business days!! So now I have bills coming out that I paid one of which was my electric bill. All will be returned. I will have overdraft fees, return check fees, and more than likely they will shut my electricity off because the money will not be in the account tomorrow when it clears. All of this I told to the paypal representative and she gave me the generic answer of , sorry I can't do anything to help you. I asked, are you going to pay my overdraft and return check fees? How about the money I will have to pay to get my electricity turned back on? Basically I am going to be paying out the a** for ever purchasing anything thru paypal. Doesn't seem to bother them that I have 3 kids and will be without electricity until they decide it's convenient to put the money back in my account. If they had stated this when I made the purchase as a warning, that would be my fault. They don't say it anywhere when you make a purchase. I've purchased hundreds of things online and never have had a problem cancelling an order. I guess thats because I never use paypal before!
