Why you shouldn't use PayPal for intangible goods

by SlickViskRick Contributor in Security and Fraud Archives

‎Aug-28-2022 09:04 AM
I have redacted all 'personal' information from the screenshots   btw if anyone from paypal can help me with any of these issues please do 1. I got a $750 dispute and paypal took twice the amount from me. I wonder where the second $750 went.    2. Paypal has given me 6 permanent limitations and I had to email them to get it removed. It seems like their system keeps flagging my acc after they remove it. i don't know. regardless, imagine how many people are getting wrongfully limited and getting their money taken away from them because paypal's system is flawed.  3. Seller Protection does not really cover intangible goods. There is no way for PayPal to tell you actually fulfilled an order when the product is an intangible good. You could very very easily fake proof which is why I think PayPal doesn't give you seller protection most of the time when you sell intangible goods. I sell intangible goods and I respond to all my disputes with the same evidence yet some of them are covered under paypal's seller protection and some are not. doesn't make sense to me. I also had a paypal support agent tell me intangible goods aren't covered under paypal sellers protection when they are   4.  Limitations. When you make an account with other payment processors like stripe they ask you questions about your business before they let you start using stripe. PayPal lets you start doing business with them before providing any of that info then they randomly limit your account after you've accumulated a balance. So, now your money is stuck in a PayPal account for 3 days to 6 months. At any time while using PayPal they can permanently limit your account for "high risk" then your PayPal balance will be stuck for at least 6 months. They may also take your balance for "damages to paypal" if some paypal agent decides to do that..    5. Lazy and unhelpful customer support. - If you call PayPal and you have a problem with your paypal account (limitations) or you need help with a dispute, or if you have an uncommon paypal error when logging in they cannot help you. They will instead tell you whatever you want to here to get you off the phone as soon as possible. I had a paypal support agent tell me that he'll look into the error I was getting while logging in and call me back. He never called me back ... View more

Hi @SlickViskRick,   Thank you for returning to the community and welcome back!   I'm sorry to hear that the chargeback was not found in your favor. Were you able to provide proof of delivery to the address in the transaction details? Were all other requirements of Seller Protection met? If there were any extenuating circumstances that caused the Seller Protection to be voided, that may be the situation that caused the coverage to not be applied. If not, I recommend reaching out to Customer Service again. In addition to the methods listed on the Contact Us page, you could opt instead to send a PM by Facebook or a DM by Twitter.   I hope this is able to be resolved for you!   Olivia   ... View more

Yes, I read that already. The "Item not received" chargebacks were covered under seller protection, but the 'Unauthorized Transaction" chargebacks were not even though it said they were in the emails I received when the chargebacks were filed.  ... View more

@SlickViskRick      That depends on many factors all listed in Paypals seller protection policy for you to read so you can risk assess your transactions. Legal (bottom right of Paypals pages) > user agreement > seller protection. ... View more

@SlickViskRick    If its still at the 'dispute' stage and he does not escalate within the 20 days given him then yes the dispute will auto-close. However if he escalates to a claim then the onus would be on you to provide a tracking number that proved delivery of the item to the buyer. ... View more
