I applied and received a paypal mastercard prior to even selling on eBay.  A few months later I began selling on eBay and paypal told me that since I had a paypal mastercard, I don't get buyer credit, which was fine with me.  The card arrived and the first month there were transactions that were not mine. I contacted paypal and they sent me a second card.  This time paypal noticed there were transactions that were not in line with my history, they shut the card down and sent me my third card. Again, it was it again, and it was paypal who realized it even before I received the statement. They then sent me my 4th card.  It took one month and it was hit. I called GE Money, Ebay, Paypal and went over every transaction and honestly told them which were valid and which were not.  I received a letter saying that they found in my favor and the case was closed.  I requested them to please just close the account because these fraudsters have a way to figure out the new card if it is related to a impacted card. I mean, it is in both our interests to close the initial account and reopen a completely different one. At the same time eBay discovered key logger virus was on my PC. 2 months later paypal writes me a collection letter saying I owe them $6,000.00.  I have all required documents, police reports, FTC case number, ID Theft affidavits and a fraud affidavits.  Following their refusal to give me a new card, new account with no relation to the old one, all of a sudden I am getting accused of not paying my buyer credit account. I did not have buyer credit.  Paypal now puts unfair holds on my account and I am sick and tired of the way they are treating me like pond scum.  Is there anything I can do prior to pressing charges for making transactions almost impossible to do because they hold all my money? ...

I have my MBA in finance, and I have never ever dealt with a credit company like Paypal.  In the past 3 days I was billed on my pp debit card for a transaction which did not go through, Not only that, they debited this twice. The amoung was $150.69 X 2, which is over $300.00 which never went through, I didn't benefit and I was on hold today for a hour and a half, and the idiots who work for PP could not resolve this.   They she OR a transaction that never went through.  This resulted in multiple fees for overdrawing my bank account.  How about that. In addition,, I received two credits that had nothing to do with the above, and only 1 was reflected. Thsoe 1 they so kindly gave me was for $91.00.  The other, for $189.52 did not appear, is MIA, and after speaking to paypal, they have no clue what to do. I do I willl file a suit in state and federal court.  Any opinions??????   PS, can anyone tell me why PP has to debit, debit, then credit a trans. It makes no sense and I am sure many people don't understand, leaving them unable to understand, trusting ppal, and that is how Paypal rips and steals from many. ... View more
