It's obvious that there is some type of scam going on here. I did not request an Echeck. I have gone through the same process purchasing items hundreds of times and every time the money came out of my checking account. I understand that I was sent an email stating the transaction was an Echeck. By that time it was too late and PayPal started to shuffle my money around. I made the original purchase on August 29'th and now I am being told I will not receive my cancelled transaction money until September 10th. I have been a PayPal member for over ten years and this is how they treat loyal customers. As soon as my money finally gets back to my account I will be closing my PayPal account and will be asking any of my customers to do the same. There is no reason to hold my money for days on end and use the clearing house excuses in order to rack up even more interest. This tactic has been discussed on multiple forums and PayPal suport has not given any real explanation to why they do this other than place the blame on other institutions. It's too bad that Ebay and PayPal has continued to go downhill with no regards for their customers. I'm hoping that this thread may deter this from happening to someone else but I doubt it. Good luck to all of the saps out there that continue to feed PayPal money.... ... View more

Last week I went to make a purchase online like I usually do every week. PayPal decided to pay the store using an Echeck. Usually anytime I make a purchase it comes right out of my checking account through PayPal. I called the store later that afternoon and found out the reason they did not ship my item that day was because of the Echeck which takes a few days. I cancelled the purchase immediately. PayPal took the money out of my checking account even though I cancelled the purchase. I still do not have the money in my PayPal account and now they are telling me once I receive the funds in my PayPal account I will have to initiate another transaction to send it back to my bank. Are you kidding me???? This cannot be correct??? It is going to take me at least a week to get my money back that I never wanted to go anywhere. I cancelled the transaction. I never would use an Echeck in my life. Is this the norm with PayPal? I called support and tried to create a complaint but the support person put me on hold for two hours and then hung up on me. How convenient. I have never felt so taken by a online organization before. ... View more
