since march i have tried on 5 occasions with 2 companies to buy some survey equipment .initially i put in £8500 which was paid over in $ to someone in indonesia, but it became obvious something was not right .i started a dispute and got my money back .or so i thought .i then tried another account with the same company and it went wrong again .i thus disputed it and got my money back again -or so i thought. i then tried the 2nd company but this time i had to put in another £549 or thereabouts to send off $14750 which was less than the original costs .this went backward and forward 2 further times when i decided i'd had enough and cahsed in my money .paypal say that $14750 and it looked that way initially until the balance came up .this showed $14480 or thereabouts which means that for that one transaction over $200 had disappeared .then when i cashed it in my £9050 had suddenly become £7580.58 . yet when i speak to paypal they say that they pay all the money to the original account to the original amount .but there is no way i can suddenly make over £1469 reappear .PAYPAL are nothing short of crooks and thieves and are no better than the people they are supposed to protect us from .i used paypal because a previous transaction by bank transfer a number of years ago through ebay lost me over £10000 ,so i presumed that paypal was safe and thet they were honest . they are not honest and/ or they are looking at different figures to me ,to say that i have not lost money . i am going to see what response i get from this before i consider legal action. DO NOT SEND MONEY ABROAD WITH PAYPAL BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE OUT
