    P.S. Company CEOs running a busy business don't typically have time to spare trolling around a Paypal forum, making derogatory remarks, realizing the legal implications involved if such remarks adversely affect others who are seeking monetary compensation. ... View more

    Typical of trolls using the security and anonymity offered by the internet as a haven for their cowardice, endlessly and perpetually talking nonsense.     STOP TALKING.   Just give me your IRS number and location, and we'll see, shall we ?   Oh, your company's IRS number too, since CEOs are supposed to be "immune" from tax liabilty in your country.   But trolls will perpetually remain cowards and just keep on talking, since they are sure that nobody knows who and where they are.   Enough time wasted on cowards who "is the CEO of a company".   Oh, and is this CEO willing to give his name and location too, since I can pass it to my lawyer too ?   Obviously not. ...

  "Every IRS employee you have spoken to ...."   If you have spoken to them, that is.   Where I am, we work differently.  (If you are skeptical of my profession, that is.   Anyway, since you are so confident of your immunity, why not let have have your IRS number so I can follow up on it and see what happens to you ?   But as with most hiding behind the security and anonymity of the internet, I'm sure you're very wisely keep remaining anonymous, confidently just talking nonsense and making derogatory remarks about others, not ever daring to surface. ...

    Did anyone ask for your comment to my complaint ?   Or are you coming in, with the intention of paying me back ?   If so, I suggest you keep out.   Unless you want me to BLAME YOU if your comment DIRECTLY influences them not to compensate me and INCLUDE YOU in my list should I commence legal proceedings.   Incidentally, you want to give me your IRS number and your location, so I can ask my IRS contacts there to check up on you as well ?     ...

  You are talking nonsense.   What "Family and Friends" ?   What "avoiding fees" and "gifts" nonsense are you talking about ?   You know very well that Paypal allows anyone to pay ANYONE direct to their email as a convenient medium of payment for their merchandise or services. Isn't that what you set this service up for ?   I've already CLEARLY stated the details of what happened.   I am not wasting my time with you. You are nothing but just a small-time clerk here.   Do you realize I work for the IRS over here ?   Are you challenging me to get in touch with my contacts in the IRS over there (which is one of the steps I intend to take as mentioned above) and suggest that they do a tax audit and investigation of Paypal, your CEO and entire top management for the past 12 years ?   What do you think will happen to your job if your CEO finds out you were the cause of all this, just because you antagonized a customer, telling him to get lost - we won't refund your measly $10 ?     ...

Same here.   It's a scam.   They trying to make it hard for me even to ask for a refund of $10 which the seller ran off.   Gave me all kinds of excuses. ... View more

Paypal is a scam.   I can't even get a refund of a miserable $10, what makes you think  they are going to give you back CA $ 520 ?   Met this seller in a chatroom, paid her $10 to her email, then she disappeared.   There's nothing in their website here to contact. They've conveniently not given you any email contacts.   Tried contacting them thru Twitter, but my friend warned me that I was wasting my time trying to get a refund from Paypal.   Gave them the transaction ID, someone replied promising to help, asked me to PM them my Paypal email.   I smelt a rat - why do they need my email for, when the transaction ID was all they needed to check out ?   So I gave my email via PM anyway.   This nonsense came back - obviously a standard pre-printed reply which they send to everyone :       When you sent the funds, did you do so using the “Friends & Family” option, or the “Goods & Services” option? If you used “Goods & Services”, you can open a dispute regarding that transaction, which can then be escalated to a claim if they refuse to refund you. When a dispute is escalated to a claim, PayPal will take a look at the case and any pertinent evidence provided by either side, and then decide the case in either your or the other party’s favor. If you used “Friends & Family”, on the other hand, PayPal regrettably cannot provide you with any assistance, as “Friends & Family” transactions are not covered by PayPal. “Friends & Family” payments are intended to be used with individuals whom you fully trust, and essentially exist to allow instant and fee-free transactions in cases where the possibility of fraud is practically nonexistent and buyer protection only creates an unnecessary hindrance. Note that you may still be able to get your money back even if you sent it as “Friends & Family”, if you paid using a credit card – in that case, contact the card company and ask them to issue a chargeback on the transaction.     My friend was right. I wasted my time.   I am filing complaints direct to :   The FBI's I3C internet fraud division.   The FTC's Consumer Protection Division.   The IRS's Tax Audit Division. ... View more
