I have been with paypal for about 6 years and recently I had major back surgery and stopped using paypal because of the severity of my surgery and the recovery time involved. When I deceided to start buying and selling on ebay and using paypal to withdrawn money from my checking account to pay for what I had bought I had forgotten my email address that connected my paypal to my checking acct. Well I contacted paypal and asked for help with what my email address was and that was where all the paypal headaches started. They told me that since it had been inactive, I think that they had suspended me of closed my acct. Well I had 7-8 I think 3 way conversations with them and my banker. Well number 1, I had won a item and went to pay with the world famous paypal and the computer system they have along with their rules thats a real joke, I could be nastier but its not worth it, I had to drive 9 miles to my bank one way, well when I got back home from making copies of my bank statement and proof of idenity and faxed all copies to paypal, they still would not allow me to become paypal verified and has asked me on many ocasions to change checking accts and that would "CURE THE PROBLEM". Well here it is April 19th, 2010 and I am still not paypal verified and still have same checking account because I am not going to change checking accts just for paypal when I have had the same checking acct for more than 15 years. PAYPAL IS A JOKE AND THEIR RULES ARE A JOKE AS WELL. I understand and truly appreaciate account security and protection, but to prove my idenity, checking acct statement to whatever supervisor that told me that was what I had to do to correct the problem that they could not overide the system. **bleep** I did what I was asked to do and they are still giving me the complete run around. I am done with paypal, their bull**bleep** rules and regulations when they are not even a part of FDIC and they give the crap that they use their rules though. So when my bank that is under FDIC acted for me with everything they asked for proof of me and my current photo drivers license. Am I right for being very angry toward paypal and Ebay who owns paypal and the triple drip fees????? Let me know how you feel please. Thanks!!!
