Same problem here.  It's been doing it for a few weeks now.  I can't use PayPal to complete an eBay purchase from my desktop computer - Windows 10 and Chrome.  It works fine on my phone, but eBay has messed up the shopping cart on the phone app so some functionality isn't available there. ...

Ok, thanks for confirming that this contact info is released to other actors (both good and bad). Considering that a person's email address can be easily abused / DESTROYED via SPAM lists, this policy definitely needs to be changed to using some kind of PayPal Payment  ID -- instead of someone's contact info.  Can't believe this has gone on for so long, and this explains where so much of my SPAM has been coming from.  This is a pretty careless and destructive policy. The bad actors (mentioned above) in this case are fraudulent ebay sellers that resent doing refunds, and so sell email addresses to SPAM lists -- as confirmed PayPal email addresses. ... View more

ACTUALLY options go like this: Send money > fill in email > fill in amount > continue... In PP's absolute disregard for the user's experience, PP forces you to fill in amount and click continue BEFORE giving you the option of goods and services. ... View more

@WhereRInvoices    It would scare users off to add spooky warnings that the payment they’re about to make can be scammed. lol   As for “You don't even get any warnings or options BEFORE you type in an email address and a dollar amount.  And no way to search for complaints on an email or associated emails on that registered account.”   That info is kept confidential for privacy/avoid defamation reasons.    If the merchant didn’t ship, file an item not received dispute. If you received something not as advertised, missing items, damaged items, stuff that’s the seller’s fault, you file a Significantly not as described dispute.   You can even opt to open a chargeback through your card issuer or bank and skip PayPal dispute altogether.   Lastly, report the user for violating the AUP, here. ...

It is the way PP WILLFULLY assists scammers in committing fraud.  Just like PP refuses to offer a simple 1 or 2 sentence warning when completely appropriate and helpful.  The very least PP could do is provide info on a registered email address if they get scam complaints.  You don't even get any warnings or options BEFORE you type in an email address and a dollar amount.  So very irresponsible on PP's part. ...

Trying to make payment on some ebay items and on another site.  Log into PP to make payment, get notice from bank that payment was made, then get an error on ebay or other site that purchase not complete. Transactions do not show up on PP history. Are these transactions that my bank reported auto corrected ' credited ' canceled?  ... View more

Email addy that has been used ONLY for ebay / paypal is now being FLOODED With Loan Application Confirmations that are using my full name. This is 2 days after a 2 star review and an Item Not As Described email. The company I made the bad purchase from is actually a network of at least 3 sellers on eBay selling the same items. Do Seller’s have enough info on me to take out fraudulent loans in my name?   ... View more
