Re: Paypal Recharged an Unauthorized Transaction

I looked it up. Paypal actually does this a lot. It is an error with their ACH system that has existed for at least 4 years. According to a reddit post (this site will not allow me to post it) I will be hit with this charge one more time before they stop. I will probably be dealing with $2,300 charges from Paypal for another month before they stop. Nobody should be linking their bank account to Paypal. It is so dangerous and I had no idea. ...

Paypal Recharged an Unauthorized Transaction

Last week I was charged $2,300 by an unauthorized transaction. The charge went straight through to my bank account The dispute was resolved and I was eventually refunded. Now 5 days later Paypal made the same charge again directly to my bank account for no reason. There is no record of a new $2,300 charge on my Paypal account. Explain yourself Paypal! You just broke my trust again. I've had an account with you for 20 years. This is totally unacceptable and an absolute breach of trust. This is blatant fraud. ... View more

Yes, This new security policy is VERY annoying! I don't use ebay to make money on a regular basis, but If I sell something for petty cash like $200 I don't expect to get held up by a 21 day wait period. That totally defeats the point of not accepting returns, the buyer could decide he doesn't like sonmething, and then return it 21 days later. I'm using Craigslist from now on. 9% in fees between Ebay and Paypal is just too much anyway. Craigslist is free and you don't have to deal with delivery.   Edit: Actually, I now exactly why they changed the policy. They are a bank. If they take the hundereds of thosands of dollars transacted every day and invest it as long as they can they can double their money off the same old transactions. ... View more
