I receieved money for selling my product. I sent the product. Then i started the transfer of funds to my bank account. Two days later they automatically cancelled my transfer and charged me fees. My bank information was perfect but ebay couldnt provide me a satisfactory answer. All they had was stupid answers and answers i never asked for. When I highlighted my query and sent it they never replied and after 3rd reminder all they did was provide me an international no. and asked me to call there. The the buyer after getting his hands on the product started a claim. Even though the claim didnt fall under any category for which a claim could me made (it was a digital document). I decided to escalate it to paypal and let them decide as i thought I had nothing to lose as I had the proof of delivery and moreover the product didnt meet terms and conditions of PayPal policy. After ten days without even asking me anything and contacting me the awarded the claim. Now the account lies suspended. And i have no intention of using it again. I am really pissed off by their carelessness and asshole attitude Well it was my first transaction on paypal. I receieved money for selling my product. I sent the product.

The site used paypal. I just wanted to pay with a credit card. It said I could. I filled in all the details and after all that paypal said that the amount was too much and I need to open a verified paypal account to proceed with the transaction. I'm honestly very sorry to have to contradict you: your statement that they don't force you to open an account is just plain wrong! As an aside I would also like to note that if you make a mistake / omission on the page with the credit card number they redisplay the page, complete with the number. This is sooooo wrong in cryptographic terms that I can only assume they have no security reviews at all. https is just the start of secure trading, not the end of it!

Why? (observe I am a BUYER only) you write and call after a lot of effort, time lost and money, they do not have any solution for the created problem (Don't care) As eBay keeps them alive by their backing and humungus sales volume and you would be surprised at how many SELLERs adore PayFart. This is understandable from the sellers point of view, but what about the rest of us who only get the most absurd, horrible, unbelievable lousy treatment (They can afford it). Don't worry many sellers hate them too. We are nothing more than SHIt. How come now one can resolve the the same problem they created. The ard dumb toids, but they are the worst. Name withheld because the word that applies to them has not be to be invented to be placed in a World Dictionary. I am so very thankful I never had to be an employee os such an organization. Bosses only, I must clarify. If they do not put you on hold for ever and ever, the service is OK, I must admit. These are the guys who claim they do all these stupid things is to help and protect you. B.S. Americ is going very weak for accepting such monky business to be going on in the good old USA. I was OK when BidPay was alive, but now these buggers are all alone with the monopoly. Should be against the law, but we would then have lobbiest in DC for PayFarts.

Plus, they just bought Skype and have invested tons of money in Craigs list. Yet, people are hesitant to buy via credit card on eBay and want some sort of PayPal alternative. But, PayPal's rates rake you over the coals. A friend of mine told me about a new product that I know is going to blow PayPal out of the water. I signed up for it immediately.
