Thank God i never got that working!!

I just opened a new account with 5.00 in there
so they will no longer have access to my main checking where
all the zero's are
you guy's had me worry

I`m not sure what to think about this. I have had MANY Pay Pal transactions (30+ per week) and have never had any problems whatsoever.

Does anyone else have any first hand information?

I've used paypal many times with no problems. The link posted looks like a bunch of sour grapes crap to me. That website is confusing and unorganized, possibly on purpose. Sorry but IMHO paypal is solid, and that web page is full of **it.

never know.......had about 15k locked up for god knows how long, a good part of a year before it all came back...........and this was from a big credit card proccessing company ......OUCH!

I have used it myself a few times without incident, but the Scam Alert on there looks real. It's hackers outside Paypal that are causing the problems.

I looked at it and don't have time to read all of that $hit. I hav used Paypal many times to buy and sell with no problem.

Never had a prob here , either. Personally, I like PayPal. Wardey

Just sold a Z3 BMW on Ebay for $12500-00, no problem ....Buyer uses Paypal, everything seems cool. I check my account and Paypal states the $12500 is in account. I meet buyer at the airport & sign over the Title , get back to my office 4 hours later to recieve an e-mail from Paypal stating the funds have neen withdrawn, buyers credit card co. did a turn around and cancelled the credit of $12500-00...Payapl just electronically yanks the money out of my account. Now I'm in the middle of an investigation, no car & $12500 poorer. Don't trust Paypal, extremely difficult to deal with. They charge a huge commisssion for sub-standard service. The buyer is working on getting finance, my car is in New England & I am in Florida
What did I learn, release the goods when you have the cash in hand.
