I had an account with Pay Pal.. A few months ago I purchased some items from Deals Extreme. Pay pal had NO Problem with my credit card. Recently, I canceled my account with Pay Pal because they would NOT allow me to Use another credit card. Because I use "Shop Safe" with Bank of America each purchase on the net has a different credit card number with a set limit. It works like this. Example. If you order something on line costing 100 dollars you credit limit for the "shop Safe" number can be set for a limit at or near your purchase. In my case I would set my limit at about 101 dollars. That way the seller can't ship you two items and bill you 200 dollars saying that is what you ordered. I know it's happened before..It seems that Deals Extreme uses ONLY Pay Pal for check out. Now that I have closed my Pay Pal account I can't purchase from Deals Extreme. I am told that E-Bay is now using Pay Pal exclusively. In that case I will not be able to purchase off e-bay. My credit is GREAT I have NEVER declaired bank rupsy, my home and car are paid for, I am not behind on any bills, no late fees. Pay Pal has TO much control over our lives..Simply put I HATE doing business with them and think vendors should go back to letting us use our OWN banks and credit companies. Pap Pal even asked for my bank routing numbers and other personal info they DO NOT NEED.. My Credit Card is GOOD and that is easy to verify. Now Pay Pal will NOT accept a credit card from me and I have NEVER defaulted. Is their way of punishing me for Closing my Pay Pal account? You decide..

I rec'd $190.95 charge from a Nancy L.Cornell from pay pal. I don not know this women and never authorized this charge. I notified my bank not to pay this. Also with all the complaints against this women something should be done. I refuse to pay this I will not be SCAMED.

I am in the process of cleaning up $12, 500 worth of airline tickets charged to my Pay Pal accounts. This included debit, credit card and the bank checking account tied to PayPal. Not the first time I've had to deal with fraud through Pay Pal.

My computer has good, current virus and spyware on it. The 'geek squad' at Best Buy found no planted keylogging program/virus and they just guffawed at the lack of 'security' on the PP site. Their comment was it is "not safe, no matter what they say".

Last year someone hacked into Pay Pal and listed hundreds of individuals' names, socials and credit card# w/security codes onto a discussion board thread on Ebay. Every few lines he stuck in "wheeeee!!!" I saw this myself yet Ebay/PayPal (one and the same) covered it up and denied there was anything to it.

I would recommend NOT using Pay Pal. Let Ebay know what the concerns are as they are starting a new "policy" around the end October 2008 not allowing sellers to list any payment option other than Pay Pal. This is not out of concern for buyer/seller safety, it is only another way for them to get more money in their already deep pockets.

I HAVE BEEN TURNED DOWN TWICE NOW FROM MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH GE BANK...WHICH IS TOTALLY BOGUS..I LOOKED UP MY CREDIT REPORTS AT MY EXPENSE AND I HAVE EXCELLENT CREDIT...I APPLIED FOR A PAYPAL PLUS CARD AND A EBAY MASTERCARD AND WAS DENIED BOTH TIMES....THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF EQUIFAX...BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING ON ANY OF MY CREDIT REPORTS TO WARRANT THIS....IVE SPENT ALL DAY AND MY OWN MONEY AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME ANYTHING .......OF COURSE IAM VERY ANGRY ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION....I DONT KNOW WHO THE CULPRIT IS PAYPAL....GE BANK OR EQUIFAX BUT I INTEND TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS....AND I DONT WANT MY CREDIT EFFECTED BECAUSE SOMEONE OBVIOUSLY MADE A HUGE MISTAKE................

I applied and was denied a merchant account last year with paypal. yet they have all my bank info and personal info. and are charing my bank account as if I have an account with them and I do not.. during the application process they told me to deposit ten dollars. towards thier account for a test and that they would send it back .. after many phone calls hours of explaining and frustration with various departments and supervisors paypal put lke 6 2 or 3 dollars back towards my account and charged for the service...then sent me a check for one cent..now i get a email saying that they are going to cancel the one cent check and want to charge for that probably as a way to access my account because they know that they are in the wrong for thier past actions.. I should not have to change my buisness account because they are not set up to withdraw information from thier databases.. they are a fraud..shortly after this fiasco I opened a merchant account to process my own credit cards..this company is not trustworthy and does not have resolutions in places for thier problems to give even one cent back that they steal and I mean STEAl ..theft by fraud...
