First of all a big hello to this wonderful community, fighters for the
freedom and some justice in this vast cynical world: a big hug with love to
all.
Second, I am a little bit in rage mode, and third, English is not my mother
tong, so I might commit some errors expressing myself an this two last
factors may have some influence in it.
So let me say for me paypal=garbage. I am tired of the dishonest behaviour of
them, so I exclude them totally of my white list so for me paypal is totally
equal to sh*t. But enough talking, lets support my saying with some facts.
First, in the past when I had an account, when I had a problem with some item
that I bought on ebay the reffund was going directly to my account. Some time
after the refund would go to the paypal account, and no matter what I did, I
can't redeem it to my bank account. But ok I give them a pass on that... Them
some time after they ask to Withdraw money from my account in order to
certify my card, and said that they will give the money back if I give them
back some 4 digit code that appears on the transaction. I agree, and guess
what: they send me not a 4-digit code but a 3 digit (see atachment!). That
was the drop of water for me, they stole me 1.50€, and OK I closed my
account immediately. They never ask me why I was leaving or why I take that
decision, nothing! And I was with paypal doing purchases on ebay mostly by
almost 3 years. Great!
Then I started purchasing on ebay by using my debit card directly, no problem
so far until 3 days ago. I bought an hdd by the price 19.34 and in my bank
account was withdrawn 20.14. I call the bank and they said that PAYPAL has
withdrawn the 20.14€. Paypal again? I become to realyze that paypal always
has a part on the process of doing purchases on ebay, always, even if it is
with your direct debit card! So I send this message to ebay (I totally refuse
to talk with paypal!):
"I have this problem:
I bought an item recently in the value of 19.34€, but in my bank account I
was withdraw 20.14€.
I had call to the bank and the bank said that paypal has discounted that
value in my account and that I could make a police case if I want to.
1 I had bad experiences with paypal after, and I recently close my paypal
account for that matters, and starting paying the items I purchase with
my debit card directly. Now I come to realize that paypal still have a part
on the process of me buying on ebay! I am not pleased with that!
It's not by the value per se but buy the attitude: I'd like to have my
questions above clarified and I would like to have the money difference
(0.80€) in my account, please.
More: I will not talk to paypal, they want they call me.
Thank you very much, I will looking forward for an answer."
And I am waiting for an answer from their part. If they give me an
unsatisfactory response I will end up right away with ebay! I simply can not
deal with a person that is primary partner is a total dishonest guy, I
exclude both!
I am furious with them, and obviously it is not by the values 'per se' it is
the attitude. How can I trust making future purchases, if I don't have
confident on them, I will never know the value that they will withdraw from
me! Unacceptable!
What is your experience with paypal, and ebay for that matters?
where and how do you do your purchases?
(see atachments, this is not small talk, I prove what I say.)
Bye and best of the world for you.
