Oh, how I hate Paypal.....

[Up-the-Creek]

Paypal is a pain,..yep SKR8PN so is Ebay,....I had a paypal account quite a few years back and canceled it. Last year or so I TRIED to open a new account,..wasn't happening. They kept telling me my bank information was allready attched to another account. I said no, that was closed. They said it was. So I asked them to give me my password for my account then if it was open (because I couldn't remember it) They said they couldn't because it had been closed! IDIOTS! I asked him if it was closed then how is my bank account tied to it???? He said I have no idea mam, and he hung up! Never could get ANYONE to fix it after hours and hours of phone calls,...so I gave up. I opened a special checking account at my bank for ebay sales and then opened a new paypal account with my new checking account. SO FAR,..I haven't had any issues but one,...with new ebay sellers,...they hold your freaking money for 21 days or until you get a positive feedback from your buyer,. This happens for 90 days for new sellers,....I am a glutin fro punishment though I guess.

I opened a paypal account a few years so I could buy some stuff on e-bay. We got phishing scams like crazy so we started ignoring everything that looked like it came from paypal. One of the emails was apparently legit and they locked our account. No big deal since we weren't buying anything. A few months ago we were thinking about buying something on ebay, guess what? locked paypal account. We finally got it reopened and immediately got two emails that looked like scams. We forwarded them to paypay and paypal verified that they were phishing scams. Go figure, within 24 hours of reopening an account you get two phishing scams. Seems like there is a problem somewhere.

So, no paypal for me if I'm the seller.
