I'm not entirely sure yet but I suspect I've lost £4 in a PayPal transaction, maybe I'll get it back.

I'm sure the ebayer sent the refund. He sent me a receipt.

Anyway, I came across these

Whether positive or negative, I'd love to hear of your PayPal experiences.

Thanks

Hi Arroryn,
I bought something and paid for it through Paypal, well for 6 weeks i kept getting about 3 emails a day saying i owed them money, so every day i would send them a copy of the transaction plus receipts..:-(
This got really silly when one day i got 6 emails, all the other ones i had saved in a file, so I did a reply on one of them telling them that if they didnt stop sending me email i would return there emails in bulk, which i did, i sent 35 email one at a time.
And guess what.... I didnt hear from them again..

Hi,

Sorry to hear of your recent bad experience but I have to say they are normally very good.
Are you sure the buyer actually refunded you? I know they said they did, could you ask them to see their receipt from Paypal? Recently I had a refund via paypal and they put the money back on my card straight away.
Hope you sort it out.

 

Hi Boyce.

I agree, up until now it's been fine. The seller has a 100% positive feedback & has been in touch via e-mail. Actually he's been very patient about the whole thing. He say's he's sent a receipt out & the PayPal account holder (my mother-in-law) confirms this.

There has been a hold on the transaction for about a week now, so I'm not sure what's happening.

I'm not too worried about £4, it's just the idea of the money being in limbo I find a bit odd!

Anyway, glad to see that most of you have had a positive rather than a negative experience

 

I think someone at Paypal, in a office somewhere in the basement, got bored one day, and started to take the p*+*
and have a laugh.
This was 8mths ago.

That’s funny because about 2 mths ago I had an email from Paypal saying that someone had filed a claim against me for about £45, for goods there never received …
I’d never heard of them, and never sold anything (at the time) for £45.

This was confirmed even when logging into my account at Paypal.

Paypal gave me 9 days to resolve the matter with this other person and gave me 2 options only (ie 2 radio buttons and 1 submit …)

Option 1 : Refund the guy.
Option 2 : Show proof of postage via a postage reference

I couldn’t/wouldn't do either !!!!

After sending Paypal 2/3 emails regarding this , 8 days later, they confirmed it had been resolved. How I don’t know …

But way really pi**ed me off was the fact that I could have easily pressed one button to take £45 from my account

 

Makes you think. Its all too easy for mix ups to happen and its getting harder and harder to argue with these companies
Dont even get me starting on my f**king bank!
