DONT TRUST PAYPAL

[leethefish]

I went to the cash point on Thursday just to get a balance the usual dd gone out but also a payment to paypal for £500 ............

confused because i haven't used pay pal or bought any thing from eBay since before Xmas!!

i rang them they told me that it was an e cheque to ross.bloomer@hotmail.co.uk

and they would stop the payment as its not left my bank yet??

i went to the bank and they said it has left and because its set up as dd paypal have to refund it not them !!

ffs back on the phone to paypal after an hour yes we will refund it immediately ...great....

check my balance online....nothing i ring them again and guess what the £500 is in my paypal account

i ring them again and tell them i want it in my bank account there response ...
withdraw it then!!!
"ok but thats gonna take 2-3 days"
 ....yes
" well wtf your telling me i have to wait till wednesday to get MY FUCKING money no way chaps it to my bank"
not our policy sir
"ok its my birthday weekend that money is to go out i off to see peter kay etc"
sorry sir 2-3 WORKING days
"WANKERS"

who is Ross Bloomer and why would you you send him an e cheque? or is this something PayPal have done without prompting?

the other stuff seems just standard to me.

I'm confused

[leethefish]

i have no idea who rossthefriggingconningbastard is

and i haven't sent anyone any money i did not even know an e cheque existed
so no i did not send or authorise or know anything about it till bank account was £500 light.

thinly veiled 'i have a monkey' brag post imo


hope it's sorted soon and that they look into it properly for you

Don't really think pay pal have done too much wrong, they sorted it pretty quickly. Fraud wasn't committed by them, they've given you a refund.

Nip some money off cos, he's loaded and always ships people he doesn't know (not sure if you know him) money!

i agree to the point about they have sorted it quick ...but i think it should go into my bank instantly or at least withen a few hours ......

Tbh, paypal have done everything they're able and done it VERY quickly. You've obviously had your paypal hacked and someones set up a direct debit for £500 thinking you either a) won't notice or b) they'll get away with a monkey.

I'd say quite the opposite tbh, sounds like paypal done a good job

i think you think different if its £500 you really need this weekend like me... cos all your other money has just been spent on bills and tied up elsewhere !!!!
as i said its the 2-3 working days i dont agree with

[StuartHopkin]

Honestly with paypal your lucky your getting your money back

can see where you are coming from but no company is going to send the money via any other form of transfer as it will cost them £30 or whatever, now if they do it for you as its your birthday they will need to do it for most people.  They have a process set up which seems to work.  Fraud happened, they sorted it. 

WP Paypal.  Never really used them before but after reading this thread I'm encouraged by there superb customer service.
