Escroquerie et tendem Organisé PAYPAL-EBAY
Comment j'ai été escroqué par le Tandem - Paypal / Ebay

Cher Internaute;
Attention à Ebay et notament paypal, ce sont des escrocs du net. Je vous coseille d'éviter si vous ne voulez pas qu'il vous détroussent. Ne donnez jamais de procuration sur vos comptes.

Voila mon histoire avec eux:
J'ai ouvert un compte particulier chez Ebay pour pouvoir vendre des prosuit cosmetiques et shampoings dans l'internet. A l'ouverture j'ai pu constaté que en moyen de reception d'argeny dans les transactions Paypal était prés selectionné et on ne pouvais l'éviter sous pretexte de garantir les transactions. J'ai trouvé cela un peu contraignant d'etres obligé mais j'ai joué le jeu et j'ai donc commancé a vendre autour de 1500 € de produits mais en réalité autour de 1000 € payés. Ebay a commancé a me prélever des commisions sur des ventes en realité non réglés par les acheteurs donc finalement annulées. Je leur ai demander de me restituer ces sommes et à ce jours pas de nouvelles de leur coté. Mais ce n'est pas le plus grave.

Apres un mois d'activité sous prétexte que mon compte comportait des choses suspectes. Un opérateur chez paypal s'est levé et a mis mon compte en restreint. Et cela depuis le premier octobre.
Me demandans les informations suivantes: 1 mes factures d'achat, 2 les coordonnées de mon fournisseur, 3une autorisation de prelever mon compte. Et aussi un justificatif de domicile et piece d'identité. Pour ces 2 derniers point cela ne me genais pas. Mais la ou le bas blesse c'est que mon compte paypal a toujors été créditeur alors j'ai refusé de donner l'autorisation à ma banque, et aussi les information confidentielles à mes achats. Nulle dans le business ne donnerais ses sources et j'ai bien fait de ne pas leur faire confiance.

Non seulemeent ils bloque en general plus de 20 jours quand vous êtes un pârticulier comme moi vos fonds sous pretexte de sécuriser les acheteurs, mais en plus à n'importe quel moment sans avis préalable ils vos ferons une restriction comme ils appellent de compte, vous empechant de virer vos sommes disponibles.

Au 1 octobre j'avais sur le compte paypal 100.99 € libres et dont ils ne sont pas propriétaire qu'ils sequestrent sous pretexte falacieux a ce jour.De plus sur un des clients livré avec un peu de retard il continue a suspendre un autre 134, 02 €

Total sequestré a ce jour depuis le 1 octobre 2010 235 €

Je leur ai dis de me restituer mes fonds mais il m'on répondu que sans levée de la restriction cela n'estpas possible. De plus EBay me dois toujours mes commission indument payées, malgré leur réclammation.

Attention a paypal, il se ferons de la trésorerie sur votre dos. Il fonctionnent comme un saprophyte, ne leur donner jamais l'acces à votre compte. Ils trouverons des pretextes pour vos derober vos fonds.
Quand cela vous arrivera personne de répondra à vos email pour trouver une solution adaptée, ils ferons le mort afin de mieux profiter de vos fonds.

Ce genre de société n'est batis que sur du virtuels et depends de l'argents des gens qui utilisent leur site. Boicoter les il y a tellement de société qui fonctionnent normalement comme Le bon coin depuis cette aventure je suis chez eux et la situation est tellement plus douce et paisible pour travailler. Personne comme chez Ebay ou Paypal pour vos dicter votre conduite.

Ce sont de vrais escroc du net alors un conseil eviter les si vous souhaiter faire de bonne opérations. Je ne parle pas de leur commissions tres elevées pour se voir en plus dicter une soit disant moralité. Mais qui est moral dans cette histoire . Le voleur ?

Pour ma part j'ai mis une croix sur ces bandits du net, mais je me suis juré de raconter mon histoire afin d'éviter à d'autre personnes de se retrouver dans la meme situation que moi.

235 € c'est peux etre peu pour paypal mais cela représente beaucoup pour moi. Je fais de l'humanitaire et les sommes que je recoltaient de mes ventes sont pour aider des gens defavorisés en Inde ou je suis en voyage actuellement.

Si vous avez été floué par Paypal et Ebay, veuillez m'adresser un courriel afin que nous deposions un plainte collective à leur égard. [email protected]

'Buyer Protection' is an illusion
STUPIDITY REIGNS AT PAYPAL: After a seller made an unauthorized charges of $39, I filed a claim with Paypal. I submitted an affidavit, emails and other supporting documents. Two weeks later Paypal asked me to fax them the same information I had previously supplied. I had a week to submit the information but I faxed it to Paypal immediately.

Guess what? An hour after I sent the fax, Paypal emailed me to say that they had dismissed my claim. Get a load of the reason:

"All charges prior to cancellation are considered valid. As this
transaction was not cancelled until 09/14/10, after the merchant obtained a
valid authorization, this is considered a valid charge.

"As a result, the provisional credit of $39.00 we posted to your account on
09/27/10 will be debited from your PayPal account on or after 10/11/10. "

HUH?

Paypal needs to hire support people who haven't been lobotomized.

USE 'BACKGROUND FUNDING' AT YOUR OWN PERIL: Oh, yeah. Don't sign up for BACKUP FUNDING. The $39 unauthorized charge went through only because I had backup funding and Paypal was able to deduct $4 from my checking account to make up the difference between the balance in my account and the charge.

I have two rules: Never keep more than $100 in my Paypal account and use the money ASAP.

I'm better off asking for checks or creditcard information rather than using paypal
I use paypal for ebay to buy and to sell. I haven't had any problems with using paypal as payment because it protects me in that i won't get scammed out of money or something.

The few times i've sold things on paypal i've had it where they put my payment on hold in order to make sure that the item is shipped and goes to the customer. The bad thing, is that even though you have shipped it, the customer can dispute it and say that they didn't get the item and then paypal automatically takes the money back even though you really did ship it. Then you're out of money and the item.

Even when you send in proof that you have shipment tracking and everything, they side with the customer. I got scammed so many times out of this it just frustrates me. I'm better off asking for checks or creditcard information rather than using paypal.

no buyer protection
I sold a camera (worth $1931) through an ebay auction on March 31, 2010.

The winning bidder authorized payment through PayPal, and emailed me a Fed Ex label to send the
camera to their friend in California. The day after I shipped the camera, Paypal placed a hold on the funds
and through their investigation found the someone had allegedly taken over the account of the rightful Ebay and
Paypal member and fraudulently placed the winning bid and authorized the Paypal payment to my account.
They reversed the payment and I was out $1931.

I thought I was protected from this kind of security breach by Ebay and Paypal's site security and that they would
be responsible for the lost money, I was wrong and they gave me no help in trying to collect the money.

shipping payment release
I just sold some scrap computer parts on Ebay and received a very prompt payment for the item but I am unable to ship the item due to paypal. I have called paypal customer service TWICE regarding this matter and have spoken to a supervisor as well. They have basically told me that unless I have money in MY pocket to cover shipping costs I can't ship the item using paypal. I tried to explain to them that I have $0.00 in my checking account and on my debit card and I needed to use the funds in my account to pay for the shipping of my customer's package. They have set there system up so that I must wait either three days after the package has arrived or 21 days until I can use the funds on my account, this has seriously affected my ability to conduct transactions on my account.

SCAM
I was a victim of a scam when using PayPal. Never trust sending anything to Lagos, Nigeria under any circumstance if the money has not been deposited into your account. To be extra safe, transfer that money to your bank account. NEVER do money transfers via Western Union, Money Gram, etc. YOU should not be putting out any kind of money. I was a first time international seller, so I fell victim not knowing the real procedures. I thought I was talking to a PayPal representative the whole time. PayPal doesn't e-mail you, there is no e-mail representative!

Please be careful, call and do your research before you put anything out!
I lost my product and over $800 in cash. I could have lost more but I stopped when it became really unprofessional and unreasonable!
Also, they will fake as the FBI to help you investigate the scam, asking you to send the money so they could track it. (Stupid and ridiculous as it sounds?? YES! Trust your instincts and check the e-mail address).

This was my first time and I thought I was being careful and smart, trusting PayPal as the middle person for my transactions.
Anyone can fall victim, stop it as soon as you can.

Put freeze on my acount & is ruining my business
I started my own small online business in July, have used paypal before, I added their cart, and used them on Ebay. I started getting alot of sales, and everything was selling like crazy on Ebay. After receiving a sale of $180 I was very excited! Then, all of a sudden paypal put a freeze on all the money in my account, stating I am a high risk seller, I have no feedback, blah, blah, blah. They will not remove the freeze, and are killing my business. I cannot use any of the funds in my ebay account towards my business sales! I contacted them, they will not take it off, or even allow me to use ANY of it. Now I am trying to keep the business afloat, without losing customers, or having them put in paypal disputes because they have not received their items yet.I can't tell customers your order will be delayed because paypal decided to freeze all my funds, they don't understand, they just want their stuff. I have switched to google checkout on my website, but still have auctions going on ebay-which payments will of course go into paypal and I will continue to be screwed even further. Everyone should avoid paypal like the plague.

Paypal KEEPS UR MONEY!
I can't list my business name or paypal may freeze my account AGAIN! I have had so many bad experiences with paypal you may think I'm crazy for still using them, but I live out of the country and unfortunately, they are the only game in town. Western Union for transferring money is just too expensive.

1. Had a customer file a complaint and he received his merchandise in the mail the same day. Paypal froze $180 out of my account. He immediately tried to rescend the complaint, called his credit company, sent letters and Paypal ignored them all. I wrote an answer to the complaint and sent his letters as proof that the item was received and the customer just 'jumped the gun' - to this day they have not refunded the money back into my account. This was 3 month+

They kept it.

2. Made an 'unauthorized deposit' into another account that I have an atm card for. They haven't sent me the replacement card for this year - for some reason they keep canceling the credit card and my old one is expired.

WARNING: when transferring money from one paypal account to another for personal spending money, make sure it's at least $1000 or they'll freeze your account for at least a month. That's how long they froze mine over $300. I t/frerred $1000 with no problem, later I transferred $300 and the blocked it.

The bottom line is although they pretend you can transfer money for personal use without paying them a commission, this is not true! If you circumvent their fee structure, they'll punish you and use your money until they damn well get ready to make it available to you again.

3. If you are traveling or living out of the country, BE SURE to notify them ahead of time. When you go to use your atm machine outside the US they may freeze your account for security reasons. If you call and tell them it's you, they ignore it and keep your account blocked. It's happened to several people I know over the years.

The Paypal system reminds me of swimming with sharks. If you're careful and wary, doesn't matter, you'll still get bit occasionally and sometimes (years ago I had them close an account WITH MY MONEY IN IT, and it was never returned!), they will eat you alive!

Paypal's service is great but some of their live support people are quite terrible
Paypal 's service is great but some of their live support people are quite terrible. Their lack of English skills is very apparent and really annoying to deal with. I am quite patient by nature but between them and Earthlink, I have now decided that choosing companies with good customer service and excellent communication skills is by far the most important ingredient in my selection.
