Had the worst experience with Paypal
Background info:
Paypal account got compromised. Took out quite a chunk of cash, and changed my language settings to Chinese.
Contacted them yesterday and got them to reverse the charge.
However, it was not in my bank, so I thought it was clear, that they won't charge it.
I find today that my bank now has it pending, tying up quite a bit actually.
I was told that I need a Release of Authorization, which is standard. However, I called Paypal around 3:30 PM, it is now 7:30 and I am still on hold.
I need those funds since my aunt just passed away last night and I would need travel expenses without having to deal with transferring from different accounts which would take days.
Frustrated...
= new reply since forum marked as read
I won't use it.
And...I get several bogus 'paypal' phishing emails every month.
"Your PayPal account has been compromised. Click on the link to fix this problem."
Yeah...right.
DU has a huge loathing hate for PayPal. Long story, and it's 2nd hand information if you ask me personally what happened. It's worse than what you're going through.
