Paypal-Does anyone have any problems with them.On Ebay or any other site.

 

I say this because in the last 4 weeks on Ebay my Paypal account has slowly closed on me.

Only able to access it at strange times of the day,say 12 midnight or perhaps as i get up early 4 or 5 am.

Then a few weeks ago i could not access at all.

Usually it says DNS server cannot be found,but everything else in the world can be found.

 

So i am selling on ebay and receiving payments paying postage but cannot access my Paypal account.

So really for myself Paypal has turned into a great big savings account with no interest.

 

I personally now have lost all faith in Paypal and looking for an alternative.

This might cost me sales but all my eggs are never put in one basket.Just in case.

Now this morning at 4-30 by some miracle i managed to access Paypal,i am honoured to have received this privilege.I will send them a letter thanking them.

Due to the way things have been going i withdrew my hard earned money and transferred it into my bank whom i have much more faith in.

 

This is what i have been checking each day as my frustration grew.Check it out if you feel so inclined.

See what some are saying here and there.And of course is it accurate.

Just checking my emails a few moments ago i received a email saying.

 

Your Account Has Been Limited

Your ΡayΡal account has been limited because we've noticed significant changes in your account activity. As your payment processor, we need to understand these changes better.

This account limitation will affect your ability to:

Send or receive money

Withdraw money

Also, you won't be able to:

Remove any bank accounts

Remove credit cards

Close your account

 

Charming,clearly they are the powerful ones and can do what they want at any time.

I am invited to go to the resolution centre and say what has happened.

If i manage ever to sign in again.

Why i withdraw my money instead of leaving it in their hands.

Anyway i just wondered what anyone else thinks of Paypal lately.

And what are the real alternatives to Paypal when on ebay etc.

Thanks Tawnyowl.

I will for now ignore that email as i have just logged on once again to Paypal.

I noticed that i still have a small balance and the withdraw and deposit is still open.

I do not know what is going on.

Will leave it for now but something has been going on with Paypal for a while.

And i am not tech minded enough to understand it.

But many people have had issues with Paypal for a while.

Do they Paypal that is sometimes get attacked i do not know.

But if you rely solely on Paypal it could be worrying.

I will never ever use e-bay or pay-pal again, had bad experience with both and know a few people who have had several problems with both!

 

Neither are safe tbh so I heard!

 

Hope you get it sorted TO

Hi snowdragon.

I will stand by what i said about Paypal and possible problems for some when trying to log in etc.

 

However the email i received is clearly not from them it is one of those emails that try to get info out of you by hook or by crook.

Who sends these to people are clearly the trash that operate around the world and try to part people from their hard earned money.

It seems there are many doing the rounds.

I should have read it a touch slower.

The email was received OCT 6TH 2016 yet the last paragraph read.

Please log in to your ΡayΡal account and provide the requested information before April 27, 2016 through the Resolution Center. If we don't receive the information before this deadline or we notice additional significant changes in your account activity, your account access may be further limited.

Enough from myself for now.But if you have had any problems let others know.

Thanks Tawnyowl.
