paypal is fucking pissing me off! - GoFuckYourself.com

T[H]C · 01-10-2003, 02:07 AM

I make lots of transactions through paypal, and now, all of a sudden they tell me they can't let the payment go through because they can't validate my card. What the fuck! I have to pay people using paypal and all of a sudden I cant. This will seriously fuck up my rep when people a bitching about not getting their money. I tell them that paypal is fucking up, but you know they won?t believe me. God damn it! I don?t want to fucking mail out mother fucking cashiers checks! Fuck I am pissed!

login with a different IP and most probably it will work. It happens often.

Theo · 01-10-2003, 02:13 AM

i hope you don't have a static ip though......

DemonWolfe · 01-10-2003, 02:23 AM

The PayPal website is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance.
It will be available again at approximately 3:00 am PST.
We apologize for any inconvenience

T[H]C · 01-10-2003, 02:24 AM

No, I have a dynamic ip...but it still won?t work. they sent me this gey fucking form letter when I complained yesterday.

Thank you for contacting PayPal. We apologize for any frustration you are feeling.
To limit the risk that a particular credit card or bank account
transaction may fail, PayPal employs complex statistical models to
identify patterns of behavior.
? These models are similar to the way banks and credit card
companies identify patterns of behavior that are out of the ordinary when approving individual transactions.
? When our system does not allow a certain transaction, it is
merely an indication that the individual transaction fits a pattern we have observed in the past to have a high risk of failure.
? The transaction may be able to be completed by using an
alternate funding option.
Please note:
? These models are transaction, not account, specific.
? The limiting of funding options for a specific payment is not
meant to be representative of trustworthiness or standing in the PayPal community.

Anyone else have this problem before?

phogirl69 · 01-10-2003, 02:26 AM

Dude, I had this problem all fucking day, until I verified my checking accnt (I had to wait for them to deposit $ in my accnt)
and everything went find when I used to checking accnt instead of my credit card.

T[H]C · 01-10-2003, 02:28 AM

yea, I know that paypal is down right now, but this has been happening for the past two days. If they come back up and all is good, fine. If not I will fucking riot!

Fuck that, I dont want to have to verify my checking account with them. they are a fucking credit card billing system, an intermediary.

Oh what assholes they are for trying to proctect you from fraud!

How dare they want you to confirm that its your card!

What assholes they are!!

SandraWang · 01-10-2003, 02:40 AM

I've used PayPal for about a year with absolutely no problems at all...until last week, when someone was going to send some money to my account, and it didn't get through...So I logged in to check it out, and it turns out that they have put my account on "limited" status or sumfin, I can neither SEND or RECIEVE any money...GAH! They ask me to fax them alot of papers and stuff before they will open it again, wtf? I sent them an e-mail and asked why I had to send them all these faxes, and the answer was "You have to send us these faxes"...(Do they have some fucking robots to answer the support questions??)

I'm thinking of removing PayPal totally from my site, but damn, I had alot of customers paying by paypal...

Wurihan · 01-10-2003, 02:47 AM

i don't know if the paypal team work efficient or not because sometimes they reply me pretty fast and sometimes they don't ...when signup on paypal.com for the first time and fax them the documents to verify my account including :1.my id card 2.my passport,3.my wife's id card,4my wife's passport...(for i'm using my wife's US bank account),they replied: "it seems that 4 people are using this account......"ha!

T[H]C · 01-10-2003, 02:53 AM

yea, i have never had a problem with paypal for almost a year. i take this as a stab in the back. fuck this idea of them protecting me, if protecting me means that I cant make payments using MY credit card, then something is fucked up with paypal.

I'm obviously not the only one getting these problems right now, why would they suddenly just fuck up alot of accounts, that have worked great for a year?? With no reason at alll...

Theo · 01-10-2003, 04:11 AM

what kind of papers they wanted you to fax?

lilmia · 01-10-2003, 04:19 AM

Paypal can go fuck themselves.

I went through hell with them for over 3 months over $60, then I said "fuck 'em" and don't deal with them anymore.

They really couldn't care less about their customers.

McSpike · 01-10-2003, 04:44 AM

lilmia,
amen to that! PayPal sucks ass! I'd never use them to receive money.

I don't use them PERIOD.
My boyfriend has a paypal account, but I will NEVER put my credit card on that fucking site as long as I live. They rip people off left and right, claiming to do things for people..

ie : they claim that when a payment is disputed, they argue the case for you, of course, then DON'T keep you updated on what is going on, and you won't hear back from them about it.

Yea great, my money is in the hands of a bunch of $6/hr fuckwits. Nice.

Whenever companies get acquired like PayPal just did, expect changes and system kinks. It never fails.
