PayPal issue/question

[blazi]

anyone here use PayPal often? I have been using it a lot lately, and I've noticed whenever I make a transaction there seems to be small amounts of cash mysteriously disapear, not a transaction/payment fee either, I'm serious it just doesn't add up and there is no record of this money and where it's gone to? anyone else notice this happens a lot with PayPal?

If you have a business account there are some transactions which do have fees.

I realize that LiveDose, but the records would show if there was a fee of some sort. I'm talking about money that just vanishes w/out a trace while using PayPal. Also, I'm not using a business account either. If someone sends me money, I notice a fee which is fine because at least I know the amount and where the money is going, but what I'm talking about is much different and I'm really starting to wonder if PayPal is a good merchant to use.

I have a 1000+ rating at PayPal and have never had any trouble like that. Not on my business or personal accounts.

had 4 accounts frozen over a period of 12 months a while ago. Highest account they froze was for 8000.00 lowest was 2400.00.

If you put through many transactions per hour with paypal, they will freeze your account and ask for a shitload of info that is next to impossible to provide, even if you can provide the info, they keep the money for 180 days then release what is left after that to you.

The best thing to do, if they freeze you, just email all your customers and tell them to do a chargeback with their visa or mastercard provider, make sure they all do it, tell them whatever you have to , but make sure they do the chargebacks.

Paypal sees a shitload of chargebacks, they lose their processing accounts and they don't want that. They will pay you what they owe you if you send them 60 chargebacks in a day and promise them another 400 are on the way.

You got to play hardball with them, but they cower to chargebacks very well.

They are a waste of time. A nice ol merchant account from your bank is the best, or if using third party, there are so many solutions out there other then the useless paypal.

I really don't think you can play hard ball with paypal. They probably get 10s of thousands of chargebacks daily, your 60 in a day won't mean shit to them. What chargebacks will prove though, is that you may be a scammer and they will keep your money even longer.

I've had similar issues with Paypal and finally had to stop using them. The last couple months I've been using GreenZap and it blows Paypal away.

They un-froze one of my accounts last year when I threatened chargebacks, I simply told them that I would send an email to all my members maybe 4x to make sure that they do read it loud and clear, telling them to do a chargeback. Within 1.5 hours I got an email from paypal telling me the account access was restored.

I assumed it was due to my chargeback action call.

Did you actually ended up getting that $20 for opening the account or whatever the amount was?

Yep, went into my account instantly after signing up.
