PayPal will hold money until I prove I shipped. I didn't sell anything. Man, how far PayPal has fallen. I created a new PayPal account. It's linked to a Bank account, and a Credit card of mine. My sister "PayPalled" me some money (to buy something for her). PayPal held it and told me I needed to provide evidence of shipping before they'd release it. I emailed them to tell them I wasn't a "seller", this was a private transaction. Received an auto-generated email telling me what "sellers" had to do. Responded, telling them I wasn't a seller. I got a reply from an apparent human referring to me as a "seller" and telling me what "sellers" had to do. I finally gave up when I discovered there was no phone number I could call to resolve this. Refunded the money to my sister (PayPal lost the 5% they were charging -- this was an international transaction), and am looking for alternatives. Man, has PayPal fallen. |
