PayPal Complaints & Reviews

They work like syndicate. If you have a problem then is the time that you come to know about high handedness with which Paypal operates. They have classified Tajonline.com as a business providing technical services. With this reason they have held back our money and stopped transaction on our website. Don't know who in paypal was responsible for this mega disaster review, as any plain simple guy with least knowledge of eCommerce will classify "www.tajonline.com" as an eCommerce service provider. or for that matter tajonline.tolshop.com, shaadi.tolshop.com or other white labelled eCommerce websites. Seriously Pay Pal wake up and fire people who do not have capability to understand this basic difference..

Hello Team, This complaint is against PayPal, the company which is involved in online transactions. I am not a user of PayPal and have never used their services, my credit card was never registered with them. My card was used for a fraud transaction though paypal. On 25th Morning, I got a message that my card was used to make the below transactions which I never did: - " 1.00 USD was spent on your Credit Card 4386XXXXXXXX6087 on 25-JAN-15 at PAYPAL.Final FX rates and charges are applicable. " 32, 027.84 INR was spent on your Credit Card 4386XXXXXXXX6087 on 25-JAN-15 at PAYPAL *MGFREESITES.Final FX rates and charges are applicable." I called up the bank and got the card blocked. This issue was reported to Paypal, they took all the details and assured that this transaction will not be charged to my card however, this amount was charged to my card today. On enquiring the same, they do not have any answers. They are not willing to share the details o[censored]ser who used my card to make the purchase. They are even not sharing the details of site where this card was used. It seems they are encouraging the fraud transactions. How would anyone come to use who is the fraud? The person should be arrested and there should eb some strict actions taken which is not the case right now. My card is paasword protected however, as per bank the merchants can skip the password part. This is ridiculous. Some action must be taken so that such instances cannot be repeated in future. Please take some action on this. You are my last hope. Thanks & regards, Alpana

I had paid for a service through pay pal for obtaining a software upgradation service from Trusky in USA. That company looks like a fraud and had been delaying our work so that they fall beyond the paypal timeline limit of 45 days. Afterwhich now they had quit saying that they are unable to provide the service and cannot provide any refund. This is now-a-days a common fraud among USA companies I am noticing. We need your support in getting a refund from Paypal to get our refund o[censored]SD 1, 039.50 from Paypal. Paypal is acting smart by declining my request for processing the refund.

Dear Sir/Madam, I have tried to purchased a case for my cell phone from ebay usa. the case amount was 1.43$ so when i was going to finalised my order i have put the information of my debit card and the payment was through paypal so when i click pay at the end of the procedure. there was some error so transaction was failed. but they debited the amount of 62 Rupees to my bank. so without successful transaction how they can debit 62 rupees from my account and even i have not submit my OTP (one time password for transaction then i can they debit charge of 62. i have also checked my online statement they shown that the payment to paypal.of Rs 62. i want my that charges credited as soon as possible. Waiting for your favorable response. Thanking you, Trushen Patel

I would not recommend anybody to join the Compliance product team under Varun and Bala. Pros: Global work culture. Tons of resource available to learn and practice - No restrictions or constraints. Cons: - Constantly reminded of "how lucky" you are to work for the company and threatened to be replaced. - Office politics and favoritism is the norm. Best eg. Varun could not survive under any other manager other than Bala. - There's a culture of workaholic and significant peer pressure to work until "it's done". - One to One Meetings are a real joke, as you don`t have the Opportunity to discuss your performance but rather the manager orders you how to do things. - Manager informs you 6 months well ahead of the performance appraisals cycle that you are getting a doomed rating. - Useless Workflows in place which changes anytime without notice, what`s today right is tomorrow wrong and vice-versa. Advise to Management: Stop playing micro-management games, stop acting busy as new joiners are confused and tenured employees are suffering. Employ managers who can bring in an overall value to the system and not someone who ensure you are ignored.Promote people in the company with the SKILLS to do the job. If you don't have those people, HIRE people to do it. Don't continue to promote managers without management skills. It's very hard to work when you're teaching your manager how to manage you.

Issue:

I'm placing an order on www.banggood.com and at check out the portal directs me to PAYPAL - CHECKOUT and click that 1USD gets deducted from my account and later the Portal says - "the card you entered cannot be used for this payment, please enter a different debit or credit card no"

PAYPAL deducts cash first and then pops that message which is more or less called as "FRAUD"

Paypal is deducting 4 plus percent on any transaction made. At the time of transaction this charge is not mentioned anywhere and withdrawal charge is written as free. After you transfer the money to paypal, they will charge 4% plus of the amount without your information and then only transfer the money AVOID PAYPAL AT ALL COST

I RECENTLY REGISTERED ON PAYPAL.I ADD MY CORPORATION DEBIT CARD 1809 . AS THEY SAID THE CARD HAS TO BE VERIFIED AND THAT CERTAIN AMOUNT SHALL BE WITHDRAWN BUT WILL BE PUT BACK AFTER VERIFICATION. BUT EVERY TIME THEY SHOWED ERROR. AND 6 TIMES THEY WITHDREW AN AMOUNT OF 63.27 AND IT WAS NOT VERIFIED EITHER. I HAVE LOST AN AMOUNT OF INR 379.62 I HAVE REMOVED THE CARD ACCOUNT FROM PAYPAPL FEARING IF WITHDRAWL OCCURS AGAIN. I HOPE YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND GET MY MONEY BACK INTO THE ACCOUNT CORP BANK ACC NO 1809 . THANK YOU

My name is Abhinav singh chauhan. I had applied for my pan card on 6th June 2013 which was successfully done &i eas alloted with a pan number which is EZEPS7688F Recently i opened an account in paypal.com in order to carry out my transactions. According to the website rules Pan card verification is mandatory for every indian member & it takes 4-6 days for the verification of Pan number & then my account will be completely activated for carrying out my transactions. so i provided them my Pan number But after 7 days they sent me an error message- “The PAN you provided was found to be invalid after verification." When i tried to update by giving my old and original PAN number again, they get the error message, “You have entered your existing PAN. Please enter a different one.” I am now in a state of confusion due to this problem they are facing. The most convenient way to get paid is being shut before me. Please help me out in sorting this problem so that i can activate my account a soon as possible.

I opened a paypal account after the website I was buying an item had paypal as their merchant. Then paypal didn't allow me to use my card without opening an account with them.Then when I opened an account them with then they need my bank details and pan card. I didn't feel disclosing that information to paypal and they have limited the account.Fair enough I didn't disclose the information they wanted so they didn't want to do business with me but I should be able to close an account when I want too.

Now when I tried to close the account paypal asked me to enter the pan card information inorder to close the account which I didn't want to in the first place. I called their support they repeated like a broken record that when I entered an agreement with paypal it is meant that I cannot close an account without disclosing all my private data.

I am not sure how Indian constitutions allows such blackmailing from financial companies? How is paypal allowed to operate in India? Why cant I close my account? Why is paypal not allowing people to close their account if they don't want to do business with them?

Dear Sir

I am a content writer and I have a client in the US, he sent me a payment using the paypal service and Immediately paypal blocked my payment. And kept my money.
They sent me 2 email mentioned below:

We noticed some unusual activity on a credit card linked to your PayPal account. As a security precaution to protect your account and credit card until we have more details from you, we have limited what you can do with your account.Reference Number: PP[protected]
For the safety and security of the PayPal network, we often review accounts for potential risks. After reviewing your account, we have decided to close it because of security issues.
THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING ME WITH CLEAR INFORMATION ABOUT “UNUSUAL ACTIVITY” THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.

This is my hard earned $35 dollars and I know it’s not a big amount but what right does paypal have to keep my money. They said that they cannot verify my debit card so my account is blocked and that I must allow paypal to access my account through my debit card. Why should I do this?
Paypal contacted my bank and tried to charge my debit card a test amount of less than $2 and my bank Corporation Bank declined their transaction that was not authorised by me. I appreciate the action taken by my bank.
Is this legal? Can RBI investigate the operating methods of paypal in India?
My contact email is [protected]@gmail.com please contact me if you need any further details.

Thanking you

I raised an invoice to my client in US through Paypal for which I received the payment o[censored]SD 1000 on July 11th 2012 which has been reduced to just USD 784.

Paypal has been fooling us by showing status that the fund has been remitted to my account has never been done till date.

Everytime I complain, they reverse the transaction and deduct some amount and they again show me that it has been remitted to my account. It has been done 4 times till now but I have not received credit to my account till date.

Below is the transaction history on how they deduct the money

Dear Sir / Madam,

Withdrawn to: ICICI (India) x-3531 (Unique Transaction ID #0VV[protected]S)
PayPal balance was automatically withdrawn on 22-Sep-2011.
Conversion from: -$580.57 USD Conversion to: Rs.27,397.09 INR

Withdrawn to: ICICI (India) x-3531 (Unique Transaction ID #1DD96672W[protected] on 30-Sep-2011.
PayPal balance was automatically withdrawn
Conversion from: -$287.70 USD Conversion to: Rs.13,593.39 INR

Total Rs.40990.48

I have account with Paypal and i am doing kind of outsource work from my home with RBI guideline.

As per new RBI guideline Paypal automatically withdrawn two above funds to my icici bank account but unfortunately that icici account #[protected] has been closed by me on June 2011 due to some personal reason and i forgot to update new bank account details on paypal.

Regarding that withdrawn i have contacted my icici home branch they said they did not receive any fund from paypal due to that account has been closed by me.

So as per paypal request, i have given Global Trace Request on paypal for my missing funds few weeks before but still get any response from paypal. And PayPal executive given me a different wrong information like some one saying PayPal already sent a cheque to me and others are saying PayPal sent a Demand Draft to me.

But few days back i spoke with Indian paypal customer support she said there is no Cheque or Demand Draft paypal sent to me. so i don\'t know which information is correct.

today also i spoke with one paypal executive she said that 4th November paypal dispatched a cheque to me but i am not going to trust them.

If you can please do the needful for me.

Thanks
Pramod Kumar

I HAD GONE TO EBAY SITE FOR SOME BOOKS .I JUST CREATED MY ACCOUNT ON PAYPAL SERVICES FOR ONLINE PURCHASE OUT OF CURIOSITY. BUT PAYPAL IS NOT HAVING ANY OFFICE IN INDIA WHICH I DO NOT KNOW.BUT THEY ARE SENDING ME UNNECESSARY EMAILS AND GIVING ME TROUBLE THAT YOUR ACCOUNT CAN NOT BE CLOSED.I HAVE NEVER USED THEIR SERVICES, NOR DO I INTEND TO DO SO.I SENT THEM EMAIL TO CLOSE MY ACCOUNT BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING SO.PLEASE HELP ME FIGHT THIS PAYYPAL .

Sir,

Paypal has blocked millions of dollars of Indians money who have opened an account with them.

They are using the rules of Reserve Bank of India to block accounts.

As you know the amounts received by Indians are very small between 50-500 dollars and there are millions of Indians with the small amounts.

These amounts are earned through surveys, software jobs and offering services and earn foriegn exchange for India.

The money helps the Indian economy and feed a lot of poor families.

Everybody agrees these small amount cannot be illegal and hardly any verification is required and the amounts are used solely for running the family expenses.

As a protector of Indians RBI should ask paypal to furnish information of all blocked accounts and give details on where is the money.

This is hard earned money of Indians and if it is not stopped paypal will definitely close one day due to the sufferings Indians are having by losing their hard earned money.

Lot o[censored]S companies have already closed down in the past for cheating and fraud.

Be aware of paypal transactions
I have not ever had such a worst experience with any other money transacting websites. In spite of my 4 consecutive complaints against a dispute, my account is still suspended and on the other hand, I did'nt get proper explanations stating the reason for the suspension.
Pls be aware of transacting / Shoping / recommending /trading via paypal.
