DO NOT trust Paypal, read my experience

I decided to write this review to warn others from dealing with paypal, they have charged me before completing the registration process, and after charging me they have asked for me to fax them extra documents that I don't have, I told them that I don't have that documents, and I asked them to find an alternative way, they replied stupidly asking the same question, I called them and wasted my money on international calls, every one of their rude employees gave me different answers. at the end I asked them to close my account, they refused, they said that the cannot close the account neither they can activate it if I don't send them the faxed papers. Simply they are either stupid or they were stealing me. I still couldn’t get my money back, but I had to cancel my credit card because they had a continuous access on it, and that cost me allot also. There should be a law to watch such companies...
You watch your money, and don't trust those companies that call themselves as a company for your own security; it is a company that will have a full access to your credit card... I lost much with my registration trial with Paypal (www.paypal.com) be careful from this company.

Not my experience. I had to fax them papers on my credit card, if I remember correctly. But that wasn't a problem after that. I think it was a bank statement. I use PayPal almost every week to buy from eBay.

perhaps its because you live in what is considered quite a dodgy country by many others?
all ive had to do with paypal, and ive been using them for years, is enter my card and bank details online, they performed a chargeback on my account of $1 and i had to enter the reference that showed on my bank statement

Paypal has always worked very well for me. From what I remember, I gave them my bank account information and then they made three small deposits. To verify, I had to let them know the amounts of those three deposits. Now, 100's of transactions later, I am a veteran and still highly satisfied. Sorry you had an unfavorable experience.

Ok... Maybe you had some good experience there, but I advice you all to have a look on this site (www.nopaypal.com) and also you may search Google for other peoples reviews on this issue... in the site I gave here, you will find too many stories that are simillar to mine..
they also say that with paypal things goes fine until you face a small silly problem, then you start to suffer, one of them says, that he sold an item for a specific amount of money and after he recieved the payment to paypal they have limited his account and he cannot get him money from them until now !!
read and see how they deal with people,
if you think that they read those fax papers then you are mistaken, someone says that he faked the papers and faxed them and things went fine, where is the security in that? you can steal a card number and fake the fax paper, the more secure way was the $1.95 decuction and verifying it by the 4 pin number, I did that but they didn't satisfy with it, they are like machines, they Don't have minds to use and think, when I be honest with them and tell them that I don't have such a paper, they reply saying: "we are still waiting for the fax" like robots....
the main problem there is that they are not trained to handle problems, when you have a problem then you are stuck there....
one more important issue that i have mentioned: how come they have charged me before verifying my card, they claim that they limited my account because they cannot verify my account, then what if I stole that card, why did they charge the real owner then? they should have asked for all of the papers they needed then they could start charging, that is really silly, common people search google and have a look on www.nopaypal.com, there are books talking about paypal's cheating, you can read everyday a new story there... if you had a good experience with them then this is not meaning that they are good, it is just you are lucky that you didn't face any problem yet!

Okay, let's get real here.
What documents would they ask for that a card owner wouldn't have? Why don't you have the documents?
The domain name, NoPaypal.com, was registered back in 2001 in order to drum up support for a class action lawsuit. Yep, that person had a bad experience when Paypal was new. The "Bash Paypal Bandwagon" was in full force several years ago. You are a little late.
If I stopped using every service/vendor that someone had a bad experience with, I'd have to stop using everything.
If I go to a restaurant that sucks, I don't go back. Don't run around like chicken little yelling "the sky is falling".

they wanted either a water bill or electricity bill in my name, well my card is not issued from the same country that I am currently living in, I was living there once, but even at that time I was renting a home so the bills were not in my name, and I have no other document to send them in my name, so this is realistic, if you don't like to believe that they are theievs then you are free, keep dealing with them , everyone is free in this life, I just liked to warn the other people and give an advice, so take my advice or leave it, but don't regret later!!

so you have a bank in a country were you dont live, no way you can confirm your current and previous addresses and you are complaining that paypal wont deal with you!!!!!
good! im glad paypal wont deal with you, if you were to rip me off, what could i do about it? i couldnt find out where you live or where you bank.
wake up, smell the coffee, get yourself a bank and a real address that you own and pay your way in, then maybe, just maybe youll have some financial credibility
jeesh!
dont tell me... you are nigerian and you have $1 200 419 that you need to invest, but your governmnt charges too much tax.........................
:roll:

you people thing yourself something?? huh..
work your mind a little bit, I dont have to give you all the details, dump yourself and deal whoever you like to, I just wrote my experience, and as I said before you are free to get the advice or leave it,
are you working for paypal guys? you appear to be from UK? by the way I am not nigerean and I do not care about you or the companies in your country, if you want to realy talk about ropping people, then read carefully my story and see how paypal took the money before even getting the fax, then what if really I was ropping someone's card? why did they charge him before getting sure? I was ropped by paypal and didn't get my money back yet.... maybe you cannot think wide.. it is your problem, that is why in your country we always hear such stories, but thanks God we don't have much like those stories from local companies, you even didn't use your mind to look at the flag near my name and your wide imagination lead you to nigeria, cool
for your information, my bank is now handling the case with this stupid paypal company, I respect my bank and I am very happy of their fast reaction against what paypal did, I wont be posting any further details about this topic in this forum cuz it looks like the people here are to fight not to get advices and advice others, you could have read it and either propose me a solution for my problem like someone who did in other forum, or you could just close that page, but you prefer to defend paypal, they probably from your way of defending, you are one of them !
Good luck for the good people..

the reference to nigeria was a joke, the clue was in the monetary amount, for someone so concerned about scams, im surprised youve never heard of the "nigerian 419" scam
google it
btw, i know what country your flag is from, i said as much in my first reply when i politely commented on the fact that many businesses in the world may not trust doing business with people from that country, hence the requests for additional verification of who you are.
the fact that you bank in another country and have no id relating to where you live really makes it of no surprise that they dont want to deal with you.
they charged US$1.95....... not exactly fraud of the century is it?

after sending one item paypal says..international shipment
We are sorry for the delay in transferring the money that was paid by Katrina Baral into your PayPal account. We hereby inform you that the money that we are ordered to transfer into your PayPal account (€180.00 EUR) is too Small for us to transfer into your PayPal account due to International Transfer Limit from our PayPal Transfer Department Unit and the new Policy of our PayPal. So the real amount that can reach your account from our PayPal Transfer Desk start from €400.00 EUR upward. we contacted Katrina Baral about this situation to make an additional payment of €220.00 EUR into your PayPal account.
We are happy to tell you that Katrina Baral have made an additional payment of €220.00 EUR into your PayPal account which is already deducted from the buyer account. It's already confirmed and approved by us which means the total amount of €400.00 EUR is approved and it is ready to be credited into your PayPal account TODAY. So we think we can sort the problem out by you sending the Excess Fund. Katrina Baral ask us to tell you to help him send the excess fund of €200.00 EUR to his daughter and use the extra €20.00 EUR for the western union charges and for your transportation.
You are advised now to go to any western union Outlet/Office and send the excess fund of €200.00 EUR to his daughter and get back to us with the western union details so we can verify and get your account credited without any further delay.

[Tut] How to get a free phone .

hi
Do you eant to get an apple 4s for free?
Read this.
REALLY NOT FAKE.my friend got 1 apple 4s.
I have found an advertising web site that ship (send) free phones
but u have to advertise for that web site.
HOW?
u must find some people to register in that web site
if u register in this site it will give u a invitation code u send it to ur friends and they register with that code so the web site know that u invited her/him and they can invite another persons ""if u invite a person he must invite at least 1 person to become active"".tell them that they can get free phones if they invite another persons too.
now complete tut:
1.go to this page:
2.press register and fill it like attached file .
this is my invitation number Because i have told u this u must insert this number in "Referral ID" so the site know that i have invited u.
3.accept terms and active ur acc with the link that sent to ur email
4.invite persons
* any phone need a different number of invited persons
for example if u want to get Apple 4s u must invite 45 persons
really easy.
*** dont register from public locations just from ur own pc and network because if another person register with the same pc or network ur acc will be deleted.
MOD EDIT: 7. Do not spam.

Hi, Fit costs around 190-200 USA Dollars here, so if you want to donate, 170-180 would be fine. I can't spend much from my own money. Don't send me money until enough people are willing to donate.

count me in for Rs 100 or $2 .
A suggestion or you guys why not let people post the cheapest price for a device second hand included they cN find so that we dont need to shell out so much money .
i got some in india on online stores for about 190$(us) so not worth it but ebay us showed two galaxy fit slightly old for just 75$ that seems to be something no...

Post away then ^
TheWhisp needs device, so we can either manage a phone, or money to buy that phone...
First hand fit would be hard to come by...

About $112[US] reduces the need to raise large amounts in donation.

count me too
Count me as well. ready to donate 2$ or 100Rs. we should come forward to have our gfit running on ICS or JB

OK, I am in. I can afford $20 as donation. A little step from every one can make a big move. And after all its for us guys.

ya I think its a good idea but the major problem is how we will send fit to him
we can send money but it would be slightly difficult of sending fit to whisp....
anyways I think its a good idea and we should give it a try!!!!!

Okay, I'll jot down the problems because of which fit forums doesn't see much donations:
1. Underage user and devs: Quite a few here are below the legal adult age of their country
Solution: Use a parent/guardian's account
2. Don't have paypal/credit card or no means of doing online monetary transactions:
Except catching hold of a person who has a paypal, giving him some cash and telling him to pass it on to the dev's paypal; there's no solution except that...
I don't trust people enough with my money that I intend to give to others, so I'm not running off to transfer money to a 3rd party account either
Solution: ?
3. Want to donate, but have no cash:
Maybe because you don't earn/are a student
Solution: Nothing much
4. Don't want to donate and have no ideas to give, just here to troll:
Solution: Use the back button in your browser, this thread isn't for you
Main problems are 1 & 2...
And 2 is the most important one as that's what is stopping a lot of people...

Well, cheapest I could find is ~180$ new. I couldn't find any used in the most popular Latvian sites. I can donate ~30$ from my own money. Maybe even 40$. (So you can add me in the list) I don't know why it's so expensive, even Galaxy Mini 2 is in the same price

[Q] Donations India Paypal

Hey...
I wanted to make an account to receive donation on xda... so i signed up on Paypal...
But due to some Indian Government policies... Indians are not allowed to receive donations...
I have seen many Indian Members on xda with donation link... So i wanted to know how they do it?
How they made a donation account?
I contacted Paypal but they said they don't allow it... Is there any other way I can receive money from donations?
Thank you...

Re: [Q] * Donations * INDIA * Paypal *
Is there something called a donation account?
Don't know about that.
Otherwise, for Paypal, you need a valid bank account which you link with. Your paypal account is useless if there's no linked account.
Information may not be accurate as I do not possess a donation account/Paypal either, but this is what I've figured out.
