I DISLIKE and DO NOT USE Paypal
Aug 15, 2020,19:31 PM
I do not use it and never will again. Quick story: My business did a LOT of $$ one Christmas... Pay pal decided to FREEZE my account, asking for every single person's shipping address and the items they purchased. Until I provided all of that, they literally held my funds hostage. Hey, IT WAS CHRISTMAS TIME. My business is over 40 years in continuous business. Not only that, but the phone customer service spoke to me as if they were my 'horrible boss', speaking down to me, and having a take it or leave it attitude. NEVER AGAIN! And I am so very sorry to hear this terrible story!! No credit card purchases, no Pay Pal, only WIRE or cash in person, PERIOD.
Regarding wires, my banker has told me they CAN NOT be reversed once they leave 'pending' status. That's usually a 24 hr period. My banker said, wire is the ONLY payment that can not be reversed. However, a cashier's check CAN be reversed.
This is a very sad situation, it may be possible the paypal account was hacked to 'steal' the watch, and the true owner of the account did not know? Either way, be very wary of Pay Pal.
