Pay pal placed a hold on 1209.33 of my money from items I sold on E-Bay.
They send me a e-mail and explain that I must provide proof of sale from the items I sold like I am a criminal.
This is a privacy issue as far as I am concerned.
I have a right to protect how I earn my money and not give away my trade secrets.
Pay Pal is only a accounting buisness not a Bank,Lawfirm,or Police Department.
They are not licenced to even make money off intrest from sales.
They need to be federal regulated.
The Attorney General needs to look into these matters
1- What the percentage is of how many accounts are placed on hold 180 days.
2- What happens to the funds when this is done.
A- Do they move these funds on the market to make a profit?
B- Do they move these funds in a escrow account?
If the funds are moved are they obligated to pay intrest for the funds that are locked out from their customers?
I recived a final letter from them that said they will no longer do buisness with me does that not terminate my account and on demand they must return my money from items I sold..
I have letters from all my buyers and every item I sold they were all very satisfied with the items I sold them.
any chargebacks that could be filed is pass the date sold that could be filed even if that was not the case.
would not matter because pay pal does not pay for the chargebacks because they are not a bank.
So let us define what is pal pal.
a third party that takes money and makes money off that money.
sort of like a bookie?
The Mafia?
defined perfectly.

Court Action Against Pay Pal
AUTHOR: Delbertbutta - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, January 23, 2009
How Does PayPal Make Money With My Money?
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, there are approx. 100,000 complaints outstanding at PayPal (Are any of these yours?). In many instances disputes can run on for months leaving people frustrated and out of pocket as they are unable to access their accounts. So what happens to the millions of dollars tied up in frozen accounts and disputes? Well, here is a clip from the San Francisco Chronicle that basically sums it up:
U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel of San Jose refused to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks class-action status on behalf of thousands of PayPal customers nationwide. A common allegation is that the company brushes off or stalls customer grievances for months and meanwhile freezes the customer's account and pockets the interest (So that's how they make their money!). No wonder they freeze so many accounts!
The Lawsuit You Need To Know About
As you will come to discover while browsing through the many horror stories posted on this site by current and former PayPal users, PayPal has some tough allegations to deal with. Allegations of mishandling money, unnecessarily locking funds, not providing adequate customer support, freezing accounts with no explanation and disregarding customer complaints, just to name a few.
In early 2002, Plaintiffs Roberta Toher and Jeffrey Resnick filed separate lawsuits against PayPal, Inc. These two cases were later consolidated into one lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
The lawsuit alleges, among several other issues, that PayPal has placed inappropriate restrictions or other limits on customers' accounts and engaged in several other improper practices. Based on these improper practices, the lawsuit sought damages for money unjustly held, negligence, and violations of consumer protection statutes.
Rather than dealing with a lengthy public trial and being forced to clean up their act, PayPal decided to settle out of court and pay $9.25 Million Dollars to Tens of Thousands of PayPal merchants who processed with PayPal between October 1, 1999 and January 31, 2004. (A mere slap on the hand for a company this size)
Instead of a Judge forcing PayPal to change their questionable business practices, PayPal agreed to pay the settlement and walk away from the entire allegation.
So what does this mean to current PayPal merchants? Unfortunately, this means that PayPal is free to continue operating in the exact same way it always has. Judging by the number of PayPal horror stories we receive every single day, it appears that the situation has only gotten worse since the settlement.

PAYPAL STOLE $200 FROM ME WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY
AUTHOR: Joe - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, January 23, 2009
SHOULDN'T THESE PEOPLE COME UNDER SOME SORT OF FEDERAL REGULATION?
AT IT STANDS NOW, THEY HAVE NO ACCOUNTABILITY TO ANYONE!
WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED UP, I PUT IN $200 AND IT WAS STOLEN BEFORE I EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO SPEND IT MYSELF.
NO ONE EVER RESPONDED TO MY INQUIRES WHICH BECAME MY COMPLAINTS.
THE FEDS SAID THEY LACKED JURISDICTION AND I AM SURE THAT NOBODY WANTS THE FEDS TO REGULATE THE INTERNET.
SO BY NOW PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PAYPAL.
PAYPAL IS A RIPOFF WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE MONEY YOU PUT IN THERE.
THEY DON'T CARE IF YOUR MONEY IS STOLEN OR NOT AND WHO KNOWS BUT MAYBE ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES STOLE IT!
eBAY IS A HUGE RIP OFF OR A CRAP SHOOT AT BEST --YOU MAY NOT GET WHAT YOU ORDER AND WHAT YOU PAY FOR. OR YOU MAY. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE THAT CHANCE.
I SAY THE HELL WITH BOTH OF THEM!
