Be very careful when using paypal online for any reason. When sending a electronic tarnsaction I accidently entered on number too many in the amount to be sent. I was sending 120. too much..so I used the back button to correct this and then proceeded to send the correct amount. Guess what? both transactions were sent.

I immeadiately tried to cancel the transaction but it would not let me. I contacted the seller who I was sending the money to and they canceled on their end (thank goodness for honest people) but paypal would not let me cancel.

I tried to contact them but after several frustrating hours I finally found a phone number for them in the "terms and agreement" section. When I contacted them they said there was nothing they could do.

So this is what happened...They withdrew both amounts from my bank account with overdrew my account. My bank charged me overdraft charges. The money was put into an account on paypal..I sent it right back to my bank but it took 8 days fot this all to happen.

In that time my bank charged me 22 overdraft charges at $28. per fee. I contacted my bank and tried to explain what happened..they said since it was an online transaction there was nothing they could do.

I was so very upset as I am on social security and do not have the funds available to me to replace this money. The good new is that there is a site called classactionamerica.com that has a class action law suit listed for paypal!

If anyone else out there was ripped off by paypal then you need to find out how to join this law suit! Until then...do not make ANY typo mistakes when sending money!
