[Rant]Paypal is the Worst Company[Rant] - ❤️Fetz❤️ - May 25, 2014

PayPal is the worst company ever known to man. I have gone through so much verification on who I am. I have mailed PayPal a picture of a bank statement, verified my bank account, verified my phone number, answered security questions, etc.

Someone recently ripped me out of 96 dollars... I want the put the money back in my account via. my bank, and it wants me to verify SSN! Since when was that put in place? I have transferred money to my PayPal from my bank before!

Alright, well that is a bummer, I can no longer add money from my bank account, therefore for me to get money into my PayPal, I need to be sent from another PayPal account. What a pain.

Now, I have 10 dollars in my PayPal approximately. I go to a site to buy an item (Tattoo ink to be specific), checkout, and PayPal gives an error. I have no idea why I received the error. I go to look at my PayPal account and I see this:

Like what the heck is Placed?

I called PayPal and they made me go through a whole question game just like eBay did. I of course failed it somehow. (Everything on my PayPal is the true information, except my date of birth.)


I do not see how a company can be this demanding of information to it's users. I do not deal that much money, just to buy stuff online. In all I have only dealt about 1-2k (Which isn't that much, compared to other people with business). I have provided banking information, proof of identity, address verification, and phone verification.

Now they want my SSN. What will they want next? Pictures of my dick to verify my penis size?

Fuck Paypal, they are a bunch of scum bags. I'm tempted to sue them but it would be a waste of time tbh. 😉

That made my fucking day. Holy fuck.

OT ; Alot of people are over Paypal. My account has $102 and it got limited for no apparent reason. I now need to wait 3 months to get it unlimited.

I may just move to BTC where its safer.

Did anybody read that article where the CEO of Ebay said that they were considering implementing BTC into Paypal or something? Not sure how that would work out though.

* - ❤️Fetz❤️ - May 25, 2014

I would like to move to Bitcoins, or just an easier payment processor system. Although I want to be able to use it on eBay etc.

Any other ideas?

I've never had a problem but I only started using paypal after I was 18.
Seems like lots of people under 18 have problems.

Paypal acts as a bank, it's not some company that you can easily use.

Lol that was pretty funny. But on the subject of using bitcoin instead of paypal to pay for things. Their are some new websites and programs like snapcard that let you buy almost anything on the web using Bitcoin. I would be careful of some of these though because a lot of online exchanges, wallets etc. steal coins a lot.

They recently ripped $200 off me, the best thing you can do is make more money, and get BTC.

Paypal has ridic security standards. I only deal with them because there is no other service like theirs.

give them your fucking SSN for tax purposes dipshit and they'll unlock your account, give you your cash back or whatever, if you want to cry about paypal being anal about handling money then go use liberty reserve or the thousands of other payment processors and let me know how that works dumbass.
shit i can't stand it when people fucking cry about paypal 24/7.

Years and years, and I've never had a problem.

Thank you! I've been a customer for 7+ years now and have never conducted illegal activity or anything that breaks their TOS. Thousands of dollars go through my paypal every single year. I get scammed a bunch too, but because of me following the rules like you're supposed to, all of the cases rule out in my favor.

I hate Paypal, they are assholes, but I'll always use them, because they have a easy way to connect your bank to your account.
