Paypal is the worst internet creation ever.
They are supposed to create a "safe monetary exchange environment" when in fact they waste time, their website is exceptionally user unfriendly, the help section only addresses half the problem, the fee list omits more than half of the fees they could potentially charge you and when you want to use their service, they put a cap on the amount of money you can put on a credit card.
Their customer service representatives are crap, gave me 3 different sets of advice, all which proved to be wrong and misleading causing my transaction to be much more expensive than it already was. I got charged a bank dishonour fee of $45 because Paypal defaults payments sent via email request to a bank account without prior consent of the user.
Paypal, along with all other financial institutions are a POS. I called both departments, trying to find out where my money was and trying to cancel the transaction - but both ends denying any responsibility or ability to action anything.
I've already emailed them voicing my discontentment with their mediocre and inefficient service - of which they have conveniently ignored because they were not songs of praise.
If anyone else has had a bad experience with Paypal, please share. How do we get back at these nasty, American internet companies with whom we rely and trust our most sensitive information with?
I'd love to start a class action with these freaks which make eBaying such a nightmare (the "authorisation" process...
)
