As recent Victim of Paypal's shady practices i was able to reclaim my money back from paypal. If you are the paying side and your money are help by paypal for no reason, raise issue with paypal, and see if they help. If they provide fast and prompt refund, you are good, issue is resolved. Well this was not my case. I tried to buy goods for 600 dollars, offer to pay via paypal. Seller agreed. I made the payment, providing proof i paid. On the next day, seller told me he did no received the money. He sent me proof showing my payment to him as agreed being help by paypal. I raised issue with paypal, money was not returned to me or forwarded to seller. I tried to discuss this with paypal, communications was slow and difficult, every time i raised the issue, whatever support person contacted me, lied payment is successful, i presented proof payment was not successful i was transferred to new support, presented my case, again i was told a lie that payment is successful, not investigation of the case, nothing. Stalled. Obviously paypal thought i am stupid to believe a lie, without presenting proof to back it up, while i presented proof to back up my position. Well they thought the ycan postpone it until i give up or i forget about it. Well to their lack of luck i did not gave up and did not forget. After obviously help and support was on no use and no help in any way, i went to may bank, asking assistance, explaining my case, how money i held by paypal and i presented proof to my bank. this is the key here present proof to your bank to backup your story. bank will need this proof later. 2 or 3 weeks into bank's assistance i was surprised by communications from paypal stating that they received claims from my bank, for the money, but paypal had no idea what the claim is for. Another lie from paypal. They were really pushing me to cancel my claim. this is where i gained all evidence i have, all communications with paypal, all communications with seller, every little bit and piece i had, and presented it to my bank encouraging my bank to keep its effort and to use all of the material i provided. I replied to paypal i am not giving up, and i told paypal that i presented all i have, every little bit and piece to my bank and i encouraged my bank to keep the effort of reclaiming my money. It worked. I got notification from my bank my full amount of money is recovered from paypal. paypal tried to say they sent the money but another lie. That claim is inconsistent with what i saw in my banking app. banking app said: source: Claim/dispute, did not said paypal as sender. So to all you who sent money and your money is no hold by paypal, this is how i managed to reclaim my money so use this to reclaim your money, it worked for me, i sincerely wish it works for you, i sincerely hope it works for you. And remember always keep your communications with the other person and paypal, never discard it, never dismiss it, because it may seem insignificant to you, or paypal may lie to you it is not relevant, but it may prove what your bank or credit card company needs to make the final move and reclaim and recover your money for you. Be strong, be tough, and be relentless. If you are the receiving side, your course of action is to team up with sender and make joint effort, with sender. Once the sender gets him money make new sale and make the money transfer using alternative service other than paypal. The image below is sent to me from the seller, seeing i made the arranged payment, but he did not received the money, because the money is illegally seized by paypal and illegally kept on hold by paypal, which qualifies paypal as thieves. Well This is past now. i was able to reclaim my money from paypal, and i still made the same purchase and buy the same items from the same seller i paid in different way. In the middle of this big dispute, i simply removed all my data from paypal while i still had the chance, and i closed my accout wit them, while i still had the chance. I will never ever trust paypal, i will never ever use paypal, and never create new account.
