I have been using Paypal since it came out. I am not trying to bash Paypal. I think it's awsome but has anyone here ever been screwed over by Paypal? I can't believe Paypal is doing this to me.
Last month a new guy on these forums by the name of "untouchable" posted an add about wanting an ecu. I replied back to his post and we figured things out. He sent me payment for the ecu and came to my house to pick it up. Everything was fine and life went on. Two weeks after the purchase I recieve an email from Paypal stating there was a temporary hold on the transaction between me and him. First thought was wtf is going on here. I replied back to Paypal's email answering all of their questions and some shit about seller protection. Then I send out an email to untouchable about this. His reply was that he didn't know what was going on and it must of been a mistake. Paypal will correct it within 48hrs. Ok I'll wait then. On comes a fucking week and still nothing. Send them another email. 2 more days later I recieve another email from Paypal stating the funds have been reversed and I am now in a negative balance. There was absolutely no explaination for this. The only response I got from them was that I was unable to provide tracking information. I am sort of lost to why this pertains to my situation. I guess because I did not have his address resulting in Paypal screwing me over?!? Why the fuck is this happening in the first place!? I sent out another email to untouchable. It's been a few days now and no repsonse yet. Anyway now I am out some money & negative & feels like I pretty much gave away my ecu and I don't think I will get neither back.
