In my previous thread titled
I refused to disclose my annual income to PAYPAL and they froze
my funds !, I attempted to describe the sequence of events that led to my new PayPal account becoming permanently closed and funds of $302
becoming frozen for a minimum period of 180 days (6 months).
This farcical situation eventuated before even a single transaction with PayPal had been fully completed.
So, the situation at the end of that thread was that:
(1) a buyer that was completely unknown to me but also resident here in Australia, now was in complete possession (purchased through eBay auction) of
300 gms of silver valued at $310.
(2) PayPal had accepted the buyers $310 transfer ... then proceeded to take their "cut" of approximately $8
(3) PayPal then proceeded to terminate my new account and withhold the remaining $302, effectively preventing me from transferring it to my personal
bank account.
(4) despite multiple phone calls and emails from me requesting an explanation for PayPal's extraordinary actions, each one of my requests was
summarily refused and dismissed.
Not content to abide by what I can only describe as nothing more than blatant and clear-cut
CRIMINAL FRAUD perpetrated by PayPal, I decided to
make one more final effort to somehow resolve this situation.
I sent PayPal another email in which I expressed my utter dismay at the way they mishandled this episode and particularly stressed the complete and
total lack of empathy and non-existent communication that PayPal exhibited to myself ... a PayPal customer.
Here's the email I sent to PayPal (I had to break it into 3 parts to upload here) ...
You'd think that the above would have struck at the least, a small note of compassion from PayPal, and possibly opened up the opportunity for
dialogue to resolve the situation in a way beneficial to PayPal and myself.
Here's the response I received from PayPal to the above email that was basically asking for a bit of compassion, flexibility and communication on
their part:
Well, to put it crudely ... PayPal once again essentially told me to "lube up, bend over and smile ... as they shaft me long and hard" !
It's now abundantly and clearly obvious to me (and by now, should also be to you, too) that PayPal has become a company that simply doesn't give a
sh*t regarding it's customers and their needs and concerns. PayPal have demonstrated that "their way is the ONLY way" and if that doesn't sit too
well with a customer, then to friggin bad ! PayPal have now found a way to legalize
FRAUD ... and get clean away with it !
PayPal seems to have completely forgotten that the ONLY REASON THEY EXIST is because of people like myself ... their customers !
PAYPAL are now JUDGE, JURY & EXECUTIONER
