The “Horror Stories”

So, things looked great for PayPal. They had been recently bought by eBay, and everything was excellent for buyers and sellers alike.

However, within months, PayPal “horror” stories started emerging, mainly involving eBay as well. It all started in forums, but then websites like “About PayPal” and “PayPal Sucks” were released. These websites’ mainly purpose is to reveal all the problems people all around the world have experienced.

Just the “PayPal Sucks” forums have over 29747 topics related to people getting scammed, ripped off, or losing their money to PayPal. That means there are over 29747 people who lost their money: and that’s just those who decided to post their stories on the forum, and that’s just those who even know about the website.

There are stories of people being scammed off thousands of dollars (mainly eBay sellers, but other sellers as well), and even regular users whose account got limited/locked for no reason whatsoever.

And what’s worse is that, most of the time, PayPal refuses to help in any way.

You must be aware of the problems you’re facing as a PayPal user, whether you are a seller, and “eBayer”, or just a casual user.

So, I strongly recommend you take a look at the following websites:
