Paypal complaints:

It's not bad enough they have a million dollar law suit that they lost but now they are not refunded paypal charges when you get riped off?

Paypal is getting really bad, I have a feeling as soon as a good company comes along they will be no more. Hopefully ebay will not go with them.


How sad that we U.S. residents can be "taken-in" by our good neighbors up north in Canada. I am refering to MP#PlayerStore.com in Montreal. I,
like many other bargain hunters used this website to find a great deal. Only AFTER my defective merchandise arrived, did I find the multiple complaint pages on the internet about this not-so-honest company. Listen up all you audiophiles and videophiles that think you will save a buck!
The merchandise you will get is mostly "gray", direct from China, in the
original cheap paper boxes. The inexpensive shipping to the USA from Canada is in the original cheap boxes, not double boxed by the company, and centainly not insured. MP3 does NOT check out the merchandise before it is sent to you, and so receiving it damaged is almost a given. MP3 does not care, as a matter of fact they prefer that you are not satisfied, because when you return it for refund, they will NOT give you the full amount even though they know it is damaged and not restockable! They merely send this defective merchandise to the next customer, and keep making the profit from restocking charges of 15%, without ever selling more than that one item. Great gimmick, and it works for them since the Canadian government does not shut them down. (Wish I didn't have a conscience, and could move to Canada to do the same, and make a lot of money!!!)
Did I mention, that you will NOT be able to get them on the phone, and
if you do, they will only refer you to the website which then gives you a phone number, which refers you to the website, and so it goes around.
By the way, when we here in lower America want to send an item back to Canada, we MUST declare it, and pay the duty as well (even on broken and defective merchandise) if the item is over $17. 00. The MP3 Store will refuse the shipment if you did not pay the duty. In addition, you should send the item insured and track it. What happened to the bargain price now??? Sounds like a bad joke, since even the USPS laughs when you tell them what you are doing.
Save your money folks, and buy US by paying a bit more, but getting what you want, instead of a headache, legal hassles, and a lot of lost time and money in the end. Above all, STAY AWAY FROM MP3PLAYERSTORE. COM (should read "dot CON").
I hope this information helps the next penny-pincher save some money
and frustration.

Paypal has frozen large accounts of their users for months sometimes for reasons the Paypal user can't control. Even though we have not had any issues with the companies we work with we hear horror stories about them way to often.

Complaint ::
If so here is my deal
I have a paypal account that was blocked by my usage. Their reason was I am connected to an account of another person who has issues with their account. This other account person has used my address in the past to have her items she purchased off ebay to my house as she lives in a apt. Since she has issues with paypal they blocked MY account. They requested all kinds of information which I gave them and now tell me that they will not unblock my account till this other girls account is cleared up. I Have NO control over her OR her account. Please help they are holding nearly 1500.00 Of my money. My paypal account is: Thepeanutshell@cox.net

It makes me very angry as I have MS and have in the past used my paypal for my meds online and I cant even do that now. This is so not right.
