I fucking HATE PayPal

The BBQ Pit

Right now, I fucking hate PayPal so much that I wish the whole fucking company could be wiped off this earth.

  1. They don’t recognise my new valid, legitimate Visa card, despite the fact that it works in any international country and on any other website

  2. They won’t let me cancel an old account that I could never validate because they never sent me the validation thing in a credit card receipt.

  3. They won’t let me remove this old credit card until it is validated, despite the fact that this credit card expired two years ago.

  4. They won’t enable me to validate a new account, because the link in the email does not work. If I copy and paste it, it still does not work.

  5. I cannot contact them to make a complaint, because when I fill in the web form, and send, it goes to a “page no longer exists”.

Words cannot express how much I hate this shitty dump fuck of a bigoted crappy company and wish it would no longer exist.

They are hardasses.

From the terms and agreement:

Also, there’s an “anti paypal” website at www.paypalsucks.com

Good luck.

Thanks! I will visit that website.

They’re probably not bigoted - but it is bloody irritating that they do not recognise my Visa card because of the country of issue, despite the fact that Visa is an international money service, and Visa obviously recognises my bank and country.

Maybe PayPal is just overly cautious, but given they have an increasing monopoly in online payment systems, it creates a huge global division if some countries can’t use PayPal while others can. It’s a really backward step, when you have something like Visa that has for a long time recognised most countries in the world, being effectively blocked by a little jumpstart dotcom like PayPal. Ie: what gives PayPal the goddamn right to reject my card when Visa is happy with it?

It was hell getting validated the first time around, and the problem was eventually solved by a phone call to the US - made longer by the fact that the PayPal operator had trouble understanding my Aussie accent. Then I changed credit cards and didn’t bother validating that one since it proved to be even more difficult and I had $1000 plus eBay money to spend. Everything was fine until one or two years later when I next used PayPal, and they wouldn’t let me send the $150 surplus that was in my account.

PayPal kept asking me to confirm my Visa card by providing them with details from a second credit card which I didn’t have. I had one irritated seller on my hands (although to be fair, she was a paranoid bitch - the payment was delayed by a week, I was in constant communication with her, and my 100% positive, 397 unique comments feedback kicked hers to the goddamn curb). I emailed PayPal about my problem, and thankfully they solved the problem by validating my card and increasing my sending limit. But I agree that PayPal doesn’t make it easy for international customers to validate their credit cards.
