Problems with Paypal payment?

I have had multiple issues with PayPal payments not processing and eBay orders cancelling for no apparent reason. eBay & PayPal on the phone were useless. I expect to continue to encounter this periodically. Time to go back to the mall.

I have made hundreds of transactions via PayPal with NO problems!

Same here. PayPal has been great for me and any issues I’ve had have all all been resolved.

SAD BUT TRUE

It is disappointing that Agon has hitched themselves to the PayPal wagon.

PayPal is not a Merchant bank!!! They are a third party transaction broker that piggybacks off of real merchant banks and charges outrageous fees. So If the interchange rate - set by Merchant Banks - is averaged at 1.89% per transaction - Pay Pal will charge over 6% read the fine print..... They collect on both sides! I guess there are those who don't mind being overcharged.

They definitely have the marketing down and make it seem like everything is easy peasy - a one and done transaction system with all of these "Controls"  in place. They just want their money / fees.  That said they make up their policies as they go with no rhyme, reason or justification - also in the fine print..... 

About a year ago I attempted a transaction on Agon as a buyer through PayPal. They held up the deal citing that I needed to become a member and pay fees before allowing the transaction to go through. When I said I was not interested they refused to return my money. They bragged that they could keep my money indefinitely as they saw fit as per the fine print.

What they did not realize at the time is that I  had them on speaker phone with my bank JP Morgan Chase Fraud department. When the Chase rep chimed in and questioned their statements and the validity of what they were suggesting from a legal standpoint, Pay Pal asked who is this?. When Chase announced who they were, Pay Pal immediately hung up.My money was returned within 3 hours. Needless to say I never was able to make my purchase.

Six months later out of coincidence I met a C suite executive from Pay Pal regarding a possible business transaction with Pay Pal through the company I rep in my day job.  I told my story to this executive who vowed that a full investigation was going to made. Nothing happened.
 
What I have learned is that Pay Pal is  based out of Singapore so they are not held to any US banking regulatory laws. 

PayPal is subject to all US banking regulatory laws.  Why spread misinformation that may or may not have been received second or third hand?  I have held a PayPal business Debit Card for over 10 years and never had a problem using it for purchases, using it to take $$ out of my account via ATM or making purchases through my email account with PayPal.   I was even scammed as a buyer and all my money was returned to me within 24 hours. The fee they take from you is the same fee that Visa/MC/AMEX & Discover charge their merchants.  If you are selling something via PayPal, you are the merchant and pay the fee.  I bet that people with problems are in the vast minority.   Even your CC Companies aren’t perfect.
