I tried to claim a refund on a item that was delivered to a different address I never got my goods after so many emails...

They accept random pics from front doors even without asking for your own pic of your own. DON'T TRUST ANYMORE. Read more Read less

2 Weeks for Payment to Reflect in Available Credit

PayPal Credit • 18th February 2025

I escalated to customer service manager, and he said "it's in the terms and agreement," while mentioning the 48-72 is for it to reflect in... I escalated to customer service manager, and he said "it's in the terms and agreement," while mentioning the 48-72 is for it to reflect in balance, but not available credit. So, I am essentially loaning Paypal my money for 2 weeks. When I would ask a question, he would say "would you like me to send you the terms and agreement?" I explained, this occurred after making a payment of $3200 instead of my intended $320. I immediately realized my mistake and tried to cancel the payment when I received "system is currently having issues" message. When I logged out and went back in, I did not have the option to cancel. This is not how a credit card company works, and have never had this happen in over 30years of using credit cards. Do NOT look at Paypal Credit as anything like any kind of credit line or credit card you've ever used. They have things they need to fix. Buyer Beware! Read more Read less

    Poor account management

    Their system for managing payments is shockingly bad, very poorly managed. The misinformation on my account led to a missed payment, which thankfully was resolved,...

    I never have a problem with PayPal. I find it very easy to use on line, not so easy in the shops.
