Bought a $350 generator two months ago and Paypal paid it even though all credit cards and bank info was expired. They want me to add a new bank account but won't let me and evidently they can't use the credit card I added. They keep sending same email and now are threatening something nonspecific. I think its entertaining after they locked my account cause Gunbroker and destroyed many businesses doing the same. I made an attempt to fix it but its their problem. AFAIK, there isn't a way to contact them when the lock account so enjoying the irony.
I don't know if they have my ss# so feeling very patient in trying to remedy this. Opinions? |

So you owe PayPal $350. Simple solution, call them and pay it.
Your post to me sounds like you are looking for justification to be a deadbeat. Don’t be a deadbeat 888-221-1161 |

Yea PP is stupid to deal with. I had a balance and they would not let me pay it unless I linked my bank accounts to their system.
I was lucky and actually found a way to pay them via my bank without linking shit to them. |

Ask them if they will take some 5.56 at current market value in lieu of cash.

I had a fraudulent charge on my PayPal that I never used. One time back in the very early days. Never looked into it since I don't use PayPal. Now they want me to pay it before my account can be used again. At the time, I had a 6 month period to dispute it but that came and went without me knowing. Not sure what to do.

If I owed somebody money, I would pay it, send a MO? Bank check?

I won't give PP my bank info, which means the end of listing on eBay. I'll cope.

They couldn't provide me with an account number so that I could pay with my bank. Called them and paid with a debit card, and closed the account |

Those cock suckers held 7.5k of my money for seven months.
I did not break their rules, and they did not allege that I did. They literally did it just to be dicks. |

So you knowingly “paid” for a generator using a PP account with no valid payment methods attached?
Pressure washer thread. |

[#15]
FYI Ebay just severed payment processing ties with PayPal. You don't have to use PP just inhouse with EBAY

[#16]
A fraudulent buyer on ebay backed out of a sale on an expensive item they bid and won, but ebay insisted on collecting about $150 in fees on the listing anyway, even though it didn't actually "sell". I shut my ebay account down and refused the fees, this was years and years ago.
It took them about 3 years but one day I started getting the nastiest collections phone calls, and that lasted over a year of unpleasant phone calls, until one day I got a reasonable debt collector on the phone who wasn't an asshole and I settled the debt for pennies on the dollar right over the phone. So yeah expect your debt to get sold to collections and they will annoy you non-stop |

Why is this even a question? You owe the money. You pay the money.

I just found out about the change, this purchase was for a inverter generator deal posted here. Only reason for PP was autofill. Didn't have an account at Wen, was tired and saw they took it and all fields were filled. Thought was gtg, weeks later started getting notices, tried to correct and could not.
My only reason for making this post was many, maybe thousands had to deal with a corrupt company that could shut a business down for whatever. Recently read some stuff that they went rambo mode, shut down lots of accounts and literally said, nothing you can do about it. Now they have a software issue which went to a peasant for a bit. Thats all folks. Same as Game Stop but this is their mistake. I'll let them pay for collection services before I pay, they deserve it. Not a moral situation, at best a legal one. Not looking for justifications to not pay, maybe just a bit. |

FUCK PAY SCAM
Don't pay them a dime... Even it out with all the money they've stolen in bogus account locks. I sold a motorcycle & they paid PP and I shipped it. Buyer signed for delivery & then claimed he never got it . Pay scam sent an email on friday & closed the dispute on Monday before I could respond. Reversed 5 grand out of my account & told me it was a closed matter. Local cops wouldn't do shit either. Fuck that co#k sucking company. They don't operate on the up & up. |

So what they will do is charge the old bank info, and if your still with the bank they will basically forward the charge through until it does withdraw from your account.
I found that out when I had my linked account expire. I sold a brand new game on eBay, the kid did a refund scam and even though I had proof he received a new game, they refunded his money and he got to keep my game. And since I had used the PayPal card to spend the money, they eventually charged my expired bank info, and it was eventually routed to the correct new account Sounds like you owe them, and better to fix it before you get fucked |

Current bank has done that with fraudulent charges. Cancelled debit and new numbers were tied to old so they allowed charges until I had a say. |

go to your pay pal account via your phone.
find "add cash at a store " find a store near you from thier list. go to that store generate a barcode --the store scans it you pay them and it gets added to your account in about 15 mins. You get a receipt and and they send you an email when it goes thru. You can add up to $500 a day. done. |

What you are telling everyone here is that you are a thief and you are okay with being a thief because “PayPal bad”. You know you owe PayPal money and you are okay not paying them what you owe. You didn’t have a problem with PayPal when you used them to make a purchase. PayPal even covered your purchase even though you didn’t have the funds in the account to cover that purchase. Now when PayPal has come looking for their money you are cooking up some moral justification to not pay your debt. Who’s really the bad person in this situation? You claim that you didn’t know your account info was expired or not valid. I don’t believe you because if the linked card, debit or credit card is expired it will not let the transaction go through. You had to have had your PayPal account linked directly to a bank account via an account number and routing number. There is no expiration for this. You have to select the account you want to use and you see it before you finish your purchase. You had to have used a bank account you knew was closed or no longer active to end up in the situation you claimed in your OP. |
