paypall moan

[strongy]

i always use paypall when shoping on ebay but re4cently its changed and takes ages for transactions to go thru.8 days and counting at the mo.
all of a sudden the percs of paypall have vanished,a cheque would be as quick

does anybody know why things have changed?

i think that if they keep the money a little longer they can get interest on it and when you consider it has 4 million+ users in the UK it adds up to alot of cash!

I would assume its security issues though as alot of banks have really tightened things up. Im with nationwide and its a bollox now, they have send this card reader device that you have to use with every online transaction. I guess if they would be a bit more careful and not lose so many of thier customers details we wouldnt be in this situation

I thought it was generally instant as long as you use a registered credit card or debit card?

It only takes 8 days etc if your bank isn't set up for funding so it uses something called an e cheque which takes about 4 years to clear!

Have you changed banks or something dude?

They did it to me on the last fire extinguisher order £2000 and they were citeing allsorts of crap excuses over 2 weeks to get the money :evil:

And the bank had been set up for months beforehand....

Once I threatened to contact there ombudsman the money was instantly transfered....

I try to avoid using them for reciepts unless its small amounts that will just sit their for me to spend on summit else...

the problems i have are with getting refunds.... £120 took 8 days to get to me from the sellers paypal account, and 5 days to transfer it to my bank. thats almost 2 weeks they had my money making interest for them :x

Just bought a clock and a Zig, and bloody Paypall descide now is the time to want me to verify the damn account :twisted: Im waiting for them to 'deposit 2 samll amounts in my account' ................I had this a few years ago and it never happened, so 5 phone calls later at my expense and eventually it was sorted, so frustrating!!!!!

Deep breath.............................

i have to say the Paypal phone support is excellent, even if it is in S.A. ( i hope vwhotwheels doesnt read ) as theres a slight language barrier, or maybe thats my thick 'culchie' accent
