[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2628288, member: 13307"]I honestly think PayPal is trying to see what they can get away with. Either that, or they are having severe issues with their software coding. About a month ago, I had an eBay transaction (I sold a coin, so I am the seller in this scenario) where the buyer paid, I shipped the item, and later on that day PayPal refunded the buyer's payment in full. Coin are in the mail, I'm out the money, PayPal blames eBay, eBay blames PayPal, after five or six calls PayPal credited my account until they sorted the issue out. About two weeks later I received an generic email saying basically "something happened, and we're working on it." More recently, I've noticed the last two transactions I've paid for on eBay using PayPal have been processed as "Pay After Delivery" - an option I never selected, an option I didn't even know existed, and an option I do not care to use. But they've done it twice in a row, now. According to the PayPal CS rep I've spoken with, it is an option that has to be turned on to be used (I've never activated it) and should not have activated itself without my permission. They are currently "investigating" why it's started up. Do I expect them to explain why it's happened? No. But for me, this is now the second time I've had issues with PayPal doing things on its own without my permission, without my knowledge, and without any reasonable explanation. So that's two strikes.[/QUOTE]
