What happened to me is so gross it would be funny if I was not loosing money.
I bought 3 G6 lite from PSXbox. For this I created a brand new paypal account and payed them using a credit card.
For unknown reasons, paypal decided that this transaction was 'suspicious' (I phoned them and they told me it was probably because I used an "electronic credit card")
Thus they have limited my account and they told PSXbox to send them the e-mails we had exchanged. They told psxbox that if they've sent the goods they should give paypal the tracking number. However psxbox has not sent them. But now Paypal has locked their account too! It seems that PSXbox cannot refund me because their account is locked! Now paypal wants we to send them a lot of personal information (bank account information, driver's licence, credit card information..)
Now that I've been screwed I searched on the web and found out that many many users had problems with paypal.
So paypal:
- Restricts my account for unknown reasons
- Does'nt even refund the charged credit card (well if they suspect something they should refund it, right?)
- Locks the vendor account!
- Asks for all sort of personal information (I'm almost sure this is perfectly illegal)
Now I've sent them the information by fax and I'm waiting. But according to other forums on the net, I'll probably never get anything back, so I'm probably going to ask my Bank to cancel my credit card and cancel this operation.
