Issue: Fraud or scam

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Dear PayPal Team, I am writing to express my disappointment and anger with your company regarding the recent limitation of my account. I have not received any clear reasons for why my account has been restricted, and the support teams seem to be composed of automated bots and clueless individuals who can not provide me with any meaningful answers. I have heard similar stories from many other people, and it appears that PayPal often holds funds for 180 days and then transfers them into their account. This is a great cause for concern, as I do not want this to happen to me. In order to clear things up, I would like to state that I have not purchased or sold anything illegal, and the only thing I have been doing is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite this, my account has still been limited. I look forward to hearing from you soon and receiving a reasonable explanation for why my account has been limited.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I received a debt collection letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX for a debt that does not exist. The letter stated that they were collecting a debt on behalf of PayPal. I know that I have no account in arrears with PayPal. I contacted PayPal customer service. They verified that not only do I not have debt in which they are attempting to collect, the account number provided by the debt collector does not exist in their system.

Issue: Managing, opening, or closing your mobile wallet account

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: The XXXX paid an auto claim payout to me thru XXXX in the amount of {$7600.00}. I was forced to open a venmo account to receive it. Venmo released {$4500.00} to me but then would release any more, and I needed {$5100.00} to pay for the vehicle replacement, which Id paid a {$600.00} deposit on. Over several days, phone calls, chats, and emails not once was I told to submit my ID or that my account was frozen for being in violation until yesterday. Upon receiving that I immediately submitted my ID. Today I received an email from XXXX thanking me for the ID but closing my account and keeping {$2900.00}. Im losing my car, half my insurance payout, {$60.00} @ deposit, and the final payout from my insurance company for failing to replace my vehicle within the 30 day timeline. Through no fault of my own. I have screenshots of everything.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: Hello. First of all, to summarize the details, I sold the product ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ) through PayPal - partner XXXX ', but the buyer filed a PayPal claim for absurd reasons, so I submitted a clarification to PayPal XXXX Of course, PayPal raised the hand of the seller and the dispute ended. Then the buyer filed a claim with the credit card company again, and the card company 's reckless refusal to pay ( I didn't hear anything from the credit card company, so I don't know what the credit card company is, PayPal only knows ) was robbed of my sales and goods. I will explain in detail with the detailed date and amount below. On XX/XX/XXXX, at PayPal 's partner XXXX XXXX, I sold the product to the buyer XXXX XXXX XXXX, and received a net XXXX USD. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent the product with a delivery fee of XXXX XXXX, and on XX/XX/XXXX, the delivery was completed and the buyer received the product. On XX/XX/XXXX, the buyer filed a claim with PayPal, saying he was not sure if the product was authentic, and the reason for this is ridiculous that there is a glue mark on the front toe of the shoe insoles and the front of the left foot insoles is XXXX4mm shorter than the right toe insole. Of course, it is not a part that can be seen by the naked eye or worn, and the buyer puts the cell phone inside the shoe and takes a video to show a picture of that part. For this reason, filing a Significantly Not As Described ( SNAD ) claim would be tantamount to filing a claim that the weight on both sides of the shoe is XXXX different, or that the number of left and right arms sewing stitch on the garment is different. I proved that the product was authentic by attaching the purchase details and receipt from a reliable shop to PayPal, and I also attached photos of the date and the buyer 's ID while packing and inspecting the product, proving that the product sold is a new product without any problems. PayPal accepted the evidence, but the buyer insisted on a refund, so PayPal will pay for the shipping fee so that there is no damage to the seller, so the seller will make a concession and ask for a refund after returning the product. Eventually, I accepted the return of the product and submitted the return address on XX/XX/XXXX, but the buyer did not enter the return tracking or take any action until XX/XX/XXXX, which resulted in the seller winning the claim. After that, when it didn't go as planned, the buyer filed a PayPal claim again ( the original terminated claim can not be filed again, but it was assumed that he called PayPal to force it ), but it was naturally ended again with the seller 's victory. Then, the buyer filed a dispute with the credit card company on XX/XX/XXXX, and I received no contact from the credit card company and only received a notification that decided to refuse payment on XX/XX/XXXX, acknowledging the buyer 's claim. PayPal recommends asking the National Police Agency because the credit card company is a high-ranking institution, so it is impossible to intervene ( PayPal says it is difficult to tell the seller what the credit card company is because it is buyers personal information ). it seems clear that there is a problem with the buyer, such as under screening to freeze the buyer 's PayPal account on PayPal or deleting negative feedback from grailed.com. Even when the buyer ignored PayPal 's request for return, the intention was clearly visible, but the credit card company 's reckless refusal to pay was damaged to seller. I'm requesting please CFPB checks the credit card company through PayPal, and return of my sales money. Thank you. Sincerely. Below is the information required for fact checking.
