Disappointed
I thought i was doing the right thing using PayPal but put a claim in for a renewal subscription that they paid even though I evidenced that no renewal reminder was sent, as required. Also pointed them to loads and loads of reviews where tastecard are ripping people off and they just closed the case in favour of the big company. Obviously they work on the ethos that the big boys stick together and aren't interested in who is in the right.
Thieves
They are thieves. They have been holding a money transfer for more than two months. They keep telling you that they will find a solution in a few days, but they do nothing. They make communication extremely difficult — no emails, no phone numbers, only useless FAQ instructions that don’t help at all. I will delete my account and report them to a lawyer. They are thieves.
Link service not working!

Everything works until you withdraw
Everything works until you withdraw, then it's endless KYC, frozen fund, and zero help from support.
Hard to withdraw
Hey, I use to get my pay thru paypal because I am a Virtual Assistant, but now, I find it hard to withdraw my pay, happened to me thrice!! Don't think I will use paypal again.
Can't withdraw and no real help from support
PayPal used to be reliable, but now it’s a nightmare to withdraw money. They suddenly ask for multiple documents and “verification” only when you try to take your own funds out. Everything gets stuck for days, and support never gives a straight answer. It feels like they hold your money hostage with no accountability
I've been using paypal for a few months…
I've been using paypal for a few months now and honeslty I am not happy with almost everything. First, the transaction fee is way too much than with other platforms.
Money On Hold for NO REASON
They keep putting my money on-hold like three times without clear reasons. Made it so difficult to process and access to my own money. I hope they will improve its system to prevent this happening again.
Very disappointing and unreliable service.
I'm really disappointed with Paypal France my account was suddenly limited without a clear reason, and the support wasn't helpful. It used to be reliable, but lately, it's just been stressfull to use.
Never trust Paypal! I have lost a lot of money because of her cooperation with fraudulent companies.
On 06 April 2025, I realized that a company, called CDK LLC retired, on the same day, the amount of 26,99 EUR WITHOUT my authorization through my PayPal account, something I consider as a THEFT and a FRAUDULENT ACT .
I immediately, reported this incident to PayPal through my account because I was afraid of this fraudulent CDK LLC company. I request as well PayPal to force CDK LLC, which I do not know, to pay me back this amount ( of 26,99 EUR).
To my surprise, the next day, on Monday 07 April, I realized that this affair was closed !!!
I contacted the Paypal client service and after my explanations and the expression of my concerns, an employee assured me that it would do all the necessary actions in order to be vindicated. Unfortunately, PayPal did not do anything and mentioned that this case is closed !!!
THANKS TO MY BANK'S INTERVENTION, I was eventually compensated with the amount mentioned above. Howewer,I have had many other bad experiences with Paypal, which are very ancient. and I can't mention them anymore.
Quick response.👍🏻
Thank you Team PayPal your response to my recent request for assistance was far more impressive then the merchant Osmo ProVac l had been dealing with.
They have been in touch via email and reinstated the transaction with a tracking number.. this would mean another 7/15 day wait which l no longer want to commit too.
Paypal holds my funds in 7 consecutive…
Paypal holds my funds in 7 consecutive transactions on one of my client. That was very frustrating.
Increasingly becoming untrusted
Increasingly becoming untrusted, Blocked my account with no reasons, making it difficult to get my payments from my clients.
Complained regarding unauthorized…
Complained regarding unauthorized payments taken from my account , doubled up orders not of my making , worse bit is never received the orders that I paid for , and feel PayPal were not treating my complaint seriously nor investigating it at all , said could take up to 28 days but replied to me in less than 28 minutes, if they had contacted the sellers which they didn't , they would know my complaint is genuine when this is resolved , that's if PayPal have the decency to investigate properly , I will be cancelling my account and taking this to trading standards as there seems to me this company does what it likes and takes no responsibility , this leaves me very much out of pocket and as an oap I do not take it kindly to being brushed off , I wonder how many others have lost money because of there lack of investigation.
Used Paypal but their buyer protection completely failed me
The seller, a scam company from China, sent the wrong size instead of medium size. They refused a return unless I paid about $30 for shipping and instead offered a useless 40% refund. Now, they're harassing me for payment, and Paypal RELEASED the funds despite my dispute. It's disappointing that Paypal supports such fraudulent sellers.
Poor Support
I purchased a product online, but instead of 10$ I got charged 20$. I tried contacting the support, but they are not active and are not helping me regarding the issue.
Permanently blocked my account
Permanently blocked my account. Provided no opportunity to review the blockage. Made up untrue reasons for the blockage. Quite a dishonest and untrustworthy company. Avoid them like the plague with your transactions.
KYC was frustrating
Takes time to withdraw, and the chat support takes time to respond and Only KYC when you are withdrawing, there are a lot of question and personal documents need
I use PayPal for a long time
I use PayPal for a long time, however recently I found out that this platform is easily to be used by fraudulent activities because they lack of security verification.
Can’t Even Get My Own Money Out!
Honestly so annoying, tried to withdraw and they suddenly asked for tons of documents. I sent everything and still nothing’s moving. Support barely replies, and it feels like they’re just holding my money for no reason. Really lost my trust in them after this.
