This pretty accurately describes my latest experiences with Paypal
My current, active paypal account got limited. Why? Because they linked it with my old account from 3 or 4 years ago. There hasn't been any activity on that account in 3 years. It has 37 cents in it.
And now I have to cancel the > 2,000 dollars in ebay auctions I have going on right now, wait 45 ******* days to get my money into the bank account and I can't do jack **** about it.
I really wish there was a ******* alternative to paypal, but it's really out on it's own.

I was ripped off by PayPal and some dude in Florida when I sold my first BEGi turbo kit. My partial refund ($200) bounced because PayPal tried to access my OLD bank account. So, guy in Florida filed a dispute for not getting a refund. I called PayPal multiple times trying to arrange for refund to be sent through a correct bank account but they told me that the only thing they can do is refund the buyer in FULL (which they actually did few days later; ) full amount being MORE THEN TWO AND A HALF ******* THOUSAND. So, the guy got a free turbo kit... I actually arranged with him that he will send the payment again minus what I needed to refund but he told me to **** myself right after he got his money back from PayPal.

if someone was smart they'd make a system exactly like paypal but that does no "mediation" and only have a flat fee per transaction.
or if banks were just smart enough to evolve to support online transactions.

PayPal is about as bad as I could imagine a company of that size being. It's like they make **** so complicated just so you **** up and they can in return **** you every chance they get. For a transaction here or there, it's not too bad, but god forbid you make several a week, or even day. they have a monopoly and need an alternative to step up and kick them in the nuts.

I was that buyer and its called paypal buyer protection for this reason. I paid in full and you didnt hold your end of the deal. You didnt ship a bov, intercooler, or the mspnp. I offered to settle for a $500 difference (even though I shouldve asked for more) and thats what bounced. Then because of that paypal refunded me the maximum allowed by their rules.
Because of this transaction I closed my ebay and paypal accounts. I would suggest anyone to do the same. It is a shady business and they have all the power and you have none.
I bought from others on here at the same time and had no issues and really wish this never happened because I dont want this kind of reputation on here. But after my transaction with you I see that you still did the same thing to others later.

Well lets do a poll on here of how many people had trouble with dealing with Urbansoot or me.
Either way this happened well over a year ago and it took months to get the parts I did get and months to get the refund.
Every body can have their opinion but this deal has been over and done a long time ago. Just wanted to represent my side and if you had sent $2500 you wouldve done the same. I didnt publicly trash him and I am done with this ordeal.
