Does anyone know of a better vendor than Paypal? I am about to go insane over the company.
I moved so dropped my bank account off Paypal to open a new account where I am now. B/c I had too much money in the account for an unverified account then, they put everything on hold and I can't touch over $2500 in funds in there. I can't send or receive anything. I got my new bank account, verified, but guess what, they need more proof or something. Next step is they want me to provide a BILL OF SALE of the last 5 items I sold. I sold on EBAY! How the **** do you get a bill of sale SIGNED by both the seller and buyer through Ebay? So then they decide that tracking numbers of each item will be enough proof.
Next step: I submit all 5 tracking numbers of the buyers' shipments. Since two of them were too long ago, it's no longer in the history so they couldn't verify. The other three went through but now they want proof that I owned the products. Well, I bought in cash at Wal-mart for each item and no longer have a receipt for them since it's been about two months. They then request the buyers' emails, Ebay usernames, and phone numbers. Luckily I did keep track of all those and I have FEEDBACK from each on Ebay. They say that's not enough proof that I am the account holder.
So evidently the fact that I have all the information from bank/checking accounts, Paypal password, social security number, feedback from buyers, tracking numbers for shipments, calling from the registered phone number, all information of parties involved, and everything they could think to ask me; my account is still on hold and I have to wait up to 72hrs more to contact me and then it may take up to 30 days before I have access to my money if everything goes smooth. WTF! Not to mention I had to wait on the phone almost an hour b/c they required me to call them.
Sorry for the rant but b/c I just moved and all, I'd rather not have over two grand cash that I can't touch!
