    So Frustrated!!!Warning: Rant. Calming words appreciated...
    I am going to burst with anger toward paypal! I believe I am a relatively level headed and calm individual but arggggggggggg Im so frustrated!! Paypal had screwed up payments and transactions with me several times now but this is the last straw. I was sent a refund from a buyer for the fujifilm s700 camera I purchased because he mis-calculated shipping and it was way higher than expected so I found the same camera here in Canada. But now paypal is throwing around my money somewhere in limbo!! I sent the payment 5 days ago and I received an email from paypal stating the refund will take 3-4 days so I called paypal.

    After waiting 30mins on a long distance phone call because there is no 1-800 number I spoke with a kind but bearly able to speak English young woman. She knew less about the transaction than I did. She then proceeded to tell me after several awkward minutes of her searching my account, that the refund will take approx 10 days because I am in Canada.

    So I asked what was up with the e-mail. She said it was for US customers and it was incorrect. What the heck!!? They should at least know I am in Canada, they have every bit of information about me possible!! After searching the site for somewhere to send a complaint, I discovered you cannot send complaint, simple as that. So now $200 of MY money will be out and about for 15 days, and me with no camera and minus $200. ARGGGG PAYPAL! I HATE YOU!!

    I dislike paypal alot too... But there are very few other alternatives out there.

    Google Checkout works, but no animal sales... :(

    Hey Missi~
    :rage: It's a giant drag when people don't give back our money...wonder if they're making interest on it too?
    I don't like PayPal at all and yet I have had to use a couple of times and more often then not there has been a glitch; their glitch. It's a drag. Do you have a credit card? That is my way around PayPal- I just pay by credit card and then pay the credit card back. I think I heard that Google own PayPal...maybe there is a grievance procedure through them... I'm so sorry that this has happened.... :(

    I bet they are making interest off of the money, I can almost guarantee it. I have considered paying directly with my visa but I have always been concerned about the private info going out without paypal. I hate them but I trust them.
