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...

Paypal is so popular that it is pretty much my only choice but they are infuriating!!

Doesn't Google own PayPal?

Hey Missi~
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.
