Is paypal a monster?

Your friend may have violated terms or conditions. Liek he may have changed certain information to suit himself. Paypal is very profession. I wont believe they owed 200$ and did not pay. They have serveral million cuctomers. They wont play such cheap games for 200$. May be your friend is hiding something.

This has never happened to me, but I have heard that if Paypal suspects or doesn't trust the source that you're getting your money from, they will freeze you. Same goes for if they suspect you of wrongdoings. You're allowed to transfer up to $500 from your paypal account into the bank account that you have it linked with per month. This way you don't have to keep all your money in your paypal account. If you do get your account frozen, though, you can just call them and get it straightened out. Sometimes all they need is to check you out through a landline phone.

Paypal is good. I have no problem with them. I have withdrawn money and had no problems. But for Indians you can't transfer money to your Bank account from your paypal account. You can ask for withdrawal after paying USD 5. They will send a check in INR to your address within approx 2-3 weeks.

IS IT REALLY..I M TOO SCARED AND I M HAVING ..SAME NEARLY $20 IN A/C.THANKS FOR THAT INFORMATION.I WUD ALSO MUST KNOW THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS..

I dunno, many ppl don't like paypal. But I really need paypal to buy something on ebay

Yes, you can trasnfer your money to a bank account or request a check for a $1.50 fee from Paypal. I have never had any trouble from them at all.

I have been a member of PayPal for 3 years now and I haven't had a problem. I keep my money in there until I am ready to transfer and they do not touch it. I had a hacker get into my paypal account and within 2 hours paypal had it resolved and put the money back and re did all my security stuff. Don't violate their terms and your money should be just fine.

Wow this is really disappointing to hear! I've never had a problem with paypal but have only been a member for 3 months as I didn't sign up until joining mylot. I always tranfer my money from my paypal account to my actual bank account, have you considered doing this? Atleast this way you don't have cash sitting there if you don't trust them..

I use paypal but only for lack of anything else. I hate paypal. They have ripped me off more than once, but so many places only pay via paypal or they charge you to write a check. Beware of paypal. Just cash out or request your money every other month or so.

hmm much better u use egold did you have egold account? you can sign up in http://www.e-gold.com/e-gold.asp?cid=3082082 thanks ;-) see u

i been usng paypal for over 4 years and no problems, if you don't know how to take care of it or don't ttreat it well it will bite you and it happens like that in real life.

To avoid further damaged of unforseen circumstances with paypal in the future, you'd better use egold account as suggested by mylot. It's free and I do believe that a lot of independent exchanger around you there for exchange service.

I have been a pay pal member for a while. The only time I have heard of them freezing an account was for something against their guidelines. If you use it to fund egold you will have problem use it for lottery type of activities you will have problems.

well yesterday i tried to open an account at paypal. They need my credit card or like that. Is it a fraud account like any other i doubt.without pay pal account how we can get money. otherwise i may stop coming to my loto

No, you use it so you can send and recieve money.

Any instance I seen or heard of Paypal freezing an account was because the owner has done something to cause the freeze, whether that be illegal funds, or something that triggered paypal to his account....they don't freeze accounts for no reason, if you are following the terms paypal has set forth you will have no trouble, and your account will not get frozen. I have been dealing with Paypal for over 5 years and have received and sent money to ever corner of the world that is was accepted, and not once did I have a problem, they have stopped people from paying me before, only because the money the person was trying to send me was stolen from another account.

i hope is not happen with you,that paypal will freez your acount,if you scare probably you can change your payment account to e-gold,and regiter to www.e-gold.com for next payment.

Well I've been a member for many years, at least 5 plus years, and I have never had a problem. Just make sure that you read their terms of service and agreements, and as long as you aren't breaking any of them, you should be alright. Also, I've been a member of a few different online processors over the years- egold and stormpay specifically- that have been nothing but trouble. I trust PayPal over all others. Jim

u need a credit card to encash ur money in paypal and i think it shud be from SB accnt... i'm not so sure abt tht though

I don't think so. Every one and thing has supporters and opponents. Paypal may have some defects, but it's not that bad. If it is a monster or some sort of devil swallowing users' money, why are there so many people using it? r they all idiots or something? Maybe u're just much too nervous.
