I do not know any case like that...! PayPal is one of the most popular online money transfer systems widely used for online auctions, pay to surf programs, e-books and purchase of  low value goods. It is now a part of the online auction website eBay. More details available at\n http://www.money-transfer.in/paypalindia.html

The debit card has to work as a credit card, too in order to work on paypal.  You can always just put in your bank account information instead since the money would be coming from the same place.  But then you have to wait for a bank statement to verify it (they deposit a random amount under a dollar, and you have to put in the right number), so it can take a while.\n\nI had that problem with my debit card and I found out that it was still listed at the bank with my old address, so they didn't match up.  Check and make sure your bank has your updated address and other info.

That's a great question.  They did the same thing to me.  I even sent them multiple emails inquiring about the situation but never received a response.  I had the ID for several years and had never had a problem before.

Never had any problems with Paypal personally. You should feel much more confident using Paypal than giving your information to some stranger - which is who you'd be buying from. Paypal offers insurance, and any fraudulent activity on your Paypal account is covered by Paypal and their largest shop - ebay. While it is possible that sometimes fraud and other unfortunate circumstances arise, you are probably better off with Paypal than without it.

Yes, I purchased a USB Flash Drive that was counterfeit. Because I received something I was not protected with Paypal or Ebay...they only help you if you received NOTHING! Ebay kicked her off, Paypal said sorry...so I filed a formal complaint the the Internet Crime Complaint Center at http://www.ic3.gov\nI also ran a search on the buyer to find out everything about her and contacted the Economic Crimes Division of her local Police Department and explained the situation to them...they accepted the case for criminal prosecution...it is still in the works. They have already obtained a search warrant for the Paypal and Ebay transaction records......sure sucks to mess with someone in law enforcement!!

Yes, you could have your identity stolen, your bank funds stolen, your credit ruined, etc. Never ever open Emails from people you don't know. If you didn't enter the lottery, you couldn't win it. It is dishonest and a scam. You may have lost everything. Notify your bank and your credit companies immediately. Report the scam to www.fraudwatchinternational.com

Yesterday a friend asked almost the same thing. He had £100 sitting in his PayPal acocunt for over two years.\n\nThere is an option to have PayPal direct your funds to a bank account. You just need your details.

If you have a checking account with a Visa/MC debit card, you can use that for address verification.\n\nAnd in defense of the picky eBay sellers... PayPal has something called "Seller Protection" which is a great feature, BUT it is only in effect when selling to a buyer with a validated address.

No, Paypal maintains your information for any (or all) Credit Cards, Debit Cards, and/or bank accounts you wish.  When Paying through PayPal, you simply select which saved form of payment you wish to use.  \n\nYou can of course remove your credit card information after each transaction if you so desire, and then you will have to add the information each time, but there is no requirement to do so.

Hi first you must check if the P.O. has been cashed by going to Post office Counters with the slip you should have with number etc. If the PO has been cashed you should report this to the police as (a) you have been a victim of fraud or (b) the PO has been stolen.If has not been cashed you will be due a repayment might take some time. Do this no matter how small the amount as these guys just change their seller name and rip off someone else. Then contact ebay to complain as they only care if they are getting bad publicity, tell them you are writing to your national press about this might just make them listen.

Change your password now, and remember in the future any emails like that in the future NEVER use the link in the email.  I have had them from Paypal, Ebay, HSBC and Halifax

Both paypal and ebay have ways of helping you with this.  You need to contact each of the respective groups at ebay and paypal to help you get this resolved.  I was cheated once on ebay and going through the process got me my money back and they even went after the seller to make sure this hadn't happened before.
