		<description>Just an FYI, transferring money out of the PayPal account isn’t going to help. When your balance is negative (like in the author’s case) they do a pull on your linked checking account.</description>

		<description>To Ryan:

"PayPal can’t take money from your bank account or credit card without your permission"

yes they can, at the time they did this we didn't had 250€ in our Paypal account and they just took it from our bank account.

we had to cancel our credit card and bank account that was related to the Paypal account

they do what they want</description>

		<description>Something like that has just happened with our online store. They claimed that our client made a complaint but he never did. So they took the 250€ of the order and gave it away to our client. Why? Because with that they earn sale fee and chargeback fee. So our client at some point had the products and all the money, but he was a very honest person and he made us a Bank Transfer. Paypal kept sending us e-mails saying that this was due to a complaint, even after I told them that my client and his bank didn't do any complaint. If he had done a complaint he would never make us a bank transfer. So Paypal was lying all the time.

Paypal is a total fraud. They have stolen us more than 20€. Not about the money, even if it was 1€ it would be theft anyway and we would feel the same lack of trust in them.

I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. Paypal can work with buyers, but does not give any security to a seller.</description>

		<description>I felt sorry for your lost, you already wasted your time just to finish the 'bad guy' jobs and you've got nothing except teardrops and anger.

My website accepting payment with credit card through PayPal, but almost 80% income from my PayPal account are suffer from the chargeback. It looks like PayPal buyers can always make a claim even the transaction was made more than 1 month ago, so for someone who's provide services, obviously PayPal is the worst scenario. You should consider another payment method.
I use https://www.moneybookers.com to accept some payment through wire transfer beside PayPal and i'm very satisfied with their services. I've never get a chargeback and it's very easy to withdraw our money.
Although it's difficult to get approvement if you want to uses Moneybookers credit card payment service (Moneybookers approvement for wire transfer almost instantly), but once you get approved, you will never get any chargebacks.

Oh, you probably should create a new article and list all the 'bad guy' website domains and e-mail addresses, at least we know that their website was built by sucking the freelancer tears.</description>
