    I recently received an email from Paypal.us saying that I need to pay someone, but I don't remember placing that order. When I click on the link, I was redirected to paypal site (or it looks like it) but with a different URL. I think this is some kind of scam, beware of this. Make sure that it really is the site of Paypal before logging in.

    Might it be time to devote a forum to sorting out PayPal's high-handed treatment of users? I am specifically concerned with it's naturally cosy relationship with eBay.

    You always have the choice not to use paypal or ebay.

    Im not surprised they have a relationship arnt they owned by the same parent company?
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.

    On October 3, 2002, PayPal became a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay.

    So its no wonder they have a cosy relationship as the OP says.
