PAYPAL Help. PLEASE!!!

takuhii

Paypal have "regretfully" informed me that for every withdrawal I made last month (July), they submitted the payment twice, they are now demanding that I repay them for there mistake. Why should I foot the bill for there mistake, and is there any way I can get out of repaying them??

Someone please help!

Why should I foot the bill for there mistake

because it was a mistake?

Personally, I don't think you stand a chance.

But Good Luck - and fight to the death!

You could take all the money out of your account, delete your bank details etc to make it harder for them maybe? lol.

This has happened to a lot of people, paypal are a professional company (laugh) and surely they will sort out any accounts where people have lost money...?

Seriously, if they don't there will be a lot of peed off people. I think they'll sort it out.

So if a buyer pays you twice which happens quite a lot you would think it OK to keep the money?

Pay it back and don't be silly they made a mistake and have now discovered it.

Oh, I get it.

I suggest you put the money back in your account now, otherwise they'll take it and charge you for the privilege.

the problem is they took the money from peoples paypal accounts before telling them what was happening so people didnt have a clue whats going on.They have credited my bank account with a 2nd payment today and I have repaid it to my paypal account ,it will take 7-9 days to show up as paid meanwhile I cant use my paypal account as its still showing as having a negative balance.Luckily my sellers so far have been ok as I put a link to a big thread on the ebay forums so they can see I'm not lying ,Viv x

But you aren't "footing the bill for their mistake" its not costing you anything is it? You are just returning the money.

i got an email from paypal today stating that payments i had sent to sellers had been sent twice by mistake so they have corrected this and debited the correct amount back to my paypal account

obviously the person on the other end received the payment twice and so paypal have taken one back from them

I also had an email saying that Paypal had credited my bank account twice by mistake.
The odd thing was on 23/07/06 1 payment went in
on 5/8/06 email said they paid me twice so took the money back
on 7/8/06 the 2nd payment enters my account, 2 days after they have already refunded themselves.

Truly odd but it all works out, i think:rolleyes:

What bill have you encurred? Have you incurred any bank charges or had an invoice from ebay for some charges?

If you have incurred some legitamate cost then you could invoice ebay for this.

If you mean ebay want the money back that you wern't entitled to in the first place then I suggest you pay up because it doesn't belong to you.
