Paypal---no longer taking Credit Cards?

roddydogs

My paypal a/c is locked, when i try to resolve it online, I just keep being re-directed to, "Fill in your Bank details" but I always have paid by CC., I dont want them to have Bank Details, is this a new condition?

Have you had payment issue on this account?

Have you just started selling on eBay? I found when I sold I had to pay for things directly from my bank account, when I stopped selling and removed bank details I had no problem using card for payments.

No problems whatsoever..........they ask for Bank deatails, then when you try to add tham, they say "You cant add another Bank A/c as you are in dispute type stuff the phone no is 7p pm, and you could be on hold for ages.

020 8605 3000 eBay UK main menu; select option 1 to be put through to PayPal (same as calling through 0870 number)

That's odd, I found quite a few entries (by putting paypal in the search box).

Im just going round in circles........Paypal say my a/c is locked because they need my bank details, but when i try to enter them, it says "We cant add another B/A as yours is locked.

They are very helpful on the phone and there are a couple of normal numbers available.

Paypal are as dodgy as a "legal" company can get, give them your bank details at your peril.............

I no longer use paypal in anyway at all, not even for ebay purchases, if a seller or indeed a website accept only paypal payments then more fool them I simply move on and find another seller or website that doesnt practice such silly things.

People in the UK have been literally brainwashed into thinking that Paypal are the only safe method of paying for anything over the internet, when in truth they are probably the most UNsafe payment processor on the net and if seller and websites only accept them exclusively then sorry they get no business from me, with most banks now offering faster payments it is a no brainer for buyer and seller to use this instead.

I use Google checkout an awful lot and they are infinately better than paypal in every way, the only reason they were not allowed on Ebay is because Paypal 5h*t themselves knowing people would leave them in the thousands to trade with Google instead, I have been a Google checkout account holder as a merchant and a seller for around 2 years now and in all that time I have never had 1 single issue with them, before this I had to start small claims proceeding against paypal to get my own money back off them they are a law unto themselves and anyone that hands over full control of their finances to them are asking for trouble.

Do yourself a favour change the password to something random on the account and then forget all abut it, never log into it again and never use them again, mark my words paypal and ebay are in for a huge fall soon they have a similar monopoly to Microsoft and Bill Gates was made to pay and so will these fools, cant wait personally I would love to see them banned from any kind of business activity in the UK fingers crossed.............................

Sorry about the rant as you can see I have some very strong feelings about the legal thieves paypal!!

yeah paypoo are FAIL.
i sold a nokia 5800 on ebay.
woman recieved it and left feedback and i spend money.
30 days later stupid woman reclasimed through the CC company saying she didnt buy it, and it was someone else.

showed paypal my recorded delivery reciept and everything as well as feedback and she won in her favour.
emptied my bank of £150 so i was down £150 and a mobile phone.
just a shame the foriegner lived so far away from me.
i know she was a foreigner as i phoned her and also reported to police with the advice from the chief constable of NOT OUR PROBLEM SORT IT WITH PAYPAL.

i would certainly not use a CC on paypoo.
no trust with them at all and for the people who like paypoo. guess what? i LOVED paypal until what people said had happened to me.
when it happens to you, you will realise
