    Based on the 2 class actions statements, it seems clear that Paypal has all right to do what they do. In the end, of course they cannot keep the funds unless someone has CB or fines.

    These attorneys will discover that they wasted not only their time, their customers’ time but their money as I would bet they will not get one penny out of how the suit is argued.

    Problem problem its been going on for years why its not been resolved?
    well every lawsuit filed against paypal has been settled out of court thats why.They just pay good money to the lawsuit filing company Lawyers get a good chunk out of it and they keep on rolling.LOL welcome to America.
    How can it be resolved?
    well the only way it will be resolved is if the company get investigated by the federal government which is unlikely “hurts the economy” i can go on for hours about this but no use really.

    Paypal is currently holding funds and not even allowing me to quit their service. If they have an issue with my home address or whatever, isn’t that for my bank to deal with.afterall, I am sending it back to my account!
    When I call their number, they want me to enter on my keyboard a number 1
    well, I have to hang up in order to do that, they use voice recognition on the first level of responses, why can’t they continue? why?, cuz they don’t want to loosen up money they can use to make more money. If you want to start another suit, count me in. Jennifer

    Paypal is also holding my money, i have shipped the items, and paypal just keeps the funds, they are not a bank, cannot wait to close my account and take my business else where, would be nice if paygay and egay were both shut down, their dishonest and crooked people.

    PayPal recently hold my money and they are not release the money until I call them. Even though the packages have been delivered, but they did not release my fund. I want to get them sue, how do we join this Class Action Lawsuit. I am getting tired and sick of doing business with them. Why would we want to make them rich anyway? Without seller and buyer use their server, they are going to be shutdown soon. It would be better to have an alternative electronic payment to this beside PayPal, but since eBay and PayPal are bother and sister company, so they are really want to monopoly the whole e-auction and e-market.
    I would like to see a law office or group to get on this case and I will be one of the plaintiff to bring them to court.

    I’m not a small business or merchant – I’m a PayPal member who uses the account to occasionally buy/sell items on eBay. In the 12 years I’ve been a member of eBay and later PayPal, I’ve never had a negative review, complaint, etc. So imagine my surprise when they put a temporary hold on my account.

    I’m still in a back and forth fight with them, and nothing has been resolved, but you can read exerpts from their exact [completely nonsensical] emails on my blog: http://desperateforsomething.blogspot.com/2011/12/paypal-is-screwing-with-me-too-that.html

    They tried to ‘buy me off’… never did cash those checks… never found out what happened with my case either. Lucky for them the OTS no longer exists…
