the following is from paypalsucks.com paypalsucks.com
Electronic Fund Transfer Rights and Error Resolution

If PayPal freezes your funds use the
paypal complaint form that is governed by law.

The only way to guarantee a FAST response from PayPal,
is by using the form on this page.

http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_efunds-outside

Click on the this report form
link and follow the screen prompts.

Using that form puts PayPal on official notice that
you are filing a "EFT error"
complaint under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA).
The error being "they WON'T allow you to
have access to your funds".

When PayPal receives your notice, it is required by
law as outlined HERE How Do I Correct Errors?

http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/consumerhdbk/electronic.htm#errors

PayPal may take up to 45 days to investigate your
complaint or question and if they decide to do this, they are supposed to
provisionally re-credit your Account within 10 days, for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes them to complete their investigation.

If PayPal finds that it made an error, it has one business day in which to correct it as outlined here http://www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/rules/6500-3100.html#6500205.11


Look Under

(c) Time limits and extent of investigation--(1)

If PayPal determines that there was no error,

(i.e. they still claim your account is "linked" to

another account who they "claim" owes them money

and WILL NOT unfreeze your account)

PayPal is supposed to send you a written explanation and
you may ask that PayPal
provide you with copies of all documentation
it used in support of its findings.
(copies of the documents that they used in their investigation).
By law, PayPal is supposed to provide you with these documents.


If PayPal fails to follow the requirements of the EFT Act,
the law allows you to sue for damages as outlined here http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/consumerhdbk/complaint.htm#penalties

NOTE: This is for US accounts:
READ PP's
Electronic Fund Transfer Rights and Error Resolution
policy located at PayPal's website for specifics
if you are a new account holder or outside the US.

Also PP is bound by the both the California and Federal
FDCPA (Fair Debt Collections Practice Act)
The point of telling you people to file under paypal's newly revised
Electronic Fund Transfer Rights and Error Resolution process
is that this will not only guarantee a FAST and "official" response from PayPal.

It will provide you with documented evidence of the situation from paypal.

Folks I'm telling you.
USE the PP Electronic Fund Transfer Rights and Error Resolution
policy / process.

You want an OFFICIAL PAPER TRAIL from paypal.
You want OFFICIAL PP DOCUMENTATION on this matter.

Not hearsay over the phone or in an email from them that can be altered or denied at a later date.

You want paypal to officially tell you (in writing)
that YOUR ACCOUNT IS FROZEN BECAUSE "WE AT PP,
THINK YOU ARE SOMEONE ELSE", OR "SOMEONE
YOU KNOW OWES US MONEY, SO WE ARE
HOLDING YOUR FUNDS UNTIL YOU GET THEM TO PAY UP".

You want PAYPAL TO PROVE THESE CLAIMS.
You want this ERROR that you can NOT
complete and "electronic funds transfer" from your paypal
account to your bank account because pp will not let you.
(Because of them believing you are someone else or
someone you know owes them money)..

You want this ERROR CORRECTED IN A TIMELY MANOR
(10 days to PROVE THIS ERROR is NOT an error or PROVE their claim).

If they can't "officially" PROVE their is NOT in error
on their part.

YOU WANT PP to grant you access to your money and allow you to
TRANSFER YOUR MONEY "ELECTRONICALLY" TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
on day 11 after you OFFICIALLY NOTIFY THEM OF THE "ERROR".

I'm telling you people.

You want to follow this NEW and court ordered
revision in PP's Electronic Fund Transfer Rights and Error Resolution
process.. and you want to DO IT immediately
after finding out your account is limited, frozen or otherwise in
a state where you can NOT COMPLETE AN ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER
from your pp account to your bank account.

YOU WANT THIS IN WRITING AND YOU WANT TO SEND YOUR OFFICIAL
NOTIFICATION OF THEIR "ERROR" TO THEM IN
WRITING and USE THE ONLINE FORM AS WELL.
Write to:
PayPal
Attn: Error Resolution Department
P.O. Box 45950 Omaha
NE 68145-0950

AND YOU MUST USE CERTIFIED RETURN RECEIPT MAIL TO DO SO.
So YOU can "PROVE" they received your official complaint of the error.

The day they receive your complaint, the clock starts ticking.
10 days later (even if they state "IN WRITING" that they need more time to "investigate".

They are supposed to provisionally credit your account back on day 11
and allow you access to your funds.

If on day 10 (or sooner) if they say "we goofed up".
On day 11 you should have your account fully operational and be able to
make an EFT to your bank account.

If they say "NO we did not goof".

THEY ARE TO SUPPLY YOU "IN WRITING" the explanation (and also hard copies)
of ALL the evidence they used to determine that the ERROR
(of them NOT allowing you access to your funds) is indeed NOT an error.

NOTE: If you receive an official (in writing) "NO we did not goof" letter
and the do NOT supply you with ALL the evidence they used to make that determination
in that official (in writing) notice.

Send a second letter to:
PayPal
Attn: Error Resolution Department
P.O. Box 45950 Omaha
NE 68145-0950
(CERTIFIED RETURN RECEIPT MAIL)

and demand ALL the evidence they used to make that determination.

That documented evidence should PROVE that
them denying you access to your funds is NOT an error.

If when you get this information and it does NOT PROVE their claim.
You have them by the balls
and now have EVIDENCE to take it further to an attorney
or if your savvy enough to file a case
against them in a court of LAW.

Sure post it anywhere you want.

You know what's interesting?
Not sandy the nurse sam and all their "other" ID's or any of the other pp suckers,
have mentioned it once to a person who needs some "resolution".

Even Amanda from pp came out and posted to a thread earlier today.
No mention to the effected party of the ERROR RESOLUTION PROCESS.

Think about it a minute.
You go to your banks ATM or try to complete an online
transfer to another one of your other accounts.

The bank software does not let you.

What is the first thing you do?
Get with the bank and they will either fix the problem immediately
or tell you to file a form and disclose your rights under the EFTA.

Now look at the pp suckers.
They obfuscate the issue and refer you to nothing.
Even Amanda told the poster to make a "phone call" to the
resolutions department. She didn't advise the poster to file the "official" claim form.

What they DON"T want you to do is file the "official" claim form
so you get something in writing back from them
because they KNOW once you do they MUST respond with-in ten days
of receipt of your claim and they MUST either PROVE their BS
linking claim or give you access to your money.

What they DON'T want people to realize is that YOU DO have rights under the EFTA.

PayPal is obviously NOT disclosing to folks who have an account frozen
of their rights to have the issue resolved quickly and that paypal is under the
guides of the EFTA to do so.

Them not disclosing your rights under EFTA UP FRONT in their "resolution process"
or with first contact with an affected party is probably a violation of the law as well.

I'm telling you . These crooks are worst than any company I've ever seen in history
and are worst than the mob. They only abide by the laws when made to do so.

That speaks volumes of their underhanded sneaky and illegal
practices as well as their unethical behavior.

It's no wonder people are leaving by the millions.

Wait till GBuy opens up.
If GBuy is what many are hoping, I think you will see not a
trickle but a huge surge of online sellers switching to GBuy
virtually overnight.

Remember we live in the electronic age and with these computers
literally MILLIONS can sign up and start using the service in a
matter of hours not months or years like the pp suckers think.

Speaking of the pp suckers. I can picture them all on their knees sucking
hard on pp's pp and lapping it up 24/7.

Talk about your corporate sluts.
That is all they are and should be treated as such.

Yep noticed how he ran with his tail between his legs on that thread
yesterday after someone posted the screen shots of the ORDER PP
is to follow when dealing with frozen accounts?

This idiot has never worked in law enforcement.

If he did he was one of those cops that
was on the take, just like he is now.

I did see where he and another SHILL was going after PSA for a slight mistake.

These guys have so little to work with
that IF they EVER find a i not dotted a t not crossed...
they blow it up so out of proportion.

It's so rare they get to be right so even the most minuscule
item sends them into some sort of "beating on the chest look at me I so right" frenzy.

Watch it sometimes. It's really comical.

eBay Class Action Lawsuit
Date Filed: April 23, 2007
Court: U.S. District Court
Location: San Jose, Ca

Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro has filed a class action complaint against online auction giant eBay, claiming the company has acted through abusive methods to maintain its monopoly in the online auction market.

The suit focuses on a violation of the Sherman Act alleging eBay has used illegal tie-in and steering practices to remain the number one online auction site. It is estimated that eBay controls in excess of 90 percent of the online auction market to date.

According to the complaint the named plaintiffs and other users of eBay are forced to pay higher fees as a result of eBay's practices. Both plaintiffs, who are active sellers on the site, claim eBay's tie-ins with PayPal and Verisign have led to higher credit card fees that must be paid to eBay or PayPal. These fees are artificially inflated and used to help eBay maintain its dominance over the online auction business.

If you believe you have been affected by eBay's billing and anticompetitive actions please click here to sign-up for this case. HBSS will treat all information as confidential.


Recent Developments:

May 7, 2007 - Today U.S. District Court Judge Jeremy Fogel granted HBSS co-lead counsel in the case against eBay, Inc.

Here it is folks.

If you suspect the use of undisclosed paid-word-of-mouth endorsers acting on behalf of unscrupulous entities such as ebaY or paypal, this is the process.

The complaint assistance page is here.

The phone number is 1-877-FTC-HELP

The new(ish) FTC disclosure guidelines page is here.

Here is the full Revised Endorsement Guides (pdf direct download)

Also save this info for other eb-pp related issues such as being billed for 'free' listings, cheated on invoices, victim of 'glitches', time duaration, etc.

They won't act on single cases but rest assured they will act if complaints are received by enough people. So don't be shy. If you feel you've been cheated and or decieved, complain, complain, complain!
