PayPal has changed a lot. Back when my parents sold thousands of items on eBay, PayPal would screw them over many many times, and not just with disputes - PayPal often locked funds for months without cause.
It is fairly easy to find out what PayPal used to be like when Musk ran it - just ask some older eBay sellers.
- reaperducer 9y ago>PayPal often locked funds for months without cause. Not unique to PayPal. Deposit a check of an amount that's unusual for your "profile" at Chase and it'll sit on the money for three weeks.
- goldenkey 9y agoThat's just a check clearing. Paypal would lock entire account funds, payment clearance was not an issue.
- reaperducer 9y agoNo, it's beyond check clearing. The check clears in two days, but Chase still sits on it for a while as a matter of policy.
- paulie_a 9y agoPayPal really hasn't changed that much. They still pull the same bullshit and if they went out of business tomorrow the world of ecommerce would be a better place
