That seems incredibly doubtful and highly illegal. I can’t imagine that happening without lawsuits being filed.

- justinclift 6y agoYep, clearly very illegal. It's kind of funny you say that too, as people have been saying that forever. eg "If they were so bad, stuff would have been done" (sic). Look at PayPal's reputation going back a decade or two, and you'll see there are tremendous amounts of stories about it. People used to set up dedicated websites collecting the copious horror stories. Not kidding about that, in any way. At the same time, there were multitudes of other people going "Oh, I've never had a problem with them, you must have done something wrong". (etc) They've cleaned up their image _a bit_, so things don't seem as obviously bad now (latest development aside). Back then though... sheesh...
- stanmancan 6y agoI avoid PayPal like the plague, but I would require some hard evidence to convince me that employees were regularly stealing users money.
- justinclift 6y agoNo idea if that's still the case (hopefully not), but it was widely known when they were a young company. It shouldn't take much effort to look into, if you actually care enough to investigate. :)
