PayPal has a long shiny history of screwing people over and Venmo is now not only owned by PayPal but the app is hot garbage and gets worse with every update (probably due to the aforementioned ownership).
- Maursault 4y agoI use PayPal, not as heavily as I have in the past, but I have been scammed by about a dozen sellers, and in all cases, PayPal refunded my money. I've never heard of PayPal screwing over customers, only that it being owned by eBay is annoying because eBay gets two sets of fees on payments for sellers.
- pb7 4y agoI don't care enough to find the biggest stories over the last 15+ years but here are two articles from January 2022 referencing a class action lawsuit over freezing of funds without explanation: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/01/paypal-stole-users-money-after-freezing-seizing-funds-lawsuit-alleges/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/01/paypal-stole-use... https://www.engadget.com/paypal-lawsuit-freezing-customer-accounts-funds-073128563.html https://www.engadget.com/paypal-lawsuit-freezing-customer-ac... And to be clear, this is not an isolated event.
