Paypal Robbery

[BlueSoup]

Hmm, Blue I did not get an email from you that I can find but by what's been listed (email address used and the date given) I should fall under the need to file column.

On a paypal related note, you cannot stop a payment from clearing even by calling.  However, it's great fun to go off on a tangent when they insist on wanting to know why you would want to to begin with.

If you PM me your name, I can tell you for sure whether you're affected or not when I get home this afternoon.

It's a bit grim.  Poor old Jack Woods after we sent money to a paypal account for him they wouldn't let him have it cos he didn't have a home.

That's frankly appalling.  Did he appeal to paypal?

Blue,

I received your e-mail and did as you told me only hope I completed it correctly since I've never filed a dispute or claim before.

My only worry was getting anyone into trouble by filing the claim even if Pescado does deserve to be whacked on the bonce (head) with his parrot!

I got an e-mail back from them saying they were looking into the matter.

Also I re-sent same amount to your address.  Let me know if I messed up somewhere along the line. :?

[BlueSoup]

No, you're not going to get anyone in trouble.

And please, people, only file for a dispute if I emailed you.  Immediately escalate it to a claim.  Then you have a 7-day wait to get your money back from Paypal.

Also, if anyone wants to donate any funds (I know we're asking a lot) the donation drive is still on, only we're using a real, verifiable person behind the server purchase this time.

We currently have $1600.  We need $2100.

Well, I am surprised it took two lessons to learn it!

[BlueSoup]

Since when does Pescado ever listen to anyone else?

We need only $300 more.

I would like to donate again, but won't be able to until paypal gives me my money.  I will redirect the money when this happens.

 I waited yesterday for them to answer my email, they never did. So I just now filed claim, and dispute. Hope i did it right .

i just rad the email they sent me confirming it look at this part:
We will make every effort to resolve this claim within 30 days although we
may require additional time to complete our investigation.

Our investigation will be made on a best-effort basis and PayPal cannot
guarantee funds recovery. For more information about how PayPal
investigates complaints, please review the User Agreement.

Sincerely,

PayPal

In other words if we didnt know what was going on from Pescados end, Paypal whos holding the money, could claim they couldnt recover it.  So they could be bilking all sorts of people out of their money. Corporate thievery!

[BlueSoup]

Hrm.  I hope you get it back, Soup Parrot.

Anyhow, server company paid.  Thank you all for your donations.  Pescado and I and the rest of us muchly appreciate it.
