This one from the World Money Laundering Report deals with Nigel's own dealings. *** PayPal - they deserve all they get PayPal's in trouble - and WMLR says its ID system is a shambles that allows it to retain users money that should be released. see more at: www.vortexcentrum.com Another good site with PayPal phone numbers is at: http://www.paypalwarning.com/ Many complaints revolve around individuals and businesses not getting their money back or having their accounts frozen with no apparent method of getting through. Many of you will remember my experience with CompAtlanta's Sid Mitchell's refusal to sell me a printer because I am a Canadian. I had paid for the printer and CompAtlanta sent a refund back through PayPal. It was credited to my account instantly although i see that it cost me some $11.00 Canadian in service charges or exchange rates or something. Hmm! maybe I should complain as well. If you want to see a picture of Sid Mitchell (and read the story) outside his store in Lawrenceville, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta as I understand it) click on: http://gwinnettdailyonline.com/GDP/archive/article80A5DD93588447D 4A97F60D4B2DE9724.asp This story made the rounds around the world with articles in magazines (Time for instance) and newspapers in at least 50 countries I have been able to find. The following is the one day record of the PayPal account on April 3, 2003. As you can see, $167.50 US cost me $251.69 but resulted in a refund of $240.48 two hours later.
