PayPal is NOT Safe! by holosys – August 4, 2009 PayPal is NOT Safe

PayPal Review

Pros: Nothing good to say comes to my mind. Not only does PayPal refuse to reverse a fraudulent charge, but the people there are not even nice, putting me on hold for hours then disconnecting. In my opinion, PayPal as a company is ugly through and through.

Cons: Where shall I start? I just got burned by a fraudulent site that used PayPal to rip me off. They charged my MasterCard through PayPal, then would not let me log-in to use the service. PayPal refused to reverse the charge to my MasterCard account.
