Paypal issues

So many issues have been going on with my Paypal account. Grrrr... And I'm also pretty busy with my full time job that I can't seem to update this site. But somehow, I'm glad that these issues are popping up, they help me have a topic to write about in this blog. I just don't like it that everything is coming to my direction in bulk.

I suddenly pressed the Upgrade Button and now I changed my paypal account to a Premier one. Supposedly, it should have been alright. But when I checked my account twice, it showed that for every transaction I receive for being paid, they will take a certain amount from me.

I have to read through the guidelines and rules again the difference between a premier and a personal account. Since I don't use this account for business

I wish they have a toll free number to call so I can just contact them through skype or something. But it seems that I just have to email them regarding my concern to downgrade my premier to a personal account.

Upon checking out some forums online, here's a tip one can make in order to request the paypal people to downgrade your account.

1. Log in to your account.
2. Click the Help link.
3. Click the Contact Us link.
4. Under Help by Email click the Contact Customer Service link.
5. Select My Account Profile topic.
6. Select Downgrade Account in the subtopic box.
7. Enter your request for an account-type change.
8. Click Continue.

We'll see what happens.

Paypal account limited status

My account has been reduced to a LIMITED status.

Because of the previous issue I had with somebody hacking my paypal account, I've been undergoing a lot of changes to help boost the security. Ever since my paypal account got hacked, I received a number of precautionary measures to help keep my account more secure. One of which is to change my password to a stronger one. I was able to set-up two security questions as well.

The only thing I need to ensure now is to upload a file that has my proof of billing address. I'm planning to scan my credit card statement and upload it in their server which will serve as my proof of billing. I just hope they accept it.

Paypal responded to my dispute!

Paypal responded to my dispute!

I logged on to my personal email account and was glad to see a reply from Paypal. Last week, I sent a dispute request for an unauthorized claim that I sent money to a certain person when I didn't.

I received a reply from PayPal. Here's the response that I got from them.

Upon checking twice, I found out that I got my 76 bucks back! I'm relieved that after about a week's time, I got the 76 dollars that was sent to a certain email.
However, as they say, this is somewhat temporary only as they're still investigating the claim regarding the money that was sent. Hopefully everything will be okay.

But I know that I have a lot of issues surrounding this account. Will be updating you on what happened.
