GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's PayPal customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~differentage: *** minutes* spoke to * people* wouldn't tell my why I was being blocked from using my bank account or credit card. Finally, deduced the VISA was up to the max because PP wouldn't let me use the bank account with $*,*** available. It is confirmed, verified, authenticated.....Day * of not being able to use bank account. Received a survey to complete post the ***-minute experience. Explained the frustration of not being able to use the bank account directly ---still not able to use it tonight. The first one told me "Sellers like echecks." I said, "They hate echecks* takes ** days to get their money." Money comes from my account immediatel (bank confirmed), PP keeps it for * days minimum, then gives it to sellers ---another way to get more profit, I say.**Greedy --- neither Ebay nor PayPal have sufficient staff.**What CUSTOMER SERVICE. There isn't any.
