~old hag: I refuse to pay $** for a super simple question. Will call my local computer guy who will tell me FREE over the phone. Crappy service of paypal if you ask me.

~old hag: I'd give them a five out of five for ease of finding your way to help.

GetHuman: And what about PayPal's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~old hag: For that I would say three out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other PayPal customers?
