~Rob's review of PayPal customer service
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.
~Rob: I was told my account was blocked though my credit card was fine. I was told the security module blocked the transaction because it was outside of my normal spending pattern. Fine. I speak to supervisor "Glen" who also says that there is no human being who can unblock the account once the system flags it. If this is true, then you have an awfully dumb system.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting PayPal. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a PayPal problem?
~Rob: I'd give them a three out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~Rob: I'd give them a two out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about PayPal's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~Rob: For that I would say five out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other PayPal customers?
~Rob: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for PayPal to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~Rob taken from his PayPal customer service problem that occurred on October 27th, 2017.
