~SaraB'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.
~SaraB: Wow, so this was actually the best experience I've ever had calling customer service. It took about three minutes, including wait time, for PayPal to refund me $**.** in fees (I accidentally chose "Pay for goods or services" instead of "Pay family or friends"). The wait time was like a minute - I just kept pressing * as some of the other comments here suggested. The customer service rep was delightfully helpful. Seriously, I was shocked.
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?
~SaraB: 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?
~SaraB: I'd give them a five out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about PayPal's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~SaraB: For that I would say three out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other PayPal customers?
~SaraB: 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 ~SaraB taken from his PayPal customer service problem that occurred on November 18th, 2017.
