Paypal, The Christmas Grinch

Archive: 6 posts


Just thought I should let you know that apparently you can't use Paypal to give poor kids Christmas gifts, but they will still take their cut of the money.

This story is exploding over the interwebs, and this is my small attempt to help that. So yeah. Boycott Paypal? :/

Can I just say that, that is shocking. I find it difficult to see that PAYPAL would be so greedy to effectively steal from poor children. I believe that PAYPAL should be boycotted but during Christmas time I think that it will still get used to buy presents from shifty websites.2011-12-06 17:32:00

"WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH IT."

Lawdy, that was a horrible customer service lady. xD I actually don't think this was so much the entire company's fault (although I'm not saying they didn't have ANYTHING to do with it...) as it was that one lady's fault. She was being a total ***.
Apparently they got over it though- they released his funds and are making a donation. Least they could do, really.

That's really nice of PayPal.

" We are happy to offer you $100 donations to each of the 200 families you were planning to support this holiday season. I hope this helps to ease the stress and inconvenience our error has caused. I want you to know that we?re all sincerely sorry for this mistake".

No really!!!

Paypal is sincerely sorry for making the mistake of trying to rip off someone who stood up for themselves.
Paypal is even more sorry that now they have to cough up some cash to save face.
Okay, I'm being cynical at christmas time. But that's only based on my worldly life experience
