TShe's asked PayPal for information, but it's been since the 14th and they haven't responded to her. She said I am the last person she needs to refund. If that's the case, they would not have given the money to anyone else. Can PayPal just go into your bank account and withdraw money? This seems strange to me. Although I have heard some bad things about PayPal recently. Has anyone ever had that happen? |
When people have paid me with a credit card or by instant transfer from a bank account the funds were transferred immediately from them to me. When people have paid me using an e-check, it needed a few days to clear. It shows up on my account as uncleared. When the check does clear, paypal sends me an email letting me know that the funds have now been transferred over to me and that it is safe to ship out the merchandise. It seems like she is paying you using an e-check and when it's time for it to clear, she has insufficient funds in her account for it to clear. In my experience, when you are paying someone, you need to indicate HOW you will be paying them (e.g., e-check, instant transfer, etc.). I've never heard of paypal going into your account and determine who gets paid and when. That is something that the person sending the money decides.
The only time money was withdrawn from my paypal account without my permission was when someone hacked into my account and HE authorized the money transfer, not me or paypal.
