Why is PayPal S***** customers?

and yet..they grow.

it's a mystery to me as well.

I feel your pain.

Paypal has never really been about helping customers. I feel your pain.

That's frustrating, but it goes to show you that knowing who is selling your product is detrimental to your business. If you are going to have "affiliates" sell your product, make sure you know them and they have a good reputation, and experience in selling whatever it is that your selling.

Really, what does a chargeback from criminal affiliates have to do with Paypal? The credit card company does the chargeback and rightfully so, since it was most likely a stolen credit card number.

Don't approve affiliates you don't know and put them on delayed commission only and that will eliminate crooked affiliates.

If you want to avoid chargebacks change YOUR affiliate
approval process.

You can change to 2Checkout, Clickbank and any other
processor. BUT, if you approve any and all affiliates you
will still get chargebacks.

It's not an exclusive to Paypal problem, it's a vendor based
problem.

Thanks, guys, l know that it is part of affiliate sales that some try to screw you.

And limiting their actions is fine, but you will still get one dodgy chargeback before you know?


Possibly restricting any new affiliates sales to the lower end $5 sale only may be one option, and allowing people who haven't had a dodgy sale unrestricted affiliate access to the lot?


But it isn't really the chargebacks that p**** me off but how PP is handling it.


In the past l would click a few buttons and the unknowing customer gets his money back that was temporaly in my account or a holding account?

The a**** crook unfortunately gets a free copy, and l get to restrict another affiliate with a list of crooks, that like Giraffe sites!


But last one, there was no way to fix it quickly except be out of pocket, then get slugged another $10 for some BS fee!

Hopefully the phantom CC payment may clear what l had to cough up, but it doesn't look likely. It seems that the more changes they make the more the seller suffers!

Hopefully my survey will make the dumba*** CEO, who made this harsh change think twice, time will tell.

Might even get a refund????


I am hoping that this only happened because the same affiliate screwed me three times.

But if not and it will happen every time, then l will at least have to check all my affil, against chargebacks and restrict the ones with one mark against them with a leg, sale, and ban the ones with dodgy sales only!

Look at it this way;

1- You give me a $20.00 cheque/CC for payment.
2 I deposit it.
3 It bounces faster than a fastball in a ballgame.
4 My bank charges me $20.00 service charge, and returns it to your bank.
5 Your bank now charges you $20.00 service charge. total $40.00 plus your time.

Now If I am correct you may be able to charge him $20.00 or want you think is fair, plus the charges that the banks have charged you for the Bad CC/NSF cheque.

You will need to find that out.

If it was stolen well say good bye to it, and carry on.

I am not a lawyer/accountant at all.
We have our own business and have done it legally, thru the proper channels
Check out your rules and laws require in this.

It is NOT PAY PAL fault that this has happened/nor/YOURS.

It is man kind that thinks (put your own words here).

Those figures mentioned earlier are with in reason.
We have seen higher figures also, up to $250.00 at times.
