Another in the endless PayPal questions???

thedutymon

Good day,

Is this for real, when I go to my PayPal I do not understand where to look for some unclaimed money?
This seems like some sort of scam, and what is the bit about freezing my account, been using it in and out all day, no problem???

Dear neil duty,

Claim your cash

You received $17.50 USD from XXXXXX@hotmail.com on Nov. 7, 2008. If you do not claim your money by Dec. 7, 2008, this transaction will be cancelled and the money will be returned to XXXXXXXX@hotmail.com's account.

Log in to your PayPal account to view the details of this transaction. ???????????????????? Did that nothing ???

You need to manually claim this money because:

You are one of our high-volume customers. We ask PayPal users who receive more than $10,000.00 USD per month to complete our Supplemental Merchant Information form. I wish I made 10K per month, in my dreams????? Maybe 3-5K! per month.

To fill out the form, click the link below:

The information you provide helps us protect the integrity of our network. Payments sent to your PayPal account will be held as "Pending" until you complete this form.

If you have questions about this payment, log in to your PayPal account and click on the History subtab. Click the details of the payment in question for more information, or to accept or deny this payment.

Thank you for using PayPal!

I received this same email yesterday and believe it to be bogus. I've received at least 6-7 payments and transferred to my bank account and nothing is "pending" regarding these payments. Could not find this merchant form on the paypal site either

Sounds like someone is phishing. If you have logged in from that email, I'd go and change your password ASAP.

There are options where you can look for a specific transfer amount.

All in all , it really sounds like someone is trying to get access to your paypal account.

Good luck-- Sonny

Same answer I gave last time Neil, it is a scam. I got my first one over a month ago and still get about one a day.

It's NOT likely a phish. PayPal says it's a glitch.

In any event, never use a link in an email to log into PayPal.

PayPal is having "some problems" with "unclaimed payments."
It has been noted here in several threads.

Their side of the story............

Talking about the slow disintegration of PP and glitches, they've got a great new one. I sold a bunch of junk cards last night, all with free shipping. For some reason when I sent invoices, it would not allow me to combine invoices for people who bought multiple cards. I had two people make separate payments for all items purchased because it wouldn't allow them to combine...and with free shipping, what's the difference to them? It's low dollar stuff, so I just shipped out the cards for multiple payments in one package. If the buyers scam me and claim not received for the other cards, so be it. I just don't like that Paypal gets the extra 30 cents on each separate payment and I refuse to ship separately on these free shipping auctions.

Feebay just notified me that I'm no longer at Bronze Power Seller sales level, so they're dropping me from the program. I figure since I don't get the doubled discount for free shipping anymore, I'll go back to charging. ...and with this latest Paypal fiasco, it's not a moment too soon. My last day selling on ebay will be before 1/1/2009. It's just not worth the headaches.

Neil,

Just call paypal 1-888-221-1161 and ask for a "provisional credit" and your account will be credited for the full amount of the payment within 24 hours.

Good Evening,
OK, now it gets more complicated, I know not to use a link in anything sent to me by e-mail, Thanks.
I now have a pending E-Check...I know this has been covered but didn't pay attention in class because it didn't pertain to me at the time.
The PayPal gets more frustrating each and every day, why can't my bidders just pay with PayPal and be done with it?
I have three payments now that are E-Check, Pending or some other variation of such BS, can't I just refuse payment and save myself the headache, I sell 20-30 items a day and spend 9/10's of my time trying to figure out these 1-2 items out of hundreds, BS!!!!.
