Walking the Edge of Reality

A look behind the curtain to my world...

PayPal owes me money
Thursday, May 22, 2008 7:07 PM

I decided to install the "PayPal Plug-in", which allows one to use their PayPal account to make regular online credit card services. They use to have a simple "Virtual Debit Card" system where it would open a frame at the bottom of the page with your virtualized credit card number, but now they've attempted to get all modern with this plug-in that does things like auto-fill the address and credit card info on pages (which is kinda scary sometimes, all things considered).

So I used it once, then went and used it again and I couldn't. Then I went to buy something with PayPal and not the Plug-in, then PayPal says my account is RESTRICTED. I try to log in to PayPal and I not only get an instant error message, but there's no comment of the restriction.

I call PayPal Customer Support...

"Uh... sir... we've never seen this happen before. You're restricted, only it doesn't show it the way it normally does. I've got two supervisors looking at this and they're stumped as well."

"OK, then hit a button and unrestrict me."

"I can't. There is no button to do that."

Since this is a technical issue with the website, they do not seem to have the tools to unrestrict my account through customer support. So some "techie" has to fix it the old fashioned way, and who knows when the hell that's going to happen.

In the meantime, PayPal has most of my available money hostage until they can resolve the newly discovered technical problem with my account. I can receive funds, but I can't use them in any way, shape or form.

Kinda puts a damper on some of my plans, if you must know. Nothing's ever easy, is it?
