How to submit a complaint about Paypal:

Your goal is to make a claim against Paypal in order to get Paypal to listen to you.  Unfortunately it takes a lot of work on your behalf to get Paypal's attention.  All of my steps will take about 2 hours of your time. Just copy and paste the same complaint everywhere you can!

First: File a complaint with the BBB. This may not always bring the immediate resolution you want but it will let Paypal know that you are serious.
Here is the link to complaint form:
http://sanjose.bbb.org/business-reviews/Payment-Processing-Service/PayPal-Inc-in-San-Jose-CA-21038

Write a review on the BBB Trust link community page. Let others know the pain that Paypal has caused you.  http://www.trustlink.org/Reviews/PayPal-Inc-206039983    

Send a copy of the BBB report to [email protected] and [email protected]

File a complaint with Consumer Affairs. Paypal reads these reviews daily and tries to keep their image as clean as possible. Do not be surprised if Paypal tries to bully you for information you post online.  Paypal is full of crooks who will do anything they can to steal $1 from you!  http://www.consumeraffairs.com/online/paypal_02.html

Visit the "PayPal Help Center" by clicking on the "Contact Us" link found on the bottom of the page and click the "Ask the Community" button. Click the "Post a topic" button and post your complaint by stating the problem. End it with a question asking for advice on the best way to resolve the issue. Top off the complaint by supplying a good title that best summarizes the complaint. (You can also do the same thing in the Ebay community if you are a member of Ebay. Paypal regularly reads all of the posts on both the Ebay and Paypal community sites.)

File a complaint with Pissed Consumer. This is one of the top sites that Paypal reads regularly and may take action if you make enough buzz about your issue. http://paypal.pissedconsumer.com/

KEEP CALLING Paypal. Most Paypal employees are rude, difficult, or refuse to listen. But sometimes you get one who will actually help you. Paypal has the ability to bend the "policy" if they need to.

BE PERSISTENT: Do not give up! Paypal will take your situation much more serious if you do not threaten but take action against them.
