There are actually two PayPals at the moment. An American one that got fined for stealing and ordered to pay a few million dollars in compensation, and a UK one that some people believe was set up to try to avoid paying some of the compensation. I'm with the UK one so I can take them to the FSA and the English trading standards board. They are now threating to take me to court to clear my "negative" balance which should be fun. I think I'll start a blog about it and get some w/m traffic.

They are also expecting me to pay a high price revshare telephone support number to try to "resolve" the solution. Has anyone got a premium rate number I can use for a while to get them to phone me.

Head Boy- can you give me a link to details on the US case, as I am about to start proceedings against the European division for a similar thing.

Also, are you sure about "so I can take them to the FSA and the English trading standards board." because they are based in Northern Ireland and not all British laws apply over there (as I am finding out, at great expense).

The are regulated by the FSA in the UK. I reported them to trading standards before they fled the US, and had quite a long talk with a guy there. It seems they were under investigation by the EU, but I guess that got dropped when they moved to Ireland.

Let me know if I can do anything to help. At the moment the onus is on them to start something as I moved my money out before they could get to it. It's much cheaper and easier to defend and counterclaim than it is to start an action, so I'll probably run with emails for a while. I've also pointed out to them that now that my account is unusable, I'm having to try to persuade my suppliers to accept alternatives, and I've already convinced one to add Money Bookers.

They created the negative balance, not you. You can't take money out if it's not there. Fuck those fucking fuckers.
