Banned from PayPal for being a victim
 

Hello all, After being a verified trusted member using PayPal for over 8 years and a top rated eBay seller my PayPal account was hacked into. PayPal had to reimburse me for the unauthorized withdrawals from my account and 6 months later it happened again. First time $1300 second time only $400. Not even a week went by when I received an email from PayPal stating that they are no longer offering me their services and put a hold on my account for 6 months before I could even pull out my cash from my account. I am banned from PayPal for life for being a victim of theft, their mistakes, and less than standard security and protection against fraud.
eBay inventory stood still with no payment method for my buyers , bills piled up and I started going into a downward spiral.
I started researching other sellers with similar fates and gained knowledge about stealth accounts I am just putting them together now and look forward to beating The Most Evil Entity On The Earth (PayPal) at there own twisted game.
Thanks for listening everyone, iamrubenk

how did someone access your account twice though? did you change your password? i think there may be a keylogger or something on your computer.. i would definitely format your computer and start fresh.

they are probably doing the right thing by not allowing you to use it anymore, otherwise its going to happen a 3rd time?

Your own lack of operational security caused your account to get hacked into twice. This isn't anybody's fault but your own. They lost $1700 because of your inability to keep your password secure or use 2FA so you can't really blame them for wanting to part ways with you.

Sorry. :/

Sounds fishy to get hacked into again, sad to say

I am glad I have never been hacked but I don't download random stuff either

Re: Banned from PayPal for being a victim
 

right? I could easily just say my account was hacked and $10,000 was removed from it.. and ask for paypal to reimburse. unfortunately the world doesn't work that way. so i dont know about you being a "victim"

Re: Banned from PayPal for being a victim

It is not his fault,it is the tooth fairy having a bad hair day !

Re: Banned from PayPal for being a victim
 

Most people who get hacked once it's their own fault. A second time it's intentional...
