Paypal stranded me in Atlanta when I rented a room for a week and they denied the charge. So I called their customer service and got the worst customer service experience of my life. The rep would talk over me, literally speak gibberish, and then hung up.

That was the end of my interactions with PayPal.

I couldn't even get them to speak to them. Their system denied my payment dispute (for which I could show obvious fraud) instantly--within 20 seconds. And then when I called they refused to talk since it was denied.

Luckily I paid through my credit card on Paypal since I disputed it through them. If I had linked my checking account, they would have help a fraudster steal 700 dollars from me.
