About 2 weeks ago, I applied for a buyer credit through Paypal. I applied online, and then had to confirm some things over the phone. When I spoke to the rep. she said I was approved, gave me the amount I was approved for, and told me I would receive an email within 72 hours, and a package within 7-10 days. When I never received the email, I started calling Paypal, explaining that I needed the credit to pay for an expensive lot that I purchased on ebay. They gave me such run-around, and I must've called Paypal, and the credit union that the credit is through a dozen times. Finally, I received an email from Paypal saying they couldn't help me and that they didn't know what the problem was - their system showed I was declined. So, I figured - fuck it. So, about 4 days later, I got a package in the mail with my credit account information. I was like - OK, I thought I was declined. So, I bought another expensive lot, thinking that since I had my credit number and whatnot, that I could use it. Well, lo and fucking behold, there is another problem with the account, and Paypal online does not give the buyer credit as an option for payment...So, I call them again last night, and the nice lady at Paypal transferred me to the idiot lady at the credit union, whom I had spoken to during the first round of bullshit...this girl is a moron. She has no idea what she's talking about. She doesn't listen to the problem before she starts to give the (wrong) answer. Anyway, after about 30 minutes of being on hold and whatnot, the idiot gets back on the phone and says that they're having a technical issue right now, and just to wait. So, I say, how long until it's fixed? She says 2 weeks. Well, I flip my fucking lid. I ask her what kind of technical problem takes 2 weeks? She says the problem has been going on for the last 2 weeks, and I ask her if the Paypal reps. are aware of this, and she says they are. I get really pissed and tell her that I have somebody to pay and blah blah blah, and she says that my account has been credited with $25...I tell her I need $1500. $25 doesn't do me any kind of good. Now I'm fucking pissed, because I want to know what the fuck is going on. I'm going to call them now actually. Mother fuckers.
