If you're in the states, the Better Business Bureau is your friend
Oh my gosh, getting in touch with the BBB WORKED. PayPal is restoring my account and I should have access to my money again.
If you are in the US or deal with the US PayPal and your account is randomly, without warning, and without explanation closed down, file a complaint with the BBB!
BBB isn't like a real agency that does anything. It has no real power. It basically just like extort businesses giving them a low rating if people complain unless that business pays them a fine to remove it.
That's basically it. That's all it does.
sometimes! BBB rates if a company responds to a complaint, not if they satisfy the problem. It's a crapshoot but it's worth trying.
Hahahaha. The bbb is a private company that you can pay off to remove complaints. It's no different than posting a bad yelp review
I had an issue with an apartment complex where I formerly lived and I tried so many things to get it resolved. The BBB complaint was the thing that got their attention and made them work with me.
Posting a negative review on Google can get you a similar result.
Please do be aware that the BBB is not a government agency. It is a club created for businesses in the last century to list on their yellow pages ads. They can publish your complaint, and if the business is a paying member of the BBB they have agreed to abide by BBB rules.
Yes, this
Are there good analogues to the BBB in other countries?
It is stupidly good. Got Samsung moving fast on my denied warranty.
If you aren’t in the US, but the business you are having problems with is, they will help too.
That's true and my mom taught me about this when I was younger. Also the website was only about finding the business and I didn't know that it can help you to restore your PayPal account.
Anoother example of when i say the United States has the best economy and the most freedoms in the world I'm not complimenting the US. I'm saying this is legit the best there is. Thousands of years of progress and the best we can do is still shit.
