Bernardd Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I received an email today about a class action against paypal. Is this BS or something I should look into? Supposedly anyone that's opened an account at paypal from Oct/99 to Jan/04 is included if they want to be or you can opt out. Any lawyers on the forum that have heard about it?

wheelman Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I read through the email and I think you're only part of the suit if Paypal did an erroneous transfer or denied you access to funds in your account at some point. I'm not a lawyer so take that for what you paid for it but thats how I understand it. It's not a scam. http://news.com.com/2100-1017-842240.html Wheelman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guycali Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I acutally sent that email to PayPal thought it was a spoof mail. PayPal replied saying the class action is legitimate. Yes, I'm part of the class action member. Wonder how much we'll get, probably $2... LOL. -Guycali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 The only way youll get any money out of it is if you lost money becasue of what paypal did to your account. Stuff like not allowing you to transfer money , locking your account for no reason stuff like that. I thought i would get money but no luck here. Even if you do its only 50 bucks and thats as long as the fund can be distributed without emtying it. if more people aply with legit claims then there is money they will just divide it up equally. So if there is a million dollars and a million have legit claims you will only get 1 dolar Go to the link in the emial and read the short or long claim form. they start out with very specific questions to gage if you can apply or not.

Forrest Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Even if I could get in on it, I wouldn't. It would be immoral, since they have never done anything I could or would want to sue them for. They have made ebay transactions a breeze, and low profit sales worth making - just because you can complete them without wasting time. If they go out of business, maybe I'll sue the people who sued them, for making ME lose sales. By their logic, I would be in the right.
