Consumer Narrative
I made a {$74.00} purchase from XXXX on my account on XX/XX/2022 ( transaction # XXXX ). I canceled the ticket with the company. I was meant to receive a refund of 80 % of my purchase ( {$59.00} ). I have not received the refund. I contacted PayPal and filed a dispute. They replied with a very confusing message about requiring more information by XX/XX/2022. I replied saying I did not understand but sent them the information contained here ( in the form of a copy of the transaction information from their website and a receipt from the company ). They closed the dispute in the seller 's favor because I did not reply as requested ; however, their own website shows I replied on XX/XX/2022 and the documents I attached. I have been trying to contact PayPal via telephone as I am not able to resolve this online. This weekend I spent several hours on the phone. PayPal 's automated system is geared toward not allowing consumers to speak to a person. When I did get through ( after holding for many minutes, I was disconnected once, told I needed to speak to another department and then transferred back into the same queue I had just left. I was finally able to get someone to help me and I was told I needed to speak to someone in another department. I begged not to be transferred and received the telephone number. Today I have called this number but again it is geared toward getting me to go to the website ( this does not help as they have closed the dispute ). Once I did get placed in a queue to speak to someone, the message states it will be 45 minutes to over an hour. I waited for 30 minutes and was disconnected. I can not resolve this issue without speaking to a person who is both competent and properly trained. PayPal is a large financial institution that is not behaving as an ethical and responsible financial institution. While I understand that I can not be dealt with immediately, I should not be left to feel that I am dealing with a man in a back alley buying black-market currency. I should be able to contact a person without having to deal with a electronic system that is either poorly designed or designed to shield PayPal from being accountable for their mistakes or poor customer service.
