Paypal Class Action suit
« on: Thu, 28 January 2016, 11:09:27 »
Probably won't result in much, but this could help some of you who have had issues during group buys in the past.  Wasn't really sure where to post it, so here seemed fine.

I looked at this but I have never really been harmed by their shenanigans, mainly just annoyed.

If you took a significant loss you should join the suit, but you will need evidence and proof.

That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.

I had an issue related to this during the Alps 60% GB.  Since I planned for Paypal to **** around, I didn't lose money.  The only thing lost was about a month of GB time.  I wonder if it is worth submitting a claim.

It might be of note that I did not receive an email mentioning this class action suit despite meeting the requirements for someone to have received the email.

You will probably have to show evidence of loss in order to receive any compensation.

I don't think this is about losing money as a result of the holds.  I think it is, in part, punitive for poorly informing users:

I submitted a claim. I did not see anything that outlines having had money loss. It appears that the lawsuit is more about the policies that PayPal has recently imposed. I highly doubt I'll see anything of worth come out of this, but it was one hell of a headache during the rgbyk GB.
