Paypal
Based on recent customer reviews, Paypal is facing significant dissatisfaction from South African users who describe a deeply frustrating experience. Customers consistently mention being locked out of accounts after suspected hacking, with no accessible route to reach a human agent. A recurring theme is funds being withheld, accounts permanently limited without clear explanation, and unauthorised transactions going unresolved. Users repeatedly express anger at automated responses, unanswered emails, and the absence of a local contact number. Buyer and seller protection promises are widely felt to be unmet when disputes arise.
