Warning about sending money overseas

modo
By modo

Has anyone used Paypal to send money to relatives overseas from Qatar? I have and after a month my son is still unable to gain access to that money, even though it has been taken from my bank account by Paypal. We have sent endless emails with all the details they asked for and still they will not release the money.Since then I have used the Exchange in Lulu to send money and have no problem whatso ever. After reading other folks bad reports on the web about them, I dont like calling them by their name as they do not Pay and they are not my Pal, I do not think I or my son will ever see that money again, they are crooks. Be warned!

Gosh, I sent money overseas by Paypal two weeks ago and it worked just fine. Sorry you've had trouble!

i only use paypal for all my online transactions and i love it.

I once had a problem with freecall and wanted my money back, i could get it so easily.

I am sure if i had bought the card here in qstar i wouldnt have been able to claim any refund.

Sad to hear your case
