Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I made a payment for a service to [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] via XXXX [ XXXX XXXX ], processed through [ PayPal ]. Subsequently, [ XXXX  XXXX XXXX ] informed me that their account had been closed by [ XXXX XXXX ], necessitating all customers to apply for a refund and re-pay using their new account. Acting upon this information, I filed a case with [ PayPal ] on XX/XX/2023, providing all necessary documents including the invoice, the merchant 's approval for my refund, and an explanation for the refund request. 

To my dismay, PayPal closed the case, stating, " The case was closed as the transaction was processed correctly. '' This status message is not only irrelevant but dismissive of the circumstances surrounding my refund request. While I acknowledge the transaction was processed correctly initially, the closure of XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX 's account by XXXX XXXX is the precipitating factor for my refund claim. 

I recognize the challenging task of reviewing cases and the need to protect merchants ' rights. However, in this scenario, neither the merchant nor the customer 's rights have been adequately addressed. This unprofessional action has caused undue delays, negatively impacted my customer experience, and affected the merchants operation.
