Have you ever been deceived by paypal convert services?

At first I was in dire need of money to buy my child's milk, and I remembered that I had $8 in paypal and I wanted to withdraw to my bank but in paypal there must be a minimum withdrawal amount of $10. Finally, I looked for a converting service and I was finally tempted after negotiating a $1 transaction using the send method to friends/family so if there is a delivery error it cannot be refunded. Turns out he wasn't cheating after I sent $1, but after I sent $7 dollars it turned out that after a few minutes I was blocked by the person on the messaging app. Finally now I can only bite my fingers and feel like the stupidest person in this world. I really feel very sad because I am experiencing financial difficulties to meet my household needs

Sorry for you . Such cheaters are everywhere not only on PayPal. We should always be careful specially when we are online.

That's right. I strongly agree with your statement. Maybe for this time I was just depressed by the circumstances so I did something sloppy

I am sorry for you. I have no experience at all with PayPal. I recently open the account to get enrolled on MyLot. Hope things turn out well with you soon. Do not loose hope.

Sorry about what you went through. I've never tried using any conversion service outside PayPal. I know PayPal's conversion fees is not very low but at least I know it's secure and reliable.

@raturu Sorry, not sure what you mean. Where is what? I usually just use withdraw money from PayPal and use their conversion rates.

@cahaya1983 I am also like you, but this time because the money in PayPal I have not reached the minimum withdrawal so I use the convert service outside PayPal

It's business and sometimes we don't have other choices...
