Here's one more way Pay Pal is getting you guys and I'll bet alot of you don't even know it...
When you log onto your Pay Pal accounts, click on the REFERRALS tab. Scroll to the bottom to the View your REFERRAL LOG link.
I have three referrals in my log that say PENDING, the oldest one is from August 23rd. I never got the $5.00 for these, never even got an email saying I was entitled to (pending) bonuses.
From the FAQs and Refer-a-Friend Terms of Agreement:
"When do I receive my $5 bonus?
You will receive each $5 Referral bonus after your friend COMPLETES VERIFICATION of their account. Receiving bonus rewards depends on HOW QUICKLY your friend registers for a PayPal account and completes the BONUS REQUIREMENTS"
I looked into this further and found out that the person signing up with you as a referral must now VERIFY A BANK ACCOUNT before you'll ever see your "pending" 5 bucks. Buyers have no need to give Pay Pal their bank account numbers. Most are using their credit cards to pay for auctions and note:
"Bonus Period. Confinity reserves the right to discontinue the Bonus for any reason, at any time and for any duration at its sole discretion, and without notice."
I doubt we'll ever see those promised bonuses, except in our PENDING logs!

Everyone,
Once again, threads concerning PayPal are dominating the eBay Outlook. I am going to lock this thread as well as several others, and ask that you confine your comments concerning PayPal to the one PayPal thread that will be left open in the eBay Outlook, or start a new thread in the Partner Services Forum.
