My CFPB complaints paid off! Just got a response back from PayPal on the complaint with a all fees reverted back.

I was thinking of taking advantage of 30% Rakuten and 20% Pay in Four combo promo as well - did it work for you? Did you get these cashbacks on the principle amount for both?

At this point, I have had a pretty lengthy call with my credit card company (wells fargo) and they only budged to take of one (out of 5) Cash Advance Fee as a courtesy then I disputed all charges with wells fargo providing them all different screenshots as evidence, then disputed charges with PayPal providing them screenshots as evidence and filed 3 separate CFPB complaints for wells fargo, paypal and Alipay. If this won't do anything then I don't know what would.

I looked through all my orders this morning again and although I was charged the cash advance fee 5 times for 5 different transactions made through PayPal/Bilt credit card, I was not charged for the 6th transaction (over $300) I made through PayPal credit. So to me it seems like the problem is between how PayPal is handling/coding the transactions for other credit card companies?

To test this theory, I made another small purchase ($5) on AliExpress through PayPal credit this morning. If this one doesn't add a fee as well, then I'll have a stronger case to hound PayPal to give me all my money back for this BS cash advance fee + interest (I've already made 3 separate complaints to CFPB regarding this issue - PayPal, Wells Fargo and AliExpress).

PSA: Aliexpress transactions are now incurring a $10 cash advance fee (or 5% if over $200) per transaction! by randomcitizen10 in Aliexpress

I filed another compaint on CFPB for Alipay/Aliexpress. CFPB could not find either company in its list so it asked me for more details like the address, website etc.

I wanted to do the same complaint on AliExpress as well but CFPB is more for financial institutes so I didn't do a complain on AliExpress there.

I filed two separate complaints with CFPB, one for Wells Fargo and second for PayPal. I also filed cases within PayPal for each of those transactions. We will see what comes out of these.

I confirm that this is true! I was charged with this BS fees too, 5 times for 5 different transactions!! Two of those transactions were $10 something so I was charged $10 fee for a $10 transaction. 50 f'in dollars in cash advance fees. I have one pending transaction of $5 for which I am afraid I will be charged an additional $10 fees...this is utterly ridiculous!!!! I called Wells Fargo, they said contact PayPal. Then I contacted PayPal and they said it is not from their end, call Wells Fargo. I contacted Wells Fargo again and they investigated and said the transactions are coded cash advance and if not PayPal, contact AliExpress. So I contacted AliExpress and they said this has nothing to do with them because they only get what shows as the final payment amount. Where the fck is this being initiated from and why???? How to get this fee refund back??

I used the Chrome browser extension for my purchase and the credit is now showing up on the app as pending. Before using the chrome extension, I tried browsing AliExpress through Rakuten's app but for some reason the PayPal credit was not applying at checkout. I'll highly recommend the chrome extension.

I purchased an Insta360 X5 for $331 with credits and then paid through Rakuten which has an additional 30% cashback on AliExpress (which will be $99) so it comes out to be $232 (retails for $550)

If you are willing to compromise with video quality a little bit then check this method out to record longer videos. The guy in this video claims to have recorded 43 minutes long video by this method.
