TARGET Do not use paypal to pay for anything at Target, only gives gift cards for returns. Internet
Warning..Do not use your paypal card to pay for anything at Target stores. I did not see the fine print apparently and when you make a return you do not get credit back to your charge account or your bank account. You only get a Target gift card so you have to shop there. I do not know of any other store that does this. I use Paypal all the time on Ebay and love it. I feel like they stole my money. I will never shop at Target again. Unfortunately I had placed another order online two days ago and they said oops too late to cancel. Another Target gift card. What a ripoff to not give you your money back the same way you paid..

My email from Target said that I would receive a credit in the original form of payment.. I paid by credit card and received a gift card credit in return. If you use the paypal option when checking out online which I did not know your credit will only be in the form of a electronic gift card. You are being forced to shop there even if they don't have what you need. I did not buy anything with a gift card. When I called to complain the man on the phone said it in the fine print. They know that they will make more money because if you lose the number that's it no replacements. I am through with Target and I am not the only upset customer.

If you do not use cash, debit card, or credit card, corporations (big stores) do this all the time. Even sometimes, they do it even you use a debit card or credit card. It is a "WIN WIN" situation for them -- don't need to go through a hassle to refund and the money is still theirs regardless. I hate the way they do as well, but it is legal and is the loop hole. The law is not clear enough to force them to pay back the same method a customer uses to pay for their services/goods.
