PayPal inexplicably limited access to my funds on Wednesday, 07 September 2016. They didn't explain why, and after jumping through a lot of hoops I was told that my account had been "completely restored."
On Thursday, 08 Sept. 2016, PayPal deactivated my card: "For security reasons, we deactivated your PayPal Debit Card. Please call if you have any questions." Of course, when I call, I am eithe rput on hold for half an hour or end up talking to someone who tells me someone else handles debit cards, then put sme on hold for 20 minutes.
On Friday, 09 Sept. 2016, I attempted to link my BofA account so as to withdraw money seeing as PayPal has deactivated my card. After I entered my routing and account number, I was informed: "An unknown service error occurred."
As such, PayPal has essentially stolen my funds. Sure, I can wait two weeks to get a check, but I need that money now, and not haing immediate access to it is going to cost me a great deal.
If anybody else has had such problems, please contact me. I think it's time for PayPal to pay up via a class action. SInce PayPal doesn't have a chat feature for emergencies for when they have inexplicably cut off access to one's funds — like a responsible financial institution does — nor answeres emails for days despite promising to do so within 24 hours, the results are such that PayPal should pay penalties when behaving unethically and possibly illegally.
