withdrawing money to my account but its ''pending''

[maxifly2012]

i sold some alton towers tickets on gumtree and they paid me via paypal as i posted it to them, how do i get paypal to release the money?

I have a very sick daughter in hospital but could not afford to travel so I asked a friend

to send me some money such that I can go to hospital.

Pending !!! Some **bleep** about security.

If anything happens to her, I shall sue !!

OR maybe READ the user agreement that you signed up to when you opened your paypal account so you are aware of the risk of pending withdrawals.

You can't sue a company that clearly state when they can hold the funds in an agreement you agreed to.

Yep, I sure the PPI  scandal was in T&C's. The T&C's can state whatever it wants BUT it has to comply with regulations.

Doesnt make it legal and plenty of people have won when fighting this through litigation. Their terms are not above the law and no one "agrees" to it. They click on agree box as it is required before opening paypal. Just because we click on a box that we are forced to doesnt mean we think their terms are great and we are willing to accept our money being held. We are agreeing that we have to tick that box and agreeing that this is their terms, it doesnt mean we agree with them doing as they do. And that we dont have our own terms too.

Rubbish, this is pure fraud and I have reported this to the FCA.

Good luck with that one as the FCA have no authority over paypal as they don't regulate them.

And even if they did i guess they would have a good laugh at your reporting paypal for doing exactly what they state they will do in their user agreement that YOU agreed to.

Your ignorance in these matters  would be amusing if it was not so tragic.

Any company who provide financial services in the UK *have* to comply with local

regulations. Same as any corporation.

@docherd

Your ignorance is devasting as paypal are well aware of that fact which is why their user agreement passed scrutiny and the holds accepted as legal YEARS AGO.

Hmmm, watch  this space 🙂
