Hi @keithaysh,

 

I'm very sorry to hear about the hold, that can definitely be frustrating when it affects your business. It sounds like you may have a limitation, in which case you would want to make sure you've provided everything we've requested. If you have, the case should already be in review. If the time frame for getting this resolved has been extended, you can always reach out to us on Facebook or Twitter so that we can help and see what options we have. Regrettably, I wouldn't be able to provide much insight here as we wouldn't want to discuss your personal information over a public forum. Hopefully the restriction is resolved soon!

The hold is about to come to an end. With what ways can i withdraw my funds considering my account is a UAE account. My business was a freelancing one and i have since then moved on towards other ventures. Withdrawal to bank through network requires a UAE trade license which is currently not in state due to closure. What alternative methods can i use to withdraw my money that has been on hold for ever so long. Is there any way i can send funds to someone else instead of withdrawing it after the 180 day hold?

 

Thanks

Hey @keithaysh,

 

Is the restriction a permanent one, meaning we advised that the account would no longer be able to be used? In that case, we would no longer be reviewing documents for the case, you would just need to wait until after the hold time frame has completed. After the 180 days, you can withdraw to either a US bank account or a debit, credit, or prepaid card. Sending the money to another PayPal account would not be an option, so one of the aforementioned methods would need to be used. You can always contact us on social media or by phone if you run into any issues.

Hello -

I have four different credit cards associated to my account and would like to download a CSV for 2018 activity by each credit card individually. I tried selecting one specific card, then clicked on <Activity> and the <Filter> and / or <Statements/Custom> in the hamburger drop down. But it shows the activity for all four credit cards. I can't find an option to show a specific card. Is this something you can guide me to finding?

Many thanks!

Hi @JohnBPP,

 

Thank you for joining the session. I'm sorry to hear about your frustration. It may not be possible to tailor the report further, and you likely don't want to keep trying since there's a limit to the number of reports you can generate over a rolling 30 day period. The beauty of downloading the CSV with all the information is that it will allow you to sort the information in any spreadsheet program, picking out the bits that you want and hiding or deleting the rows that are not material to what you're trying to calculate. If you're looking to get a total, you can use the sum function for the amounts in the rows that you do save.

 

I hope this helps!

 

Olivia
