Account Limitations: What You Need to Know

[kaitgray00]

I am experiencing this at the moment, I am losing business because the account is limited. 

I will be filing a claim against pay pal (via shopify that confirms the amount of money I have lost) even though I have submitted all documents and got the green tick about 3 months ago.

I just want to get my money, time and business information out of this awful company.

 I think the way Paypal conducts business is criminal. As soon as I have my business account limits removed I'm closing my account.  I'm trying to run a business and they're making me look unprofessional because of their unprofessionalism. How can they legally hold your money hostage indefinitely? My business account has been locked to incoming funds only because of a fraud charge I reported. I sent in the required documentation the same day they requested it and its been 9 days. No EMAIL, NO PHONE CALL. Representatives can't help me , I have to wait for them to contact me. What kind of BS is this?

The big problem here is that you put restrictions on accounts only because of "suspicious" and "unusual" activity, and of course you very often create big problems for totally innocent people this way. And this is an even bigger issue when you refuse to give any helt whatsoever when people ask for it! I don't know if my account have been "limited" or if there is any other problems, but this is ompossible to solve because you don't even answer emails to the customers support with a full description of the problems. How can you ever defend this behavior, PayPal_Mark?

Same here. Suspicious activity; but never explain multiple emails, responses from different people each time. Just unthinking rote responses. Don't help, despite many requests for help. Then,just as suddenly it's OK. Oh, wait try again and it isn't. I feel like Alice following the white rabbit down the hole. And, ta da playing the infamous Red Queen, none other than the dastardly, PayPal....

I was banned for life they said it was suspicious & unusual activity & I tried to tell them it wasn't me but they wouldn't listen at all just kept saying your banned for life final decision & wouldn't tell me what the problem was with my account. I tried to call but of course no answer. THEY ARE REDICULIOUS!!!!!

My Paypal account is verified with Indonesian bank account. I'm Indonesian.

I use VCC to verify my PayPal account because my credit card from my bank account can't use internationally, but I think it doesn't matter. Because I never use the VCC for operational with my PayPal account.

Yesterday, I requested withdrawal money to PayPal. After 1 day, my account suddenly limited. I provide ID and all proof address that PayPal need. After the review is finished, my account limitation is can't lifted, from the explanation, my account is doing fraud and not obey the user agreement, I'm so confused, what the fraud meaning in PayPal? I've received money from Hiribi.com after selling my Bitcoin for profit and payment from ebook that I sell, Is it fraud ??? I'm not found a false or not obey the rule after I read the user agreements. I need PayPal staff here to give an explanation.

Call them. They'll release your money. They may give you a little tough time but legally they have to, at most, release it within 30 days. If you want to escalate the issue because they're not cooperating go to your state small claims court.

[Mariamadalena]

only for $ 20 from small jobs must be through a local court?

which local court wants to do that.

the funniest joke in cyberspace
