absolultey destroyed by paypal !!!

 

i bought a bulk load of digital software from an outside source , i listed them on ebay , sold about 40 % of them ,

buyers all paid by paypal , i literally sent the games after 5 mins of received payment ......

 

i went to withdraw the funds ( from my verified paypal account to my linked bank account !!!

withdrawer was reversed and a hold put on my paypal account ........i then phoned paypal and they said it was held just a precaution and i had done nothing wron and to continue to trade on ebay .........( funds would be released in 48 hours !!!!

 

then a couple of hours my paypal account was frozen for 180 days !!!!

 

i have over £350 in cleared funds , have sent out £350 worth of software and will not get my money for 180 days !!!!!

 

this is disgusting as i have done nothing wrong at all , no bad feedback and all buyers have got their purchases .......

 

you phone paypal they say one thing and the do another ........( even told me to keep seling while account was blobked ......)

 

what on earth am i supposed to do now ? this seems like fraud to me and im going to have to get a solicitor or even get police involved , no reason has been given for closing my paypal account and keeping my funds , i now have lots of stock sold and lots of stock with no way of selling them , all in all i have lost about £1000 because of paypal .....

 

somebody please help !!!!

Paypal holds your funds for 180 days as that is the same timeframe that buyers have to open paypal disputes.
So if no disputes are opened against you in 180 days then you are allowed to withdraw the funds.


Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

No one ever replies as to what happened to them, if they sued, or got their money back after the 180 days! Maybe PayPal takes any reply down as to what happened to the others this happened to. Be nice if someone, if they can, could reply as to what happened to them.

I am with you!!! We got locked out of our account the VERY first day we used it for absolutely no reason. We were getting deposits from a food delivery service that my fiancé works for and literally right after we finished the shift the account was locked. We are not rich .....or wealthy or even well off. So that money was everything to us and now we have nothing and they won’t even give us any reason as to why our account was limited. But they would let us keep adding money??? Seems like they’re actually the ones who are scamming people.
