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 ......)

Respond to my Twitter if you can?  @lillyasp

Your only hope is to call your local newspaper and tell them your plight...  sounds newsworthy. You have no hope dealing directly with PayPal.

Im on twitter posting tweets about this.  @lillyasp

You mentioned you successfully sued Paypal, can you give us others some guidance or direction on the best way to do this and who to subpoena at Paypal? When I asked for their attorney information they just gave me the corporate office address and nothing else. Even better if you want to give us the name of your attorney I’m sure he or she would like that. I’m shocked to find so many people had the crappy crappy experience I had, it’s sickening and yes they are making a ton of interest on everyone’s money, it adds up And I’m guessing is a big part of their portfolio… It’s disgusting how they’re doing it in the name of security though. They’re a bunch of thieves and frauds and I want to make them pay everyone back plus interest

How/where can I sue them? Please help!

If you are in USA you can sue them by first sending a letter of demand to

<removed>

Send it with proof of delivery like Registered Mail or Certified with return receipt. You have to check off on the court forms that you have made a demand before you can sue. You might find that they settle your claim without having to sue once you get the attention of their attorneys. If not,  sue them in small claims court for up to $10,000. You can usually get some free help from volunteers working with the court though possibly not at the moment due to the pandemic.. In San Francisco you can fill out an online form and follow the instructions.
