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 !!!!!

you sure you don't work for paypal as you seem to know lot of answers and keep replying to messages all over the place. If you are based in the UK guys speak to the Financial Service Ombudsman - they will advise you on what to do. I will never deal with paypal again. I would say to customers can you pay through the paypal link, customers used to say to me no thanks - ill bacs transferre. I can see why!!!

Hi, would like to know that the limitation won't be removed after 180 days even though funds are allowed to be withdrawn will it? Thanks.

Hi @Il_Prete_Rosso,
Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum, and welcome as a new member!
If your account has been permanently limited the funds will be held for 180 days to cover any claims, or chargebacks that may be opened on transactions you have received. Once the funds are eligible for withdrawal you will be notified via email, and advised to log in and withdraw the funds. The limitation will remain on the account, and will not be removed.

They are just unethical rob dogs peeps. They just locked my accounts too and have around £3500 held for 6 months.
Spread the word and tell as many as possible not to use these robbing ba**a*ds
They do not conform to UK laws because they secreted themselves under a rock on the fringe of Europe so they get to pay the minimum taxes rather than paying in to the system like every other ethical company.
Why did they lock my accounts? because ONE of my businesses sells CBD and so they locked all my accounts!
Utter **bleep**

Just done the same to me for selling completely legal CBD? Did you get anywhere? I have emailed them and explained my situation. I genuinely didn't know you weren't allowed to see a legal food stuff.

No mate they still have £3500 of my cash and it's now 240 days. Ombudsman is on the case but it's limited what can be done here in the UK because they are not a financial institution.
People just don't realise just how unethical this PayPal lark is until it's too late and they do a cash grab......cos they can!
