Inquiry by PayPal-transaction on hold while paypal reviews it?

[lissasonly]

Has anyone had paypal say that they are investigating a recent purchase and so the payment will be put on hold while they review the transaction?  After sending payment for my purchase with my paypal funds, they put the payment on hold then notified the seller. The seller responded back to paypal, (which I have no Idea what was sent or what the reply was) and seller will not credit my account nor will I receive the item I paid for until paypal completes the investigation. However, the payment amount they put on hold is not credited back to my paypal account nor has it been sent to seller?  This has happened to me twice now...  Does anyone know why this is or what I can do about this??  Very frustrating!

Paypal has done this to me also. I received an email from the seller about this. How can I stop this? I have already verified my account( again) and verified my cc(again).

Did you call Paypal customer service?

Thanks everyone who replied,  I was told that this happened because I had logged in with my cell phone and made the purchase....  hummm,  but isnt this why there are moble apps??  my account was verified and comfirmed for years and now I had to redo these steps again,  What a pain in the butt.  However if you happened to have used your moble applications to purchase or sell an Item, this may be why the account or transaction was put on hold.  Just make sure to comfirm your cell phone,  then link it to your account.  Oh,  thats if your cell phone carrier is on paypals list, which mine is not so I cant link it, so this may or may not continue to happen to me, so I was told.   I sure hope this helps you all out and thanks again for the replies!
