the money will be on hold for 180 days before PayPal can decide to release my money or not, why cant the money be release and hold the account? paypal is playing games with peoples life's, imagine holding someone money at your selfish decision.. paypal is not considerate

Everyone who posts on here about being limited always says that they had broken no rules. However Paypal do not ban you for 0 reason. What would be the point? They make far more money from you using your Paypal account than interest on any held money.

 

Some of the reasons for being banned are because you are under 18 or the account is not in your legal name or the account is registered in a country where you do not reside or you have violated paypals acceptable use policy.

Shannonbrown, I created a campaign on gogetfunding and they suggested I link my campaign to PayPal. Foolishly, I did. Paypal has limited my account for no obvious reason, and it's holding the donations that people made for my cause (and urgent cause, a surgery). I contacted customer service and they are asking what's gogetfunding, the website that actually recommended PayPal to me. I am trying to sort this out with no success. I can assure you that I broke no rules since gogetfunding did all the work. I just offered my PayPal details. And now,of course, I regret it.
