Class action lawsuit against PayPal

Hello all, I’d like to reach out to everyone who is tired of PayPal’s sick policy and sketchy business. Here what lead me to this: I was paid by 2 friends money as friends and family. When I went to withdraw the first payment to my bank they said there was a 72 hour delay plus the 1 day to withdraw if they didn’t find a issue. The second one I withdrew to my debit card and they also placed a 3 day delay. I have already talked to an attorney and it appears it isn’t the first time PayPal is sued for placing unjustified holds on funds. It appears PayPal is only holding funds to gain interest from the money. Also: it states in PayPal’s policy’s that holds are randomly placed to a very small percentage, yet both of mine in different days were placed on hold. Fun fact: PayPal has already been sued in 2015-16 for these same unjustified practices.

Count me in. As others have said, HOW IS IT LEGAL 

to randomly close your account AND hold your funds for 180 days?!? Just to get interest? It's BS

I am SO sick of them keepibg money *I* have legally earned. I lost my job & am trying to make some extra money, but once they release my over $200, I'm withdrawing it & never using either eBay or PayPal again. I was almost in tears begging this "manager" to release my money because I had to pay my rent. All he did was read pathetic "reasons" why the hold from a script. I even asked him how he would feel if this happened to him & he admitted he would be just as angry and desperate as I am. Their own employees don't agree with their illegal practices!!! I sold something tonight for $13 and they held that too! THIRTEEN DOLLARS? Ridiculous. I'm totally down to sue the ever loving $hit out of these CROOKS.
