Re: help - why have my funds all been put on hold

I cannot believe the disgusting way paypal are doing this. The phone lines are closed in the UK but on livechat they told me it was due to coronavirus - not sure how they have worked this out (I have sold a couple of things in the last few weeks - no more or less than usual, and I don't meet any of the criteria on the link sent with the email).   They said I might be able to appeal it but they are not sure. Interesting that out of the milllions of accounts they have they pick 2 long term accounts which are in good standing  - wonder if all the 10k 'selected' accounts were like this.   Very very strange and also annoying as I wanted to take a break from selling after 19 years (but now feel like I will be back to new seller status if I do). thanks for your information     ...

Does anyone know why Paypal might have decided to put a hold on all my funds today ? I have been selling on and off on Ebay for 19 years (consistently now for the last couple of years), I haven't had any returns or Paypal/Ebay disputes recently, and have 100% feedback.   Today Paypal send me an email telling me all my funds are on hold due to issues but due to Covid 19 I cannot call them (I have tried their live chat function which says there are 'hours' wait (which I will do).   It says Funds Now is no longer available on your account. This may be due to changes in your account, selling activity or potential fraud concerns.   I have taken down most of my listings as I don't want to be risking going to the post office but I can often go weeks without anything selling anyway so there shouldn't be a change in my selling activity.   Any ideas what might have happened, and how I can access the funds I was saving up in my paypal ? thanks ...
