It's happened to thousands of people, and they're going to continue to do it. In the beginning, they were doing it illegally and a couple did sue and WON... but they've since changed their Terms and Conditions, to which we will accepted. So in other words, we all agree to this prior to even having an account. It sucks. Same happened to me.. my story is on here as well. My situation was a couple thousand dollars, not hundreds. They even lied and told me they would review my account early and send it early, that never happened. You wont get it a day sooner than 6 months... best bet is to try and forget about it, set a reminder and get happy in 6 months. You dont want to waste the 6 months contacting them like me. Its pointless. I even have all the emails of the executives, bosses, important people at PayPal. Emailing them didn't solve it. As I said, we all agreed to it unfortunately. Good news is, you can open another PayPal and it will work just fine. Atleast for me it did. I live in the US.
