Hello, I have opened a new account and used it for about two months. Our customers would sometimes want to pay by credit card, we would process their card against an order that we had dispatched to them. PayPal put a hold on the account on two occasions and asked us for information including shipping information and invoices. We furnished this information straight away. Then PP put a permanent hold on the account and we are unable to use the account. they have $4k of our money frozen in the account that they say they won't refund for 180 days. I have called 3 times and no-one will explain why, just that the backroom staff made the decision and you can't talk to them. I explained that I had a PayPal account for more than ten years that would have over $.5million every year paid buy credit cards. There was never any fraud. They also have my SS number, Driving license, home and work address and Bank information. Im sure they mention that they can hold money to prevent them form being at risk of loss but this makes no sense at all. There is no risk. Im sure many others have been caught by this dubious practice
