Re: Limited account and cryptocurrency wallet

I understand that, but my only "crime" was forgetting to turn off my vpn I was using to cancel my disney plus account that I couldn't use anyway while I was traveling in Korea. Not a warning, not an alert, just fully limited. And I understand holding for 6 months but I don't even have transactions that would be needed to be refunded. It may be careful on your part but it is a blanket policy that doesnt take anything about the user into account and I can't even email paypal about it because I only get automatic responses or get to talk to the stupid AI chatbot on the site (who says to email paypal)    All in all, it is quite shocking to be honest that they are legally able to hold money for 6 months like that and should be a warning to other users who legitimately rely on paypal for their business. Very disappointed in the service and the current situation.  ... View more

Limited account and cryptocurrency wallet

I had a paypal account that recently became permanently limited perhaps because I accidentally kept my vpn turned on when I logged in. I had a few hundred dollars in crypto in my wallet and since I now have to wait 180 days to get my money back (kind of insane) I also cant even sell my crypto currency and just keep it in the wallet whenever I want to. Is paypal just going to arbitrarily transfer the crypto back to the wallet whenever the 180 days is up? That feels absolutely criminal given the fluctuations of cryptocurrency. ... View more
