This is an ongoing issue with PayPal I mean I have a rental business but it can’t be much of a business if you people continue to arbitrarily hold my funds now a client has sent me $1800 and I can’t get it for seven or 21 days there’s no rhyme or reason for this to occur there is no justification for this the money is there and you guys are holding it and garnering interest on it who you have also charged over $66 in fees fees for what you don’t give me my money so we’re good are you can you please advise what am I to do furthermore maybe you can advise how I can avoid this in the future this is not just arbitrarily OK this is unacceptable you’re standing in the way of my business and my business is now at a competitive disadvantage because my bills can be paid to the people who I have to pay this is me in renting the properties never my taxes never mind emergencies now New York there was a flood in one of our properties and I know I can’t pay the restoration company because you’re holding up my money what am I supposed to do do you realize how unfair this is I mean this happened last time I got paid from Airbnb it is not for a purchase therefore I cannot add a tracking number or anything of the like this was a client paying for a rental now this is absolutely disgusting and they charge $66 in fees as well for what the client asked if she could send a check I was against us because thought it would take to work but this will probably even take longer this is so unfair unacceptable and I just want to contact the police because you were stealing my money you were making interest on it you’re not giving me any interest and on top of it all you charge $66. I believe that that some should be refunded to at least send it because again what help did you provide could’ve sent a check via snail mail and then I would’ve got my money faster that I could pay to the restoration crew in New York like the goal of PayPal to do this I have heard many horror stories it happened to me last time I receive money from Airbnb and now again as such I have no choice but to seeing business why because PayPal has made it unbearable that is something that is not fair I cannot even speak to anybody to make sure this doesn’t happen again PayPal you were standing in the way of my business ...

Here is a copy draft copy of a statement question that I posted the online chat I’ve spent hours and hours this weekend simply trying to figure out how to get my money it is now cost me great difficulty word has been ruined and forced me to close my Airbnb business because I cannot go on like this where I have to wait an unknown amount of time where I have to be told by operators 24 hours 48 hours 72 hours without any real knowledge where I have to spend hours and hours on a phone trying to get an answer where my money is being held without any justification reason or solid explanation whatsoever and nobody can tell. Can you when I getting my wife remember my money they charge fees they keep interest and I continue losing business hour by hour to become in a desperate situation as each day passes   have been playing around with a PayPal Sorry since last 48 hours I’ve done everything I possibly can to try to get my hard earned money to do so,etching whether it be paying for service paying individuals who are expecting it as it is near the end of the month buying gift cards sending or my personal favour depositing it to my bank account where I can get cash and pay bills I have spoken on the phone with PayPal various operators one admitted she was talking to me on her first day check no clue what she was talking about I have been calling long distance to Omaha Nebraska from Toronto Canada I have lost my reputation my word and my mind has become completely inundated and frustrated with the unfair treatment and lies that I have received weather be waiting 24 hours whether it be don’t want somebody to call you back or whether it be yes you will have it all resolved tomorrow and nothing has been achieved it is so unfair it is so frustrating that my Airbnb payments cannot be gotten any other way I will be forced to close my lucrative Airbnb business because I cannot deal with this unsure timing of when I will be paid via PayPal Airbnb they’re great PayPal I do not understand why this has become an issue for me I have since spoken and conducted my own investigations with many others through various forums and personal experiences and I have heard nothing but horror stories Weatherby that they got stranded in the middle of the desert because people decided to arbitrarily how old are funds something that had been never done prior or Weatherby that my friends cat died because he had no money from his PayPal account although he had $5000 available or whether it be simple another individual was evicted from his home because PayPal held on to legitimate money for over one week yet kept on telling him don’t worry so where do I stand and is there anyway you can help me with some fact based solutions and time frames and explanations and possibly you can advise me if there’s any reason I should not contact Better Business Bureau media and quite frankly police and fraud squad because you were holding onto my legitimate money much longer than you should collecting interest and collecting fees     ...

Yes this is a **bleep**ing joke ridiculous it’s my money from Airbnb and just because I feel like it they allow one transaction of $70 $90 when I try to get a 100 no. Customer service is completely out to lunch security is not helpful 24 hours is a BS time window and they have my money it’s not theirs I would like to call the police on them because this is fraud it’s my money not theirs ...
