Timmaahy -- If you read some of these blogs, it seems that PayPal has resorted to scamming its customers, putting outrageous holds on funds without provication - obviously for their own personal financial gain. I suggest you complain to your state's attorney general's office. This absolutely seems directed specifically at you (and others) for no reason. You have been a customer for a long time, have a confirmed account, etc. -- so how could they be weeding out scammers when you have been doing business with them for a long time and they have all of your personal information? There are other, more ethical ways of dealing with scammers and money launderers. Putting funds on hold, especially resonable transactions, is just wrong and should be investigated. I'd love to know how much interest that PayPal is garnering from so many funds on hold.
