  Initially, I used PayPal for online shopping and making purchases on the internet. It was so easy to use that I ended up depositing more than $6,000. Eventually, some of my family and friends also started sending money to my PayPal account.   Then, one day, I received an email stating that my PayPal account had been restricted due to "unsupported activity." With a balance of over $8,000, I was told I would have to wait 180 days before I could withdraw it.   I reached out to PayPal Support, but after two months, there was no progress. They said the decision was final, and my money remained stuck. I shared my experience with friends and family, and to my surprise, many of them had gone through the same thing. Almost all of them had their PayPal accounts restricted, with their balances frozen. I had thought I was the only one facing this issue, but it turns out many others have experienced the same thing.   I don't understand how PayPal operates, as it seems deeply unfair.     MY HOPE: I wish that, in the future, I could use PayPal again (though that seems highly unlikely). I also hope for alternative financial services that offer similar capabilities, but after searching, I haven’t found anything quite like PayPal. Hopefully, one day, PayPal will change ownership and management, becoming better—similar to the way Tw1tt3r (X) has evolved.   Honestly, I hope PayPal goes b4nkrupt and is replaced by a better service!       "I'm confused about what steps to take next. Has anyone here experienced something similar? I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you!" ... View more

My account is restricted, it's been 180 days since I received an email about the funds being withdrawable. But every time I try to withdraw it, a message always appears:   "Things don't appear to be working right now Sorry, but we need more information. Please contact Customer Service for assistance."   I really regret storing funds in Paypal because it turns out they stole it. I have contacted Customer Service but their answers are always incoherent, like they are confused. I have had this problem for more than 14 days, Be careful for you guys, don't store a lot of funds in Paypal because this could happen to you. ... View more
