Re: account being limited

My account has been limited since April. I did have a fraud situation, but it was resolved in August and I've sent in all the information they've requested of me to resolve the limitation. Still nothing. It's been three months now, but apparently I'm supposed to assume they "haven't gotten to it yet." Their handling of limitations is ridiculous. The phones are useless, the chats are useless. I guess we're forced to accept that all our information (and in some cases money) gets to be in limbo forever on this site. ... View more

Account Limited for Months

Trying to confirm if  this is a common issue or not. My account got hacked back in april. The charges were marked as fraud and my account was put into the limited status. For a long time I wasn't able to confirm a card or my identity in the resolution center no matter what I clicked, so I waited until my bank and paypal finished processing the fraud. That process finished in the first couple weeks of August. For whatever reason, I was finally able to confirm everything paypal asked for. All check marks are green and I am currently in this supposed 72 hour business day review time. Clearly it has been more than 72 hours. It's been 2 and a half months now. The dumbest part of this whole thing is the ONLY emails I receive from paypal are asking me to complete the steps to confirm my identity when I HAVE. There is nothing new to fill out every time I log in. So what's going on? I can't even close the damn account to get my card and bank off of this website. There's also no option to email them wherever I look in their contact information. It's either instant messaging, calling, or messaging the community. I definitely don't have time to sit and wait for several hours for a call that might never happen right now, so I'm posting this here before I bother trying the messaging to find out if it's even worth my time. I haven't been able to use paypal for 6 months because of this ridiculous system. ... View more
