Same thing happened to me, but for a MUCH smaller ammount, they will probably hold onto your money as long as they can to make money off of it and then will return it when they feel like it. Thats how its worked for me. I called them and let them know I wasnt happy about them holding my money ($48) for OVER a week and after i hung up i checked my account- low and behold my $48 was placed back into my account instantly. CALL and complain to them until they return it to you. Dont bother emailing they never reply. ... View more

Just wanted to update on this. I used the number provided and tried painfully to recieve help from the person on the phone who could not speak english very well. I asked why my money had not been replacced into my account and he went on some rant about it taking till thrusday or friday due to my bank having to give paypal permission to give it back to my paypal account...?? ok...so I asked well the money had not been taken from my account yet if it took 7-8 days for my bank accout to give permission...he gave me the run around and sounded very nervous. I ended up not getting any help other then that it was going to take another week for $48 to be returned to me. I got off the phone after telling him none of that made sense...it was an instant payment then refunded within not even 5 minutes due to a mistke on facebooks part...paypal let me have $7 instantly but not the $48 rest of it..which made NO SENSE. he said its because it takes time to refund it lol   I checked my paypal after talking with this person and low and behold theres my $48 lol So that proves they do try to hold it to make money off it. lol Guess everyone has to make money somehow... Just know not to give up getting your money back in a timely manner people! ... View more

I understand paypal holds any refunds (pending/temp hold) so they can make interest off it but how much longer will I have to wait for my money to be put back into my account? Its been long enough now and Im getting frustrated. ... View more
