Re: Account Permanently limited - only 1 transacti...

I can not take the risk. I have 4 accounts closed with funds withheld, so I am not going to close the one account attached to the American Business that has been going for 8 years. Each business is located in a different country (these are new websites) and I source product and pay staff in the different countries. Having a single account in just one is a double whammy of fees when the currency is converted. You are supposed to be able to have multiply business PayPal accounts. There is nothing in the rules about which countries they are in. (Right? I could not see that). But each business is still active in each country. I just wanted my main business moved to NZ. When I change the PayPal account on the website it was permanently closed (again holding funds for 180 days) If that is not allowed then I can accept that and will get a merchant account with the Banks and process myself. What I am wanting is someone who can me exactly what I am doing wrong so that I stop doing it. PayPal do not do this. They let us speculate in a forum 😞 ... View more

Hi I opened a new Paypal account in New Zealand and transferred one payment to it from myself from an American PayPal account.  2 months later I get the email saying my transaction (of sending my money to myself) was reason for permanently limiting the account.   I have had PayPal for 8 years, attached to an American Bank.  All I want to do is open a New Zeland Paypal and transfer to a New Zealand Bank.  4 Times now Paypal has perminetly closed these accounts holding on to over $600 of money under different emails.  I am not buying anymore domain names just to get a paypal account.   They say to email them, I usually get the standard reply I broke some regulation.  I am completely surprised that now sending money to friends and family (my one transaction) is grounds to close an account. But they will never actually help you with what you have done wrong to fix it for next time.   My previous attempted to open an account was closed for copyright voliation.  I own the copyright since it is origional product.  I pointed out the name of the artist on the website was me, the email address on the website was the same domain as paypal, that it is the same product they have accepted for 8 years, all I want to do is change Banks I transfer my money to into a different country.  All I got was the standard copy and paste reply saying there is nothing I can do I broke the rules.   I am living in Thailand, but have access to VOP to call someone real in the States.  I would just like to find out why my accounts are constatly being closed and they are keeping the money in them.  This last time I thought I was fine, but 2 months after the transaction they closed it as well.   Any advise on how to contact someone who has more responsibility than copy and pasting emails as replies?     ...

Re: Using PayPal debit card in Europe for ATMs

There is usually a pretty heavy 'conversion charge" when using a creditcard or Debt card in another country.  I would look through Paypals fine print and see what it is, compare it to getting travellers checks and the cheaper option of taking some cash in the countries currency ... View more

It is rather pathetic at half a percent.  Not too sure why Money managers are getting million dollar bonus when this is the best they can do.   In New Zealand the banks are offering 6% return on a savings account and so I am taking my money out of Paypal and putting it where at least it earns something semi respectable http://www.psis.co.nz/InternetBanking/nt/rates.asp ...
