PayPal Community

I am an ebay seller that has gone through the ebay 90 day/3 months hold programme and has graduated from that.  After the ebay holds stopped i was selling with no problems or issues for a month after that finished.  Then suddenly, with no warning, paypal start to hold every single transaction i make on ebay holding the funds for every sale.  I was unsure why they were doing this so i called them to ask why this was.  At first they told me it was because of an old account and when this account was closed the holds on my sales would stop.  I closed that account and it made no difference.  The holds on every single sale i made still were held.  I kept calling and emailing paypal since January, four months worth of complaing about the holds they putting on my sales only to be told in the last week it is a random hold on my account.  When paypal hold every single sale i make for 4 months i hardly think that this is a case of randonly holding some sales.  They are holding all sales without fail that i make.  I have had to open a dispute with the FSA ombudsman as i keep on getting misinformation from the customer services without any resolution.  They cannot hold every single sale i do indefinintly for months and months this is not acceptable for sellers and casuses major disruption when posting items.  I have complained to the FSA  and they are going to investigate my case with paypal.  I also wanted to ask users if this problem had happened to them, where paypal are placing all of your sales on hold and saying it is a random hold, which, of course, is not correct if it happenes on every single you do.  In addition to the FSA are there any other ways of involing my solicitor or possibly taking paypal to county court so that action can be taken?     ...
