I have had a Paypal account since 2007. I had never used it other than to send payments for ebay items. Well I am in the process of moving and had some large items I really do not want to take with me so I advertised them in the local trade times. I had a buyer that wanted most of the items I was selling but he wanted to use a creidt card. Knowing I had the Paypal account and that Paypal was supposed to be "safe" I referred him to them to pay me. HUGE mistake. He made 4 payments to my account. TThe first was 50.00 to make sure I got it. The second was 800.00 the third was 864.98 and the fourth was for 464.98.
A few days later I withdrew 1600.00 to my bank account and purchased some other items on ebay for my children. This was on the 16th. On the 17th I received an email from a seller asking why I reversed my payment to her for a PSP I purchased. I explained that I didn't and immediately logged into my Paypal account. Low adn behold my account was limited. I went to the resolution center and saw they wanted my Photo ID and a Utility bill.
Thinking this was okay because I had never received money into my account before I provided the requested information. I called them and was assured the limitation would be removed after 24 hours. The next days I saw the limitation wsa still there and this time they wanted invoices (which were sent through Paypal to protect my interests), shipping information, and also my supplier. I called and explained they were my personal items that I had at my home and I was moving etc. I was told to write an email and send it to them with all the information in it including invoices. I did this and today I saw the limitation was still on my account. I called them again and was told Paypal wanted to end their relationship with me. I said that is fine just transfer the money to my bank account and close my patpal account. I was informed they would not do that. They want to hold my monet 528.46 for 180 days. What kind of sense does that make?
Paypal is the most unethical business I have had the displeasure of dealing with. They are liars and scammers. Evidently they sit back and limit peoples accounts and rely on the person forgetting after 6 months then Paypal gets to keep the money. BEWARE of this company. They will F*K you and not even give you a kiss.
