Account Frozen, $1100.00 Held 180 Days After Online Sales

We are a very struggling family. My wife does not work because I am putting her through nursing school. I work full-time as a superintendent in a low-income senior development. Our house was in foreclosure, so my wife had to get a part-time job, and I got one too. We finally got out of that mess, and then her 2000 Subaru broke down. So she drives my 1991 Ford Explorer while I walk to work. We have two daughters, 13 and 15. We are doing our best so they can have the things my wife and I never had.

OK, enough boo-hoo for us. We decided to gather up some personal items of value to sell on eBay, so we got an eBay account and a PayPal account. Immediately we put up about 40 items to sell so we could get her car fixed. We sold almost everything and made about $1100.00. PayPal thought something fishy was going on, so they froze our account. They decided that we were a risk and informed us that they are keeping our money for 180 days.

So now we are out of our items and our money. They will not give us a reason why. They just said that due to their investigation, this is the outcome. How can they keep our money like that! Obviously we can't afford a lawyer, but I just want everyone to know that they are bullies. They pick on people who can't fight back. Now the black cloud continues to float overhead. Please, everyone, beware of PayPal.
