Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Guys do I call PayPal to get this done? I tried transferring to bank today is the 180th day and it says your account is limited. I can't do anything. It says request a check, but I rather have it transferred. I'm afraid to call and talk to them. I just want my money out of there, should I call or what? its $775.00

Thank you. I need an answer fast. I am at my school in the library, using their public IP and public computer/host.

Thanks.

...ps Another issue I think might arise is: it's under my real name the PayPal account that is but its a derivative of my name and the Bank account/ paypal-prepaid/Bancorp is under another derivative of my name...

I don't think that'll be an issue I have both my ssn on both the paypal and the paypal prepaid card. thanks for your help guys please I hope I can can get an answer soon, have a blessed day...

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Did you receive the 'update on the status of your funds' email from paypal?

if not you may need to wait a few more days.. paypal seem to make up there own rules.

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

What ever you decide, dont call unless you really have to.. because if you get the wrong agent ont he phone, you may be requested for additional ID before they will release the funds to you and usually that never passes.

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

so what do I do??? no I haven't received the email saying "update on the status of your funds" Is it suppose to arrive? I didn't know about this. It makes sense though... Please anyone else have any experience with this? Please..?

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

If you didn't get the email saying your funds are eligible for withdrawal I would email them. I had the same issue i called them they asked me to upload ID and the person on the phone accused me of being under 18 for some reason. I emailed them and then i got the email that i can withdraw, and got my money out

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

should I Just request a check or wait it out one more day?

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

what email address do I use, do you know the email address?

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

If you click on contact us at the bottom of the paypal page, there is a call us button or a message centre button.

Use the mmessage centre button,
but they will email you a automated email, which you will need to reply to with the same message you put in the message centre, or they will not respond to you.

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Go to paypal sign in, click contact us should be on the bottom of the page, then there should be 2 option to call them or email

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Yeah what bunneh said... Beat me to it

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

lol, this is going nowhere fast...

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

ok I will try it righ tnow and follow back..

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

ok so what should I put in the email body to not sound suspicious or whatever. what should the email go like:

"hey this is (so&so). The 180 days are up. I would like to transfer my money to my bank account and I won't allow me to do so through the website can you please assist me?"

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Anyone please, anyone? I'm here waiting.... it says to be specific.

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

I think that should be okay.

Remember what Bunneh said
"but they will email you a automated email, which you will need to reply to with the same message you put in the message centre, or they will not respond to you"

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

All I've ever received from them was this:

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days

My niche is oriented around the sale so people won't be turned off by me not accepting PayPal. That would be the best option with an html revised description tha tlinks to my website... I ****ING HATE PAYPAL with a cot damn passion

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

im so scared guys i really need this money for more than one thing, my business really depends on it..


I gotta pay my corporation renewal fee which I was suppose to pay before April 30th... now its the $140.00 fee plus a $400.00 late fee attached. if I don't pay by September 18th it jumps to $1000 late fee!

I got $180.00 in merchant fees that I haven't paid either. Which is in collections which I don't know if my merchant will re-open my merchant account, Very Frustrating.

It's all the exact amount I need to get this sorted out... Jeez Louise.. ugh...

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

this is what i do first I look at the orginal email that states my paypal was limited and look at the time stamp I wait 180 days on the 180th day I wait til the time passes and it releases almost to the second then I just transfer to my bank.... if you do not have a legitimate bank attached then you have to attach one if you do not have the phone active that the account was created on then it may be difficult to add but in my experience if you add an account from one of the major banks that paypal lists then alot of times it will not ask me to verify to add that bank

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

lol you're scared because you cant make a $140 payment?
people these days

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

I had a feeling one of these ****ing *******s on this forum had a smart aleck comment coming (because I've seen it before) Whatever someone's financial situation is, definitely doesn't involve you. You schmuck. You don't what I've been through or what I have.

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

agreed alot of people have had tough times and they can always climb out we should encourage them

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

When you sent the message to them on the message centre. Did you reply to the automated reply you got in your EMAIL inbox to? Or they will not reply.

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Yes I did, with the exact same message I wrote to them in the message centre.

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Then hopefully they will respond sometime today 😊

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Really newbies? Going to argue over the number of days?

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

No one's a noob joeschooze. they were all very helpful with what they had to say, don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. if you have nothing insightful to say, then just stay out.

I got the e-mail! Thanks jjjj Bunneh yankee and burke..

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Great stuff hun 😃😃

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

My last question is: Let's say my name is Benjamin Too-Pub

My PayPal is under Ben Pub.

My Bank which is PayPal/Prepaid/Bancorp is under Benjamin Too.

I had linked my PayPal Prepaid Card to my PayPal and was able to do Instant Transfers to PayPal Prepaid card (which obviously I can't do now because my account is limited).

My SSN is on both PayPal and the Bank..

Because of the name derivative, will the bank not accept the PayPal withdrawal?

I had never actually withdrawn to the bank because I was able to do PayPal Instant Transfers. This is the reason why I am up in the air with it.

Please let me know ASAP. I am here in front of the computer at school. In the mean time I will step away for the time being and make a call to PayPal Prepaid to make sure from the source.

Thanks again guys..

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Once should be fine to withdraw to.

If you call the card issuer they will say the names HAVE to match when its not always true.

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Bunneh you are completely correct. I just called and they told me that the names have to match but your telling me they don't and that one time should be fine to withdraw too.

What if, at one point in time, I didn't have enough funds to cover the eBay fee's so PayPal dipped into my bank account and there wasn't enough money there to cover it. Would that be a problem in withdrawing if THAT happened?

No, right?

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

Not 100% sure about usa banks. But usually it only is a problem if someone on either end checks.

If your paypal is limited. Then ebay will not be able to take money from your bank as your paypal is locked from doing anything.

Re: Advice on transfering funds after 180 days
 

If your paypal to paypal failed in the past to take ebay fees then no it wont effect your withdrawal.
