Paypal limited: WHEN does 180 days start?

[missbeingapowerseller]

I did a search for this question on here and the most recent was 3 years ago. I know a lot has changed in that period of time. WHEN exactly does the 180 days start?

This gets answered regularly. This was a couple weeks ago and on the first page on this forum now. I think it is four or five down the list when I copied and pasted it.

It starts when you get their goodbye letter.

Your 180 days starts once your account is limited. Your account is limited when they limit the account. It is not after you fail to send in paperwork or anything else.

IT IS 180 DAYS FROM THE TIME/DAY THAT THEY SEND YOU THE EMAIL STATING THAT YOUR PAYPAL IS LIMITED.

As always, thanks for the help! I found a recent post who someone stated "There are no guarantees any money will be forthcoming after the 180 days are up, increasingly they just keep the money." How much truth is there to this?

Lots and non.

In the USA, you have to do A LOT of things wrong for paypal to keep funds. Being rude, continue to collect funds will delay the release date, having massive rates of chargebacks, making threats to paypal employees to name a few.

Now in the UK, it is more common for paypal to keep funds.

Even after the 180 days they can make it difficult to withdraw funds, but I have not came across impossible yet.

I've got 5 accounts holding money now, you'll see me on the news with a machete outside their office if they don't give me it after the 180 days

But what if they wont allow to withdraw even after 180 days passed? Because I have got 1 account in which I am going to send them email to allow me to withdraw as they are asking id docs, which I cannot provide. and other account is already been for 180 days, still they say, we wont allow you to withdraw.

Just keep emailing them or go on their facebook, I've not had a issue with paypal but a bookmaker in the uk weren't letting me withdraw even with legit ID and they soon did after me and 10 friends started spamming their facebook and twitter

Same: 5 accounts limited with over £3k in total sitting.

180 days is a lot of time for funds to be just sitting. Why do they do this? what does PP do in those 180 days?

making sure you don't get chargebacks. 180 days is the standard USA Credit card chargback policy.
