facing eviction pp 180 day hold
 

Today PayPal locked me up for 180 days. It was the usual situation I sold 2.4k of merchandise like electronics. The situation was I am about to be evicted and I got the stuff with a Walmart credit card. I shipped out the items immediately and uploaded tracking. All the customers got their items. I sold a used ps4, new iPhone, and new MacBook pro. I waited the normal 3 days after delivery B.S. and transferred the money. I transferred the money but the transactions were still pending after 3 days. I knew there was a problem then. They reversed one of the deposits. Long story short I received $677 to my bank account. The last payment was released today so I have $1,800 tied up. I submitted the necessary info but was told it will be 180 days.

Wow. Yeah you left too much money in there for one, and you sold too much too fast. You were supposed to split those sales with other accounts. "Don't keep all your eggs in one basket" is the moral of that story big time.

$2,400 in transactions; ps4, new iPhone, MacBook pro?
Trying to w/d the money as quickly as possible?

What could possibly go wrong?

This activity is considered alarming in PayPal's eyes, esp. on a new account.

Build up your accounts, slow & steady, let the money sit for awhile and w/d it VERY slowly. Spread out your sales over time, etc.
