Structural incompetence is a real problem with PayPal

Hahaha I like this statement, very funny but unfortunately this is the reality.

That is good effort and sharing of experience - wow!

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

Thanks for the post. I really really appreciate the help here

I was able to get my account recovered by complaining on BBB. Although it's my 2nd time file such complaint, I literally could not have done this without your post and detailed info.

Thanks again !!

I didn't get any response after mailing paypal, is it normal?

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

Op said he tried it even it's a UK account.

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

Congratulations to me and thank you all that have contributed to this thread with informations that I used in restoring my account.

I first filled a complaint on BBB and financial ombudsman on 7th of June though it wasn't really written properly. I emailed executiveoffice@paypal.com, aup@paypal.com, ppelce@paypal.com, ppelce@paypal.co.uk, complaints@paypal.com, escalation@paypal.com, crc@paypal.com and Europeanservice@paypal.com later that day with a better composed email (modified @darkhound and @majorflv templates...... thanks buds). On the same day i got an email from email from Aup saying they would look into my case, I also got a message from my account chat saying the same. Later that day I got a message from the account chat saying that the decision is final that I violated AUP by selling or buy tobacco, weapons, alcohol, adult materials or any type of fraud attempt as well as hiding actual geo location of which I did none of those. On the 8th I filled a better complaint to BBB and financial ombudsman, the next day I got a message from paypal saying my account has been restored. Thank you OP for this thread, ciao.

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

Hi, this morning I woke up with the notification that PayPal permanently limitated my company Business account. Let me specify that i live in Italy, Europe. At first i thought it might have been due to some issue linked with some bad client or stuff like that even if i was very surprised. My business is really clean and probably never had any issue in 3+ years im moving x00000€s each year but, due to the big amount oftransactions, you never know what might have been the problem.After a while i noticed that (at the same hour 1.08am) also my personal account was limited(6+ years old, 155€ balance) , my mum account was limited (8+ years old, 10k€ balance) and my girlfriend's one too(4+ years old, 0€ balance), all of them were used on the same devices I use my company one, which I thought was the problem that affected all the others.

After a couple hours i got a text from a close friend that he had been limited too(at 1.17am). I used that account on some of my devices in the past, proabably 2+ years ago. His account recently had some sort of issue and his balance is currently -5€. Basically he had some automatic payments (spotify, apple and stuff like that) that failed due to lack of funds on linked bank. We then investigated and found out that also 2 other people that used his account in the past (or he used theirs) were limited(still at 1.17am). We are still waiting answers from his dad and other people that could have been affected by this issue.

So my guess is that those credit problems he had, even though we are talking about very small amounts and that sounds weird, let the system to permantently limit him and then automatically limited all the accounts somehow linked to the same devices and stuff like that. That explains why "my" accounts were affected despite nothing different than usual was done with them.

To sum up, one account seems to have caused the permanent limit to at least 6 other accounts. My main aim now is to recover at least the business one first as I daily use it for working. What's your opinion about the possibility of this happening? At the end of the day everything seems to be linked to something which did not involve at all any of my (or my relatives) accounts.

I already emailed service@paypal.com, executiveoffice@paypal.com, aup@paypal.com, dan.schulman@paypal.com, ppelce@paypal.com and crc@paypal.com asking to lift the ban (i didnt mention the whole problem yet, just asked to lift the ban as i have never violated the Acceptable Use Policy). I would also hear opinions about sharing the whole story or not.

Should i also file a BBB complaint or should i wait some time to try to get it sorted? If you also can recommend any other post I could read to get help i would really appreciate. Shall I do the "procedure" to try lifting the ban for all the accounts (https://www.aspkin.com/forums/paypal...-day-hold.html) togheter, separate but simultaneously or just do one by one?
Is it possible that a couple euro negative balance could have lead to all this whole situation?

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

1 penny negative balance will lead to suspension....

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

Hey. It's great that you have already done your own investigation, but not sure why you didn't include your findings in your emails. They won't do the work for you unless you go through the BBB (for US accounts) or other legal means.

You should address your business account and the source account (with the negative funds). I don't have experience with this cause of limitation, but I would assume it's fixable. Meanwhile, explain everything regarding your business account, since it's not actually associated with your friend.

Good luck :thumb:

"Is this still effective in 2024?"

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

I once mailed to PayPal Escalations in 2021 (Non US/UK),

I received the following response below (since then I didn't tried any further attempts):

Dear Gopa Kumar,

Thank you for your recent correspondence to PayPal dated July 5, 2021. I was able to see that one of my colleagues as well as myself have previously addressed your concerns.

As the account in question was created and is located in India, it is outside the scope and jurisdiction of this office. Please use this link; https://www.paypal.com/in/webapps/mpp/home and click on "Contact" at the bottom of the page. You can get to this website anytime by going to www.paypal.com and clicking on the flag in the lower right hand corner of the page and selecting "India" from the list of countries.

Stop hijacking threads. Please make your own thread and ask your questions there

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

Just updating in case someone is trying the 'email Paypal' method, at least for UK, they will not do anything about it whatsoever. If you have been soft limited, and then permanently limited right after uploading all the neccessary details (like literally, seconds or minutes after uploading), they will just keep messaging you through their system saying there's nothing they can do

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

I feel it is beating a dead horse too in this case as I have never had a good outcome from Paypal cases. I have called and emailed, so I assy it has the same here in the US as it is there.

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

If it's just soft limitation I'd say 50/50, but if they hit you with PERMANENT, it's basically you against the world lol

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

This is a rare event, i have had nothing but issues with paypal and stopped using them. Sometimes there would not be any error but it would just refuse to allow certain operations

Re: [Guide] [Account Restored] Permanent Limitation (with 180-day hold)
 

is there any complaint organization like BBB for EU paypal, the paypal account is registered in Germany

this website is for Data complaint,

Your complaint must concern personal data about you that was collected in a covered country and received in the United States by a Participating Business.

Alright - thanks for the clarification; looked interesting when I saw it initially
