STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

Hi,

my account was limited for 180 days and my funds is supposed to be available by next month..

i check the account and see that paypal took my funds. I have been reading that some people have sent out a legal letter to Paypal's department in San Jose and have gotten good feedback.

Does anyone have any more recent experience and success with this?

Here is the thread I was able to find

Were u selling digital goods? Lots of reports on that they do this with digital goods.

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

No i do not sell digital products

how much funds did you had?

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

I had about 9k

9k! Man alive...

Did you constantly log in to see it slowly disappear, or it all went at once?

And yes, take legal action if theres no explanation for that sort of money.

i can't comment on this, other than..It's never happened to me, and I've been AUP suspended before. I suspect...It's something to do with drugs or something illegal.

Who leaves $9k sitting in their PP account unless drugs are somehow involved?

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

I've been saying who leaves this and that over the year but the reality is I am guilty of letting funds build up as well now all because it's such a chore maintaining multiple stealths and ensuring you have enough to always handle refunds etc.

It can happen to anyone.

The question is what category of items were you selling ? as that will be the reason why the AUP kicked in.

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

9k... that is sickening. Even if the money was for something illegal - how can PayPal just take those funds??

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

"how can PayPal just take those funds??"

Because the user violated the AUP.

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

So they just get to keep the money and line their pockets with it?

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

they set those fund aside for lawsuits,fines and libels,chargebacks after 180 days.

It's like this copyright holder sues PP, PP gives them your money.

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

So is there no way to get that money back?

im seeing people posting about writing a legal letter to sort of threaten that they will sue paypal and paypals will usually send back their funds after that is received since they do not want to deal with the lawsuit.

But i have not gotten any confirmation about anyone actually successfully doing this.

Can anyone shed light on this?

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

What category were your sales? Don't need to get into specific items

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

Paypal legal dept and outside law firms (clerks) take care of these cases.
Did they send you email ?

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

VERO stuff

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

No emails.

Im thinking of sending a legal letter from LetterDash
$200 for a letter.

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

is it a stealth account?

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

No

But if it were a stealth account, would I not be able to go through with it?
What documents do companies like Letter Dash require before submitting a letter?

Re: STOLEN FUNDS - PayPal's Damages Caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation
 

Ah alright - makes sense from PP standpoint then - I'm not saying PP is right but yes the ToS has been violated.
