Paypal Appeal Denied
 

Well, my paypal account got limited and I provided all the docs to them. Here is the email I got when I woke up:

For the safety and security of the PayPal network, we often review accounts
for potential risks. After reviewing your account, we have decided to close
it because of security issues.

We are making every effort to minimize any disruption to your business.

If your PayPal account balance is zero, and you have no unresolved buyer
complaints or chargebacks, your account will remain limited.

Disbursement options
-----------------------------------

Option 1. If you owe refunds to any of your buyers, you can use the money
in your PayPal account to refund them.

To refund your buyers:
1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click "Contact Us" at the bottom of any page.
3. Click "Contact Customer Service."
4. Under "Choose a Topic," select "Sending/Receiving Money."
5. Under "Choose a Subtopic," select "Refund/Cancel a Payment."
6. Click "Continue" and follow the instructions to refund payments.

Option 2. Money in your PayPal account will be held for 180 days. After 180
days, we'll email you information on how to receive your funds.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

I have over $2000 in there, is there any way that I can sweet talk them to get my money back.

is it stealth, is name a real one of you or family? and address accessible for check? is a bank attached?

Yes it is stealth, bank account was for verification only, address was some random one I used. So I'm basically screwed!

I have my legitimate checking account attached to my paypal stealth which just got the same cowdung to an extent. They haven't told me to die yet, but they are digging my grave by telling me that I have to wait 180 days for more almost $5,000. Don't they just automatically send a check or transfer to the suspended account?

I heard if you talk to them on the phone they will mail the check to anywhere you tell them. The only problem is that the check is not in my name!

Just add a bank account to the paypal account after 180 days. Works for me each time.

Wha...they let you add I bank account. I thought they do not allow you to add a bank account....

They don't anymore :(

CaptainJack

Yea...that is what I thought. They don't let you add a new bank account when your paypal account is limited.

open a business account in this name eg Scappy coco Ltd, and bank cheque. In Uk it doesnt cost much to make a business and it is useful for future things, the down side is that the taxman will see it. Its possible though..........

My dad already has a business which is an accounting company he opened. It is called Burning Accounting Services Inc. (an example) Would that work if I were to cash in a cheque.

Why did you keep $2000!!!! on a STEALTH paypal account is my question??
C'mon man you gotta be smarter than that. You should have knew that paypal WILL limit you and if your info is 100% ⊗⊗⊗⊗, you are screwed.

What can you do:
You should of used a family members name + address or a friends for the stealth account.

You could call paypal back after 2-3 months. Tell them you have moved to a new house, and you want your remaining funds shipped there. If they deny, keep calling them back, and hopefully a "decent" guy will pick up the phone and help you.

I have no idea what you should do about the name though.

You should of used merchant plus with authorize.net as your gateway for receiving payments. Your money goes straight to your bank account and its ebay approved!

Don't you have a bank account attached to it already?

I still be able to add new bank account in 1 CHINA limited account ,1 HONGKONG limited account and 1 NEW ZEALAND limited account..

Havent try an US one..Havent got a US one limited with money in it.. :pry:..

I can confirm that as of 2 weeks ago, I was able to add a bank account to a limited Japanese account as well.

I just remove $900 from a limited PayPal account. The rep told me if the checking account I have on the account was still active I told her I closed it and if I can add another. She said sure and I added another Bank Account to it and withdraw the money. I did that in November also with a PayPal account that had $600!

Merchant plus doesn't work in Canada

Who told you that you can't add a bank account to limited paypal account? Last time I have added bank account to the limited paypal account was in the end of december and it worked fine for me.

It was news on the fourms a little while back.

I believe it relates to the removal of the option to add a new bank account to a limited US PP account after the 180 days is up.

CaptainJack

P.S. I have done a quick search and it has been discussed and confirmed as correct back to early 09.

CaptainJack

Jack I thought that they let you add a bank account after the 180 period. They have stopped this? Is that for the UK aswell?

The best thing to do for future reference is to keep any bank account already in Paypal for the 180 day period, not to remove it (if possible) Then after the final withdrawal is made cancel the bank account.

I realise this doent help Burnings current position. Burning are you able to update your account details and add and address to somewhere where you can receive a cheque?

Sometimes you can add / amend account details when in a limitation.

If you can add an address to receive a cheque, maybe you can delete it once you have the payment?

I thought you can't withdraw or send funds while your account is limited??

$2k left in a paypal account is a :nono:

that was after 180 days.

I recently added bank accounts to my paypal accounts and was able to withdraw the funds from my accounts after the 180 days.
Twice in the past 2 months. When did this happen , that you can't add a bank account ?

I think that's after the 180 days. I never leave enough money in there to care. I'm a huge fan of their automatic cash sweep tool.

Then its definetely a good tip that IF you already have a bank account attached to Paypal not to remove it if you get a limitation, I know you cant physically remove it but IF you cancel the Direct Debit PP will remove the bank account and then you have the problem of not being able to add another bank account.

So what are the options if they dont let you add a bank account if you are limited and the 180 days has past?

Do they send you a cheque OR can you ring them and get a PP rep to manually add a bank account for you?

Please don't post information on the board that isn't accurate. It only confuses people. You can absolutely add a bank account after 180 days. I've done it dozens of times.

Maybe you can but others have said they haven't been able to.

As I said it has previously been discussed and confirmed.

You are not the only PayPal user in the world and people have different experiences.

So who put you in charge?

CaptainJack

lol...WTF...this thread is back up and running. I have tried to add a bank account but it is not allowing me to. I will try after the 180 days. If jessinkaron added a bank account to his paypal account after 180 days, then there might still be some hope. I will try after 180 days but if not I heard that if you call paypal, they will let you change the address to which the check will be sent out to. Let's see what happens after 180 days is up! I never should have left 2k in my account in the first place.....this is all my fault. I should have split the income between accounts.

PLAY COOL - call them ask why they have limited and what they want from you. if they are requesting for information: proof of ID, proof of address, supplier info etc?? provide them the information asap, if you do not have any, like proof of address, make up one, supplier info make up one, they never check it. worked for me

I already supplied all the info, my account was suspended indefinitely. :tears:

I am sorry to hear that. Recently they limited my account and after i provided all information and called them many times, they restored my account. I still have fear they will do it again....but dont worry, i have a booklet that may help you even when they say they have indefinitely suspended you. Dont give up, by law paypal cannot keep your money for 180 days. i am not sure how to attack the booklet here but i will try to copy and paste if i dont find a way to attach.

If you are genuine person and they are suspending for no good reason, you should call them and speak to supervisor, e-mail seniors explaining your situation & when you speak to supervisor tell them you take further action legally if they dont get back to your within 48 hrs with a decision.... i know someone who was suspended indefnitely, but got his money back. depending on how much money you have, if you have £2000, they can keep £200 in there incase of charge back and give you the remaining. please do not give up! CALL them

What do you guys say ?? is there anyone who agree with me??

Keep us updated & good luck.

I talked to paypal today. I talked to a supervisor and she told me that paypal can end the limitation early after 45 days. She said since it has only been 30 days, she can not do anything. The supervisor told me that I may get my funds after 45 days if I call paypal. But, she said there is no guarantees and the limitation department will look at my account again.

yaz, possible problems are your part about genuine person - we are talking stealth accounts, those have difficulties sometimes, eg. addresses and names for cheques etc..burning however has got it figured hopefully

If Paypal close your account, inform them that you are no longer bound by their terms and conditions and to release YOUR money immediately. If you do not have disputes, they should return all the money. Send a letter threatening legal action if they don't comply. Or tell them you intend to close your account and no longer wish to be bound by their terms.

Well he only has address issue and i am sure he can do something about it. please dont give up....i am glad you called. The problem is when paypal tell us our account is suspended indefinitely, we take no as an answer, we should stand for our rights and speak to paypal....by law they cannot keep our money!!! Act cool, be a gentleman even if are not stealth. Good luck Burning, i hope it works out for you. Also paypal loves to play around, if the supervisor said, they may release your payment, tell her to send it via e-mail in writing so that you a proof later. Call again! keep us updated.

I am going to call them tomorrow again. I am not losing hope. I am going to try to talk to a supervisor. We'll see how things go tomorrow.
