Paypal Limited - PayPal Limitations - the Definitive Thread on what to do, what not

[philly387]

just call them and get it straightened out. The sooner they leave feedback, the sooner you will get your money. Or just call them and get the money sooner. Sometimes they hold money if the buyer has a problem with his account.

[djmuggs]

but this account is under a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name, are they going to be asking me questions like SSN?

[philly387]

i dont think they have ever asked for my ss#...but i also havent talked to them in 3-4 months probably

[djmuggs]

I am hoping they just say their investigating when really they will just hold the funds for 21 days until the buyer either says something bad about the exchange, and if he doesnt (which he wont) they will just release the funds to my account.

[philly387]

Is it a "Ship Now" hold or "PayPal Hold" or what does it say along with the transaction?

[djmuggs]

One of the benefits of using PayPal is that we make every effort to alert
you to potentially problematic transactions. Our goal is to help you make
sound business decisions.

A review of recent transactions indicates that you may have received an
unauthorized payment. This means that the PayPal account holder may not
have authorized the payment you received.

We would like to learn more about this transaction. Please log in to your
PayPal account and provide some information.

We strongly advise that you not ship the item until our investigation is
complete. If you have already shipped the item, please log in and let us
know where you shipped it.

We have placed a temporary hold on the funds until the investigation is
complete.

If the PP account holder didn't authorize the payment, who else could have? I don't think someone is just going to randomly send you money. That is messed up. Did you contact PP at all?

[djmuggs]

yeh awaiting a response...

it says in the email that PAYPAL did it, for security purposes...

they think maybe the sender didnt authorize the payments?

[topazcorp]

maybe it was a hijacked account?

[djmuggs]

idk hopfully not, because he did send it from 2 accounts.

Iam pretty sure its just a automatic security procedure.

[Ballsack]

It's possible the buyer logged in with a completely different ip which caused the hold. Just refund, explain to the buyer and have them resend the money.

[imthatguy]

Djmuggs? Did you actually think you were going to get that money? Have you not read this forum.. Any new accounts with paypal more then likely will get a hold placed on it

[djmuggs]

well i had a feeling that the 700 sent to the new account would be held, but the 1000 that i received on my 4 year old fully verified 200+ trans paypal account got the funds held aswell.

Hi, I created like 5 accounts... and I used gift cards that I bought from stores.

One of my account, I was able to raise limit ... so no problem

but other accoutns, even though I added and confirmed credit cards i still have 500 limits..

when I check credit card profile I see gift credit card with confirmed. But I still got 500 limit

and of course I added bank account...

any advice? How can I raise limit without SSN? Can I do it with regular gift card? Is there Gift card that works? or USE VCC?

[djmuggs]

well thanks for looking on the bright side.

[jerkyboy1]

sounds like pp gave you the big bang. why would you accept some of the money to a new account when your old account was fine?

I got this email from PayPal today.

Oh crap... it has $3,000 in it. :( I guess it's time for me to start fresh again.

[cktwo45]

Yes. You will able to get the funds after 180 days but $500/month only

[TGMT²]

Do they actually send it or do they deposit it in your bank accout on file?

Or do you have a choice?

Is it automatic or do you have to request the money?

[adl0816]

Is my account really limited permanently? It doesn't even say anything in my account. I will call them tomorrow and find out.
