Paypal "nice currency mistake" with me (Must see)!!
Hey, well, i intended to keep this one for myself, however, since i think this should be read, i'll tell you what Paypal did after they limited me.
NOTE: I'm copying this post and keeping it until I received my 180 days check, right now i'm waiting that payment, so no worries, i wrote this a few weeks ago.
The thing is that i owned over 650 USD from Ebay fees for things that i never sold (some dropshipping scam involved, silly me), so i just "tried" to run away from it and move on with another account, but, as you already know, PP got to my account and THEY WITHDRAWN MONEY TO PAY THE FEES JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER MY 180 LIMIT ARRIVED.
Now, here comes the fun!
I'm already limited on PP, and in a few weeks i'll be able to withdraw my money, whatever, but...
Since i'm from another country (MX), and even if my main currency is on USD, they made the mistake of withdrawing me 650 Mexican Pesos, and not 650 USD!!
I even received the mail saying that, and checked the PP account!!
So, in case you don't know it, 650 Mexican Pesos are over 55 USD, maybe a lil bit less, that's what they took from my PP account, and not the 600 USD something they were intended to.
Yeah, i owned fees, so they tried to withdrawn A FEW WEEKS BEFORE i could withdraw my money, pretty fair i guess, they made a mistake and now it seems i already can run with it, not my fault, but theirs.
Now, what do you think? I'm pretty sure this was LUCK + An idiot PP rep. doing his job, maybe a lesson for all the non-US / European residents like me.
PD By the way, i'll let you know if i could withdraw my money after 180 days, it's supposed to be ready next week.
