Cool 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"tried" to run away from it and move on with another account, but, as you already know, PP got to my account and THEY WITHDRAWN MONEY TO PAY THE FEES JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER MY 180 LIMIT ARRIVED.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Yeah, i owned fees, so they tried to withdrawn A FEW WEEKS BEFORE i could withdraw my money, pretty fair i guess, they made a mistake and now it seems i already can run with it, not my fault, but theirs.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.

What do you mean "things that i never sold" and "some dropshipping scam" ?

All the best - sounds like a nice mistake in your favour. I would not rely on your case to be closed until you have your money in your account. Pp and eb have nasty ways of going and fixing past activity.

I find a mistake like this hard to believe. Not saying you are making it up by no means. It must be something misunderstood. I just can not see the system making an error like that

Hmmm, could really be a glitch in the system. Imagine a few slip ups go through the system like that FOR SURE!

Think of the billions of transactions they do each year.

I don't know...maybe it's luck/maybe it's a tale...

Well, believe me, i find it hard to believe too, that's the reason i posted this, because it was worth the reading!

I'm pretty sure they thought my main currency was the other one, now that i think about it, actually my main currency wasn't USD, but mexican pesos, that could explain the mistakes. There must be some system error or something, i'm pretty sure it was a human mistake though.

PD still waiting for my money, in a few days i'll write the outcome.

Anyone from Europe has any experience with PayPal withdrawing their money for eBay overdue fees?

I've got my real PP account closed permanently from May now. Since then I haven't paid the fees for 3 stealth eBay accounts, two of them linked with my real PP account. There is total of $500 to pay eBay.

In the meantime 180 days passed from limitation on my PP account, so I've withdrawn what was left in there. It suprises me I got away with this. I thought eventually they will take what's theirs. I understand PayPal and eBay are two different companies that maybe don't disclose such information to each other, but I remember they are from the same mother, so I can't be sure.

A possible explanation is that I'm from Poland and we've got some pretty twisted laws and regulations that maybe PP cannot use to get the money from me. Or maybe something else. Any clues?

No, PP has no laws really, just look at the horror stories of PP section...since PP is not a bank but an entity and corporation. They are not bound by most laws, this is why the US government wants to regulate them.
