PayPal limited Permanently - after 180 days does PP really send you a check? YES.

If you have a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name, surely the cheque idea is out of the window?

ivegotinfo · #46 02-21-2008

no. you just get the cheque, then go register for a business name under that name, open a bank account under that name, and cash it. then close everything and move on. This of course is only worthwhile if you have more than a few hundred dollars coming in.

Waiiitt.. they also let you deposit it into a bank account.. so no, using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name is still fine with that. my brothers account was suspended for 180 days, and after 180 he added a new bank account, verified with the 2 deposits and then withdrew the money that way. so its all good.

Just had this scenario this week, they point blank refused to issue a Cheque, and they give 2 options.. 1: Bank Transfer (They charge $40 for the pleasure) or 2: Just add a new real bank account and withdraw, i would presume that would flag that bank account as useless, so make sure it's not one you wish to use in the future.

HI:
Funny Story.. My Mom had her (well mine in her name)-- Paypal acct suspended indef. in the summer. It had like less than $200 in it..
--since then, no chargebacks, but Paypal indirect debits..
--She's emailed them (I did ).. about 20 times, asking what is the $23 charge for?, what is the $41 charge for?
--never an answer..
-- The 180 days would have been up this month..
--She gets a call from a collection agency ,NCO last week, saying she owes paypal $6...
---They drained the acct to nothing, the guy that called her was very rude.
-- Ive read on other boards where theyre charging a "storage fee"..dont know if its true or fabricated? But, they sure went thorough her acct ....
AGAIN.. TRYING to do the right thing...guess it doesnt work with these folks.. I guess I should have went through all that .."refunding buyers" routine...
Lesson again..

Huh? So she paid over $2000 in paypal storage fees, in 180 days?

ebayhateluv · #50 02-24-2008

no, less than $200 (hundred)...BUT< i dont think they can call it storage fees, when i get to her i.p. at her house I will go into tthe acct, and copy/paste exactly the verbage...it's like, paypal debit, misc, or something, cant remember right off, and small amts.. about every 3-4 wks..no pattern.

mantisinc · #51 02-24-2008

Ohh goodness, sorry i thought you said 2K

Still, $200 in fees cannot be justifyable at all. If anything the balance should have gone up because of the interest on that money! Do let us know the outcome of this situation, will be VERY interesting to hear.

ebayhateluv · #52 02-24-2008

HI:
OK, heres one of their "fees" during the 180 day wait... just says "correction",,theres 6 of these, resulting in overdrawing the acct by $6...

My paypal was limited for more than 1 year. I found out that I could get my money in the account after 180days. After I withdrawed the money to my bank account, I noticed that my account was totally blocked the next day. And my money had not been received. Anyone can help??

ebayhateluv · #54 02-27-2008

HI- doesnt sound right.. are you missing something??
If they (paypal) told u it was limited for 1 year, theyre wrong, their own agreements say 180 days max,,
--then if they allowed u to transfer the funds, then blocked u, they apparently dont want to do business anymore.
--now, if they NEVER xfer the funds, then theyve reversed the transfer,,sounds like its time to call paypal..
u can get their toll free number from the resolution ctr--go to help/contact us..
Good Luck

thelizardking · #55 02-27-2008

You'll have to call them, sounds like they owe you some money.

koalawash · #56 02-27-2008

They only send you the money after 180 days IF you bug them about it. I guess they just hope people will forget or something LOL

lycee · #57 02-28-2008

I couldnt log in anymore...but i think they did reversed the money
they probabely dont want to return me the money. I haven't used it for 2 years. I cant think any reasons they can block me anymore

sycore · #58 02-28-2008

I think it may be how they split ways. Mine was we no longer wish to do business with you because security concern. I think if you were scamming or doing something illegal, they may try to ignore you. I basically got an email like 5 months later saying your funds are now illegible for withdrawal.

mantisinc · #59 02-28-2008

You really need to ring paypal if you can no longer log in.
Unless all your payments got chargedback?

divine422 · #60 04-17-2008

sometime last year i received about $200 and my paypal account was limited, i abandoned ship because i really did not feel like going to through the regular removing limitation procedures. I totally forgot about the account for a while, checked my email and saw "eligible for withdrawal". Only problem is all of the information on the account was bogus including my name, well it was a variation of my name. So i called up paypal and made up some story about how i moved and i have a new address and give them my moms address they sent the cheque, deposited it today. Very minor vindication, but still sweet.

pauluss · #61 04-18-2008

it may be asking a silly question but when the x6 month limit is up on restricted account is the cheque for PayPal made out in the account holders name ? Can this be changed or not ?

The PayPal account names are not my own so i would have no means of cashing them if the name could not be changed

I have a small amount of money sat in x3 PayPal's that became restricted as a trailed and experimented a few different techniques that is due for release next month

thanks

GreenBean · #62 04-18-2008

Are you on good terms with your bank manager? Why not see if you can deposit the check
in your account. On the back of the check you can write Pay Mr. X to the amount of the value of the check. Disguise the writing of course and you should be able to deposit it.
I have done that with the one check that paypal gave me.

even in the UK a lot of banks will accept what is called 'endorsement'
like this. LOL.

Hi Got around 7 pp account frozen with around 18k on each (around 12/07)after a long 3 great years the thing was that since the accounts got limited with 1k but was still able to received payments i just let it build up until they didn't ALLOW payments to go in anymore thats how they ended with 18k each i just wasn't able to print labels with them but still ship out the goods now here looking for a few players to team up with I got the product need a FEW pp master ,who is looking to make serious $$ or someone who will charge me for their time on a one on one so i can continue with making $$ No to good with computer.. Just knows basic let me know losing 15k per week also after 180 days do they send you email?

scouse12345 · #64 04-18-2008

Yes, they will send an Email, and generally you around, but you will get the $ in the end.. just don't beleive all the ***** they try and tell you..

karenin_2 · #65 04-19-2008

I just got limited account access on my paypal account. I guess my mistake was trying to move $500 all at once to a bank account. The account is set up with false information. I don't think there is any way that I could possibly jump through all of their hoops. I'm sure it has been covered, but I can't find it, so if anyone could answer my question I would really appreciate it. My question is whether it is possible to recover the $700 I have in my account if I fail to jump through their hoops. Is it true that after 180 days I can get my money?

I can't believe this, they want all of the following:

1) Enter your four-digit PayPal code for Visa Card XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-1216
2) Change Password
3) Confirm Bank Account
4) Change Security Questions and Answers
5) Confirm your social security number
6) Confirm Location for Visa Card XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-1216
7) Supplier Contact Info
8) Update your phone number

I think you can now change your address to an address that they will send the money to in six months, but the check will be written out to the person on the account.

I think this is a HUGE profit target for Paypal. They realized if all the people trying to be anonymous could get raped of their money, then they could have a huge windfall over time.

So, they look like good doobies, allowing you to receive your check, but they keep the money when you can't cash the check.
