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

mantisinc · #**111** 07-21-2008

Give it until tomorrow, as the 21st isn't really over - and if it's still being held, I'd give them another ring.

greg2414 · #**112** 07-21-2008

Yeah just give them a few days, they wont rush for you. It's a bit like the tax office, quick enought o take money from you but when it comes to giving it back.

ebayhateluv (or anyone who knows),

I have had limited accounts that have lapsed the 180 days, and have been able to do a bank withdrawal to get my money finally. But, the amounts were low (<$100) because I refunded all of the buyers whose product had not been sent out at the time of limitation. Also, I owed a fair amount of fees as well, much more than the $100. Here's my question:

If I wait the 180 days and have a larger balance being held (>$1,000), and owe Ebay fees on the account that yielded those payments (more than the Paypal balance), will I still be able to withdraw the money in 180 days?

I have not "linked" the accounts FROM WITHIN EBAY (that I know of), only added an "auction account" in Paypal (for the purpose of inserting Paypal logos and the such?). Also, I have never paid my fees WITH my Paypal account (or at all for that matter).

ebayhateluv? Modee? aspkin?

Thank for any help!

I have a Paypal account limited but it still can accept payments. I was wondering if anyone had problems collecting their money after the 180 day hold period? I don't necessarily need the money now and have some stuff I'd like to get rid of without having to worry about feedback since it's just going to get permanently limited anyway.

Also, I'm assuming I'm stuck here. I'm on the second limitation after getting past the 2 out of 3 one. This is the verify land line phone number, social security number, and then just phone number. I don't have a social security number for the name and the address is completely ⊗⊗⊗⊗ which means I can't verify the phone number or receive the letter they're sending. I'm not sure if I call if I can convince them to send the letter somewhere where I can get it, but even if I manage to do that I still would have to get around the social security number issue.

Anyway, any insight or experience would be appreciated.

You can also just sign the back of the check, then write Pay to the order of: [your name] then sign again, then deposit it in your own account. Been doing this since I was a kid.

:D

I believe it's 180 days from permanent limitation, but what if you go down with the equivalent of the Jack Dempsey/Gene Tunney infamous "slow count"? Then what?

It would seem from the many posts that I have read in this thread that it would apply to limited as well as permanently limited accounts. If anyone has had their claim denied because their account wasn't permanently limited please let us know!

Has anyone figured this one out yet?

I'm surprised that none of the wizards of smart were able to answer this one by now

imthatguy · #**119** 12-11-2008

it would be the limited

suspendedagain · #**120** 12-11-2008

The 180 days start from your LAST TRANSACTION not when they limited or totally blocked your account.
So check you last transaction, be it a recieved or sent payment, thats the date you need to go by, wait the 180 days and email them or phone them to remind them its been 180 days since your LAST TRANSACTION

EDIT: my thread was merged over here, i found my answer thanks!

Long story short, i try to bypass the SS# when my account got limited, but they woudlnt allow it. I spoke to them on the phone, and they said I have to wait 180 days to get my money.

I was wandering when does the 180 day hold begin? Will i receive another notice from paypal? It's already been three weeks.

keeponkeepinon · #**122** 12-18-2008

Has anyone had an account that has NOT received the money after 180 days? I'm particular interested in anyone who has done this with a very high balance. (5K+) Thanks!

malchiang · #**123** 12-19-2008

i was supposed to receive a large payment above $6000 from epn yesterday but paypal was limited permanently due to what they call "high risk activities" anyone know why is that so? I had checked paypal limited the account at 1am and the epn earnings came in about half hour later at 1.30am. Anyone can advise as paypal does not want to give out any reasons.

yaw1800 · #**124** 12-19-2008

they probably dont have a real reason, which is why they hide behind that "confidentiality" crap... i would advise you to refund the epn and open up another merchant account to get that money .. 6 months is a long ways away from today

problem is that money did not even get into the paypal account, I am afraid now to ask epn to send the money to another paypal as it might happen again, i am based outside of usa so I was thinking of getting a usa bank account to receive the money.

yaw1800 · #**126** 12-19-2008

are the epn people based in the US?
if so, and if you can get a US bank account, have them send you a check (if its ok with them) and just deposit it into the account

malchiang · #**127** 12-20-2008

yes I think they are based in US, problem now is how do I get a US bank account as a foreigner.

Interesting, so after 180 days Paypal send the typical "you may withdraw your funds now" e-mail. But instead of saying basically that they have concluded that your account is at risk and you are indefinitely suspended, they said that since it has been 180 days you may withdraw funds..... BUT paypal still needs more time to decide what they want to do with my account.

Anyone ever get this before?. How long after this do they make a decision on your account..... if ever??

GreenBean · #**129** 12-23-2008

^^^^ Not sure exactly what you mean?
My understanding is that paypal limits an account. You attempt to get the limitation removed. Sometimes this is successful, sadly sometimes not.After some time because paypal does nothing overnight,you usually get a' we find your business high risk' or 'we
hate your hair color' and the account becomes permanantly limited. Then that 180 days comes to play. Can not recall an account just having monies limited for 180 days without communication from paypal

Every day the debit card max comes out without fail.

About the 180 day hold, they do give you your money but you have to request it after the 180 days are up.

If you don't go in and request it, your money will sit in there til kingdom come.

I was able to send mine to my bank account, you also have the option to request a check.

Itzabreeze · #**132** 12-24-2008

Added my flag. I'm in Canada

.

As discussed in this thread I did received my money back after 180 days.... the majority of people on here are saying that although they do get there money back.... paypal bans them at the 180 day mark... Paypal said that I can withdraw funds AND although my account hasn't been banned... it is still limited untill they can conclude there research.

I just assumed that they would usually ban you right away after the 180 days..... OR put your again in good standing.... not for it to be semi-limited after you have been able to withdraw funds and 180 days has passed.
