Stealth transaction gone wrong..any way to save the funds held?
 

Heya! :)

Couple of days ago I transferred some money from my stealth account to my real account.
Shortly after the transaction both paypals were limited and the funds held.
I didn't know at first, because I received no emails about limitation from paypal for either account, I only found out 2 days later when paypal sent me an email "A final reminder to provide information until...".

Now I assume that the stealth paypal is permamently limited, because when I logged in there were no steps to complete in Resolution centre and even though reason for limitation is "we require more information about you" I doubt I will be able to unlimit.

But what I would like to do is save the held funds from being transfered back into my stealth account, because it's kindof an emergency. In my real account, they are asking me to describe this payment (and a couple of others unrelated) as a part of unlimitation process and they also want me to provide information about the payment for their review/inquiry so they can decide what to do with it. But I'm guessing it won't matter what I write here since they are only interested if i have any shipping/tracking which I obviously don't.

What I'm planning to do is call them first thing tomorrow as the "stealth guy", first ask about his account (he received no email so has no idea whats going on) and then see if I can get the payments to go thru, my only hope is that I've received that money a while ago so it shouldn't be considered high risk.

My question is if anybody here has any experience dealing with this issue and can give me any suggestions how to handle this. Thanks! :)

Well, it sounds like the accounts may have been linked somehow. If that happened, then both accounts are permantly limited. The reason that your one account is not is because they want to get all the information about you that they can.

I had this exact same issue. I confirmed the info, showed that the payments were fine. After PayPal received that, they permantly limited the account. You might as well give up on these.

^^^ Agreed.
