Paypal limited, no email from them

[nodeal]

my paypal account got limited, it had more in it than should've been sitting in there.

I never received any email from ebay about this limitation. Nothing. I had to log on to see it.

It says I am limited because of "sudden shifts in business practices." They ask me to provide, ID, invoices, the moon, and the stars. It's a stealth account and I cannot provide any of these things.

Will my funds be released after the typical 180 day wait? I have a VBA attached, so I will need to add a real bank. My plan is to wait the 180 days out, then add real bank account and withdraw to there. Is this a good plan?

My only concern is that reading through the forums, some members are reporting that adding a new bank is not working, and it keeps asking them to log in in a never-ending glitchy loop. Any way to predict whether this will happen with me or not?

I really appreciate any insight, thanks guys.

Yes, its likely that your funds will be released in 180 days (although theres no guarantee of this). Once you fail to supply the required documents and details, they will permanently limit your account, then the 180 days will begin.

Regard Bank Account adding, you wont know until you are able to add an account, however, they will manually add it if the system glitches, but this will mean a phone call when your funds are eventually released for withdrawl

account is gone so is the ebay really, better to use a new account and new paypal

as all subsequent paypals will also be limited, may last 2 months or 3 months but eventually will be closed

I am wondering...a light guess...perhaps PP did a test deposit on the bank or found out it was VBA and limited it...just a guess really but I am wondering if that system might have implemented something like that to weed out VBAs

rsot, it is possible. No real sure way to tell, we can only speculate.

How can I tell the difference between a limitation requesting documents, and a permanent limitation with the 180 day countdown? As far as i can tell, my account is fully, permanently limited.

I have had instances before where they asked me to provide documents, and if I didn't provide such documents by a certain date then I would have further account restriction. However, on the PP account I am talking about now, I never received any notice or email. Just a limitation. So does my 180 days start from the time I was limited?

Seems PayPal are having a little bit of a blitz right now.

180 days starts from date of limitation.

If you have been permanently limited, (in your shoes) I would call and feel them out - some ppl have had success recently with reinstatement - few posts around...
