So I put up a post earlier today about an issue with my PayPal account being limited over and over again. Well long story short eventually they told me I was permanently banned and restricted and that my funds would be held for 180 days...I was so mad that I started googling and ran across a great post that a guy had put up. Within the post it contained all email addresses of the paypal execs etc. So I sent this email to them all which I will copy and paste now:
RE: Case PP-xxx-yyy-zzz
I am respectfully requesting that the hold on my funds/account be lifted. I am not necessarily requesting that my account be re-opened or allowed to continue to use the PayPal service, as I have already taken my business to your largest competitor and I am no longer in need of PayPal’s services.
I have previously requested a review/appeal of my case which was denied. Although I still disagree with the decision to deny my appeal I will abide by it – however because I feel that holding my funds for 180 days for a non-fraudulent violation of PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy is excessive, and perhaps a punitive abuse of power, I will be filing complaints with the following agencies on Wednesday morning, March 07, 2015 if I am not satisfied with PayPal’s response to this request to release my funds:
(agencies in the states that I reside or have a business presence in)
The California Office of the Attorney General
Consumer Complaint Against A Business/Company | State of California - Department of Justice - Kamala D. Harris Attorney General
The Washington State Office of the Attorney General
https://fortress.wa.gov/atg/formhand...laintForm.aspx
The Florida Office of the Attorney General
Florida Attorney General - Citizen Services Contact Form
The Arizona Office of the Attorney General
Florida Attorney General - Citizen Services Contact Form
Additionally:
The United States Federal Reserve
What do I need to know before I file a complaint? | Federal Reserve Consumer Help
(I understand that PayPal does not operate as a “bank” which is precisely why they may be interested in such complaints)
The Better Business Bureau:

All complaints will be filed “online” Wednesday morning march 07, 2015 and written copies will also be sent via certified postal mail unless I am happy with the outcome of this situation.
Regards,
Now obviously i got back the usual automated responses bu then 8 hours later i got an email saying that they would release my funds in 90 days instead of 180, i was happy but i continued to keep the pressure on with another formal email and then they said they would release my funds after 1 month!! once that month was over i emailed them and BANG!!! i had £3,000 released for withdrawal
