Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

Note : Live in USA
Ok guys,

I have over a dozen paypal accounts to withdraw money from these next 90 days. all are not in my name except for one and some have good bank info and some do not have any.

First account is MINE from Dec 1st and has $30K in it. That is the only slam dunk since it is in my name and social.


Quick question for veterans: is it 180 from your last sale or 180 from the date you receive "you are perm banned". Only reason why they do the 180 in the first place is for chargebacks. I was reading the "clock starts" when you receive the email you are perm banned versus being "limited" and not making any additional sales. I understand if you are limited and making sales still until the 45 day window closes that 180 will begin from the date of your last sale.


Ok, any horror stories out there about not getting the money or having mismatch name problems?

Also, if I have say $5,000 in there, do I remove 1,000 at a time or do I have to remove the full $5,000 at once?

I have TD bank and bank of america tied to most of these.

Please any info will be greatly appreciated!

For me it has been 180 days from the limitation notice where they ask for docs or permanently limit my account, regardless of whether or not I am able to continue selling or they "further limit" my account.

I have heard about people with no bank info having trouble adding a bank to withdraw money after the 180 days is up. I've personally only done it twice. I called up and didn't have an issue asking them to add my bank on to withdraw funds. I think in most instances you will be fine.

The most I have had trapped in any single limited PP is 5k and I withdrew it all at once. I cannot speak for higher amounts.

I have 14k and got limited 2 months ago . I hope I wont have any problems I should be able to withdraw the money in september .

do you have to add a bank to withdraw your money or can I use my already bank I use with that acccount ??

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

Thanks for the information! The highest I have not in my name is ~8K. was the 5K in your name or stealth?

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

It is my understanding you can use your account (as long as it is a real bank that you have moved money before to) and you are in good shape.

My concern is moving $14K in one lump sum and a name mis-match from the bank how would you proceed then?

I am assuming it is a stealth or is the 14K in your name?

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

hi , yes its a stealth and I did withdraw money with my real bank before it got limited. I will withdraw in 2 separated withdral cause bank have a 10k max per transaction . I dont see any problem .

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

1. 180 days after you get your INITIAL limitation e-mail where they require for more information.

They say 180 days after your last transaction , but you will get an auto e-mail after 180 days. Do not complicate things just for a few days. It is not worth it.

2. You will be allowed to withdraw as much as you want. Your paypal will look the same but you will be able to withdraw like you did before. 10$, 100$, no problem.

3. For Europe it is easy to add a bank and confirm account after 180 days. No question asked. I can't speak for others countries yet. I never had a limited in US

So while an account is limited and for 45 days I am low risk.....add the bank account now or wait until the funds are released and there won't be a problem?

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

Add the bank account as soon as possible.

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

The 5k was not in my name, it was stealth details. A working bank account was already attached before the limitation occurred.

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

If the bank account on the pp is still valid, you can use it

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

It is 180 days from the last payment you received.

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

So I am down to 10 days until 180 days for my $30k.

My new "business model" is creating a new stealth, adding a bank, waiting for it to become limited.....where they give you 45 days until it is high risk....and then I attach to ebay and bonanza accounts and run it into the ground until it is perm limited. Time is money and I rather have it tied up for 6 months than nickel and dime it for a quarter of the year.....so far no problem up to $6K with hopefully another couple of weeks before they pulled the plug.

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

Others have contradicted this belief.....when you are PERM banned it says 180 days from the last sale I know....however others have told me it is 180 days from the first limitation.... ; I will post it for sure when I have a dozen stealths I am about to withdraw from in the next month or so.

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

How ****ing much do you earn that you are leaving THAT much money there? I feel terrible leaving £200 there, and I make decent money :D

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

Just a really dumb mistake. 13 years, zero problems with paypal and didn't even realize I had that much $$ in there. Obviously it was my downfall or else I would most likely still be ok today....and what a pain in the A$$$$$ it has been since that happened.

Down to 8 more days until it is (hopefully!) released!

All the best.

And for those hoping for 45 days - that's not the standard...it's kind of rare

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

Thanks!

That account isn't stealth, that is my real info so it is the only sure thing I have going lol.

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

Ah ok - well get backup accounts started

I figure I am going to take out around $4k at a time of the $30K.

This 30K was recognized in 2016 and I already paid taxes on it from the 1099 i received.

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

There are none! you will be fine after 180 days
I was so stressed but after it happened to me like 5 times im chilling

Re: Horror stories about 180 day $ removal
 

All stealth? Did you have a bank account prior to being limited/banned?
