I ask because I had other accounts get limited after this, and 180 days later I was able to get the funds.......

So has anyone had any success with court or a demand letter? I was new to PayPal and had only taken 4 transactions, 3 from my kids/wife and then 1 from a Kobe jersey I sold on eBay for $5700
Immediately after that eBay transaction they shut it down because that transaction was not normal for my account, even though it was eBay and they saw the item was delivered and feedback left they still kept it shut down.
Fast forward to the $ being released on 7/6 and I didn't see it til 8/8 and I log in to retrieve it only to see that the money was taken on 8/6
I have no idea what to do now

PAYPAL could have linked your account with another account which owed PAYPAL money,is there anyone in your family say your spouse or ex spouse had an account with Paypal?
where does your money come from?



I wish I were a machine,I would make more money.
but thanks for the compliment,nevertheless

were you selling copyright items?
https://gbatemp.net/threads/cease-an...paypal.339398/

Under the Acceptable Use Policy, PayPal may not be used to send or receive
payments for items that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right
of publicity or privacy, or any other proprietary right under the laws of
any jurisdiction. This includes transactions for devices that allow
domestic video game consoles to play back-up or import versions of games,
such as mod chips, game enhancers, boot disks and methods that allow
multiple digital television receivers to access subscription television
services.

The complete Acceptable Use Policy can be found at the following URL:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?....locale.x=en_US

the policy is published on its site,it has nothing to with linking to another account ,BUT then,may be your brother is doing something which violates the policy??

with memo "PayPal's damages caused by AUP violation".

Please do not ever stack up PayPal balance.
Always transfer to your actual bank immediately.

They define in their User Agreement they will take action "in our sole discretion".
They vaguely define various violations.

According to their user agreement, they can do literally anything they want to do your account at any time, any actions, not even revealing what was the exact "violation".

Have fun searching "sole discretion" in this document:

WARNING PAYPAL LINK

https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mp...agreement-full

This is just insane.
They are acting like a government & court & police at the same time.

In short they took my $12k without warning or proper reasons.
They are criminals.

US need to take a big action against PayPal.
Again, this, is, insane.

I had a stealth account permanently limited over 180 days ago. When I went to withdraw the funds to my bank, I see that they transferred all of my funds to themselves and this was in the notes for the transaction:

"Payment to: Paypal; PayPal's damages caused by Acceptable Use Policy violation."

I had zero chargebacks and they didn't claim what the so-called "damages" were, they just stole my balance a week before my 180 days was up, and I received no notification.

Before I call them, for whatever good that will do, I'm asking if anyone here has any experience with this. I Googled the exact sentence "PayPal's damages caused by Acceptable Use Policy violation" and couldn't find it, so is this new or was it just for me special? I assumed it would have happened to a lot of other folks and someone here would be mentioning it...

I'm new here but a victim as well. Not as much as some of you, but $5600 that I was told would be available after 6 months - to ensure no disputed transactions - then they just took it.

Has anyone had any success in retrieving their funds? How are they protected against a Class Action Suit? From everything I'm reading, it sounds like there would be a huge one justified.

For all who wonder about getting the money paypal stole. Read my previous threads
1) send them a letter of intent, stating you will sue them in small claims court, explain your reasons, make a strong case, that what they are doing is illegal. which it is.
2) wait, usually after 30 days they will send you an email stating your acct has been reinstated. then they will send you another email that your balance was reinstated.
3) withdraw balance. NEVER KEEP MORE IN PAYPAL THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO LOOSE!!!
good luck

180 days limitation regular vs AUP are 2 different things.

You seem to have gotten the regular one, so wait it out and withdraw.
