Hello everyone I am new to this forum and I am going to explain what happened to me because this new AUP fine **** is real and no one here is lying

I had 1 PayPal with 13,000 dollars in it and PayPal wiped the balance on the 178th day before I could withdraw the money. I also had a 2 accounts with 61,000 dollars and PayPal wiped the money completely on the 178th day. Both accounts say "Payment to PayPal acceptable use policy damages" I called papal and they said i basically need to sue them! I have also hired a lawyer to write a demand letter from PayPal which got me no where. All PayPal did was respond with a reply back to my lawyers email saying that we need to send them a subpoena in order to request info about an account. I have sent PayPal multiple letters through the better business bureau and all I got was a response saying that I violated PayPal acceptable use policy and that they can take up to 2500 damages. They also said the reason they took the money was because i was selling "fortnite video game accounts" They are not being clear at all because currently they have tooken a grand total of 74,000 dollars from me in acceptable use policy damages. I am currently in the process of calling my local police and filing a fraud report against PayPal. I am also in talks with lawyer and currently setting up a retainer with lawyer to sue them.

Now to explain further i thought I was a one in a lifetime case for this and I was convinced the company Epic Games who makes fortnite contacted paypal about my business and they were the ones who issued a fine to me. But it turns out this is just PayPal doing it by themselves

I have contacted Epic Games and they said they have no problem with my business at all and did not do any of this.

The worse part about this is I have more money in PayPal and I have no clue if there going to wipe me clean.

I also have another friend rn who was selling the same products as me and we are literally neighbors and PayPal took 20,000 dollars from him for acceptable use policy violations

If your PayPal has a high risk limitation they will not wipe the money because my high risk one was able to withdraw with no issues right after I was issued a fine

THIS **** IS CRAZY BEWARE DO NOT GET AN ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY VIOLATION ON PAYPAL ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY ARE WIPING THE ACCOUNTS CLEAN. THIS 2500 DOLLAR FINE POLICY HAS BEEN ON PAYPALS SITE FOR YEARS BUT THEY ARE FED UP AND ARE FINALLY IN FORCING IT

Basically 1000+ different things PayPal won't like. Best of luck reading that and guessing if your items are or aren't against their AUP policy.

Just wanted to give an update on my case I showed above. I spoke with my lawyer who is very connected- she is one of the best here in Mass. I know everyone is in different places but she informed me my demand letter and case we are going to send and fight for will be in regards to this law:

“The Massachusetts Consumer Protection Law
Massachusetts has a statute that specifically enables the Attorney General and consumers to take legal action against unfair or deceptive conduct in the marketplace, called Massachusetts Consumer Protection law, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93A.


What violates the Consumer Protection Law?
Many consumers are unaware of the rights they are entitled to under the Massachusetts Consumer Protection law, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93A. Likewise, many merchants may not fully understand their responsibilities under this law.

The law does not define any specific business actions that violate the law; rather it states that “unfair or deceptive practices” are illegal. Although each case is judged on its own merits, some examples of unfair or deceptive practices that might fall under Chapter 93A would be when:

A business fails to tell you relevant information regarding your product or service or misleads you in any way.“

She is in the process of writing up a demand letter and proceeding with this violation that they mislead me to believe I would get my money after 180 days and then withdrawing a week before was deceptive and in MA against this law.

Will send another update when I get one. In the meantime I would check and see if your state has any laws regarding this and it can’t hurt to send a demand letter to try and get some answers since I still have yet to receive any reply from any of their departments.

"there is an open dispute associated with this transaction": same BS message as when they closed my account, nothing new.

what is your PAYPAL balance now?
Is it negative 2804.74?
if it is negative,then you must have no money in your account ,so now it turns negative when Paypal debits 2804.74 .
Did you get an email asking you to bring the account to neutral?
Whatever military collectible you sold may be fine with EbaY but not fine with Paypal.
What exactly is the item and where is the buyer?

This is important too: Is there anyone have this charge back after Dec 31st?

The first news I received was they only do this on fiscal year of 2019. If nobody is experiencing this issue on 2020 or after Quarter 1 of 2020, then the news is reliable

i also had $1778 and i was limited for 180days, on the 180days when i loged in i met $0.

i'm yet to see anypne this happened to in 2020 or 2018.

i think this only affected people whose funds were due during december 2019.

From the sources I've been talking to it was near the end of 2019 when PayPal was siphoning all the money in some limited PayPal account's and leaving the account with a 0.00 balance.

I also heard that it was UK PayPal accounts that were getting hit the hardest with ''PayPal's damages caused by Acceptable Use Policy Violation'' where they take all your money from your limited PayPal account along with other Europe countries getting that.

It only makes since because here in the U.S we can not only take them to court but counter sue them for more money than what was originally taken.

I remember when PayPal settled a class action lawsuit back in 2016 for doing improper account holds they had to shell out $440.00 USD extra to each account that qualified for that and that was just for limiting accounts for no reason and paying that amount for that.

PayPal has to realize that this damages policy I'm going to take all your money is way, way worse.

It will be very interesting to see if they keep doing it because it's immoral and unethical.
