Can I withdraw funds from a stealth paypal account to my bankaccount?
 

I had a paypal that was limited with 535.70 back in March of 09. I recently linked it to my chase bank account and it said it was succesful. Next I tried to withdraw $535.00 and it said it was fine. The next day I check my chase account no evidence of anything ever going though. No declined transations or reversal. So I go to paypal and see they reversed it. Why was this? Was it because of my stealth name on the paypal? I have done this before back when Chase was WaMu and it worked perfectly. Does chase no longer allow this? Or could it have been that I tried to withdraw too much? I am going to try a smaller amount and see if it allows me.

If anyone has any info on this let me know. If its because Chase doesn't allow stealth accounts to be connected anymore then could you reccomend a new one?

Thanks.

EDIT: Just tried again a few minutes ago and instantly was denied the withdrawl again, this time a lesser amount. Also I checked my email and I got a letter that says:


For the safety and security of the PayPal network, we often review accounts
for potential risks. After reviewing your account, we have decided to close
it because of security issues.

We are making every effort to minimize any disruption to your business.

If your PayPal account balance is zero, and you have no unresolved buyer
complaints or chargebacks, your account will remain limited.

Disbursement options
-----------------------------------

Option 1. If you owe refunds to any of your buyers, you can use the money
in your PayPal account to refund them.

To refund your buyers:
1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click "Contact Us" at the bottom of any page.
3. Click "Contact Customer Service."
4. Under "Choose a Topic," select "Sending/Receiving Money."
5. Under "Choose a Subtopic," select "Refund/Cancel a Payment."
6. Click "Continue" and follow the instructions to refund payments.

Option 2. Money in your PayPal account will be held for 180 days. After 180
days, we'll email you information on how to receive your funds.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

Thanks,

I would just recommend trying amounts smaller than 500 since that seems to be the magic threshold number.

Until the 180 days are up I don't think you can withdraw it *anywhere*.

You're telling me you withdrew funds from a freshly limited account in the past?

How did you do this, real info or not :confused:

I never withdrew from a freshly limited account.

but as I said the account was limited over 180 days ago originally.(March 09) It sent me an email saying my funds were able to be withdrawn. So I try to withdraw and it just sent me that email saying I had to wait 180 more days??? Whats up with that?

Could it be related to WaMu being absorbed into chase and now the routing number is invalid? If the transfer bounced back to paypal for that reason, paypal would wonder what the h*ll(!!!) and want to clear it up before giving your money to the wrong person.

Just suggesting...

Thanks guys, it just seems like the amount I tried to withdraw was too large. Tried 2 smaller amounts and worked perfectly fine.

curious of what amounts those were? I have a limited account that will be 180 days on Nov 8th and was wondering the amounts... also if i added a prepaid credit card or just a credit card, doesn't that lift the $500 restriction that's on any paypal account? I have $2,000 in the account and was wondering how exactly to withdraw it... should I put a credit card on the account and withdraw it in the bank account all 2k? or $250 at a time over a period of time? thanks in advance!

My wamu accounts under Chase works fine for me. Let be certain that you have not use that bank account on another PayPal.
