Account unlocked after 180 days, but money was stolen or taken by Paypal
 

I ask for help, I do not understand what happened.
06/23/2021 I received a letter that my money is unlocked and I can withdraw it, a little less than 180 days have passed.
Today I went to Paypal and found that my balance was 0, although I had $ 1.5 thousand
In the history of transfers, I saw that my money was transferred on 05/26/2021
There is no address where the money was transferred, I don’t understand anything, I don’t know English well, I attached a photo, tell me if Paypal took my money for himself or scammers stole my money.
This account I bought is not my real data and there was someone else's bank account, I was going to link another bank account and withdraw money.
No one except me had access to the account.
What should I do now, I lost money?https://skr.sh/i/260621/xnk0C6G1.jpg...2018:16:39.jpg

read the Memo line,you violated Paypal AUP policy and they took the money to protect themselves .
what did you sell?

I told you she was one of a kind.

I already realized that it was Paypal who stole my money.
I was selling a digital item, but in the entire 180 days there were no disputes or chargebacks open.
Who faced this did you manage to get your money back? What should I do?

Nobody has been able to get their money back if it's taken by Paypal themselves. Your only chance may be lawyers but that means you genuinely didn't break any rules.

They took that money because they feel like you violates their terms.

And lawyers aren't necessarily free...

I heard there are cases where the seller gets his money back,usually case involved 5 figures or more.
Paypal AUP is to protect Paypal,you can review its AUP list on its website.

I'm assuming if you tried to fight this somehow, this would be your roadblock. Simply using a not real name is enough to violate their AUP and have them take all your money. You got off pretty easy OP as many people here have lost tens of thousands of $'s through Paypal's shenanigans.

Re: Account unlocked after 180 days, but money was stolen or taken by Paypal
 

yes, you lost that money and it's highly unlikely for you to get it back.

Moving on is my best advice

Yeah that's the new way for Paypal to scam when they locked account for 180 days.

Funds are gone for good. Many here have lost much, MUCH more. My 8 year old account was suddenly terminated with a few thousand $ in it. I was only doing weekly withdrawals when I should've emptied it daily. Leaving money in paypal is a mistake that many learn the hard way.

Yah, definitely agree in withdrawing daily once the 21 day hold is gone.
