Paypal Limited for Odd Reason What Should I do?
 

Ok really PayPal limited me for a really dumb reason, read it for your self below.

We recently noticed an issue with your account.

What's the problem?

It's been a little while since you used your account. So, we just want to
make sure that you authorized some recent transactions.

Case ID Number: XX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX

What to do next

Because of this issue, your account has been permanently limited. We
understand this may be frustrating and inconvenient but you'll still be
able to see your transaction history for a limited time.

You can get more details about your account limitation in the Resolution
Center. For more information, please contact us and we'll do our best to
help.

You'll be able to withdraw money from your account within 180 days. We'll
email you when it's available. We just want to make sure that you have
money in your account to cover any payment reversals.

Sincerely,
PayPal
I have had over 35 transactions in this month of April only and they give me this message. Are you kidding. I don't see how that is a long time since using this account. And permanently limited seriously, plus I did authorize those transactions. What do you think I should do?

What sort of risk did these transaction have? :pop2:

If they do not lift the limitation, contact the attorney general of your state and report paypal for holding your money. Tell the attorney general you have shipped out all the items and that they will not release the limitation (if you did ship the items). For holding your money for 6 months, they are making interest off your money and have no right to do so.

I've read numerous amounts of times from users who have used paypal and have said usually within a week of them contacting their attorney general, paypal will let you withdraw from your account but don't expect to use that paypal account anymore.

But first call paypal and try to work out an arrangement and see if there's something you can do to lift the limitation. More than likely, they just want to confirm that you did authorize the use of your account for these transactions (has happened to me) and afterward they will lift the limitations.

They were normal ebay purchases and I sent 2 people like $10 I don't see how I did anything risky. I probably had over 30 transactions in this month alone, I don't see how could have done anything to raise a red flag.

Much more information needed about your sales to determine why. Sending $10 to risky people can flag your account too.

I had the same message from pp as a seller - but that was before I read stealth guide ;)

you would have to call paypal directly, and try to get the reason for the limitation. There must have been one or two transactions that were on the risky side. I dont think paypal would limit an account for inactivity. That seems unusual. If they think your account was hijacked, they will limit, investigate, verify, then lift the limitation. Call, and see what the specific reason was.
