Has P@yPal changed their 180 day hold policy?

Omgoozle · #1 02-04-2012

Hello -

I've searched and read a ton on the forums about this in the last 2 days, but can't find a solid answer. Most of the information I'm reading is from 2009-2010.

I am wondering if PP has changed their 180 day hold policy for any reason.

I have ~20 accounts with 180 day holds, average balance is around $5K.

I am waiting out the 180 day hold, and I want to know for sure if I should plan on getting that money or if I should plan on fighting for it.

All the accounts are in xxxx names. All the accounts are xxxx addresses. All the accounts have a bank account of mine currently linked to them.

I was under the impression that after 180days I would just have to withdraw the balance to my account and I'd be good to go.

Can someone verify that this is still the case? There are a bunch of people on the forums (mostly n00bs) who are posting about how PP is trying to steal their money and they are scaring the hell out of me.

Please let me know,
Goozle.

I just had one of my PP account come off the 180 day hold (actually at about day 175) with no problem at all.

Acct was in a XXXX name with XXXX address....$$$ is now safely in my bank.

I have said it B4 I will say it again. Please listen.

Each account put under a 180 day limitation is treated differently.

Happily in the majority of cases funds are released.

It depends on the various factors pertinent to the account.

Overseas users accessing paypal with VPN's have had major troubles by way of example.

Should your account(s) be suitable you should be able to expect release of funds.

If you have no complaints after 40 days you can email them and ask.

check this site out, I did exactly what the author did and got my funds released early.
