There asking for the same information i supplied 6 months ago. how can they get away with this?

Wow that really sucks. I say contact them asap and see what can be done. Good luck.

Thanks for your answer just got off the phone with them after being on hold 'forever' and the lady said they will review the payment and should take up to 24hrs and she says everything looks good with no seller dispute/chargebacks and i provided tracking and it is covered under seller protection,but how do i know shes not just getting my hopes up.

No chances are you are good, trust me they give no false hope..lol keep us updated

Hope it works - I am also looking forward to some positive follow-up from you.

this is rather unusual. hope they dnt get as bad as Amazon...which incidentely i hear ebay is trying to copy their business model

Wow you that much go through paypal. I would have used other methods. But keep us updated.

You oviously did not read their T&S at the time of that limitation.

It was clearly stated that they took teh right to still hold onto funds even after a 180 day limitation.

Nasty but still part of their games.

Certainly brings the 180 day release of funds to a different level.

Sorry for this shock for you.:doh:

that post is a bit outdated, but nevertheless it might still work.

It doesn't sound like your paypal balance is being permanently held.. That email you copied and pasted says, "funds for this transaction have been deducted from your PayPal account balance" which is because you received a payment from a hijacked paypal account. Those transactions get reversed 100% of the time. That's why it is important to make sure you are dealing with the true account holder.

Worked for me a few times since last year.

Yes but the transaction happened 5 months ago. PayPal already opened a hold and I provided tracking and proof of stock and they released the holds. Now there asking the same information again. Should hear something in the next few days.

keep us posted, and stay on top of them.

Hmm.. Maybe just a glitch or something then? Good luck.

As one wise bird once told me.....

"never keep too much money in your paypal account at any one time"

And that wise bird was common sense...

update

thanks everyone for your answers. just got off the phone with paypal after them asking for tracking numbers "again". and they lifted the hold. back to waiting a few more weeks. They did act shock that they would review a payment after months..yeah sure "employee":rolleyes: case closed.

Very glad you will get your money back ! :cheer:

Just to be clear.... you did ONE transaction for $4,400???? Shady. as. hell.

Yeah the stealth was strong because it got limited before but i got the limitation lifted and started doing bigger sales because i thought that after the first limitation it would be incredible hulk strong.

Well it was for a while until the next limitation permanently limited. the next two emails after calling was your paypal funds are eligible for withdrawal and also paypal notification:temporary hold removed. we have completed our investigation of the following transaction and have removed the temporary hold. This temporary hold was removed because we have determined that the transaction was authorized.
they've also released the funds a month earlier after calling in. i called earlier that day with no luck but when i called around closing time 9pm things went wayyyy better. nite time is the right time in my book.
