Paypals Limited havent gotten email releasing funds
 

i am not sure exactly were to put this thread i searched the forum but couldnt get an exact answer to my question.

a couple of my paypals got limited i already know what i did wrong. One said it will be released in 180 days the other one 45.

Now there are a couple other that have been limited but i have not received an email stating when they will be releasing the funds. The email starts off with your account is limited until we hear from you.

i dont see a point in calling them i already know what they want me to send to them which is a waste of time because they have connected all of them so it wont matter if i send in docs they wont restore the account.. Since i havent gotten an email saying when they will release my funds what can i do? Will it be released in the usual 180 days?

Worries me a bit about your saying 'all connected'.

Ca you explain that further please? :juggle:

This is what I wonder as well. My most recently limited account does not have a "released in X days" indication, so I am simply hoping my money gets released in 180 days.

This seems like a change in tact from PP to give them more leverage & control over your held funds. :pry:

ya what i mean is i was transferring between accounts which i shouldnt have done and they somehow connected them that way.. but i havent gotten the release email about a couple of the accounts

My eBay account got suspended due to repeated MC019 violations. Due to past experience (where your Paypal becomes suspended within the 24-48 hours following your suspension), I panicked and transfereed all funds to an alternative PayPal account. The original account went down as expected, and so did the backup account, although the former got a 180 day suspension and the later a 45.

45 days passed and nothing happens, so I emailed their executive office and in a few hours I got an automated email informing me that my funds were eligible for withdrawal. But shortly after this, I get a reply to my email telling me that hey are still reviewing my account, and that I would get an update soon. I did indeed get an update, but it was to inform me that they had decided to close the account and keep the money for a further 180 days.

did you get an email telling you the dates on them becuase i have gotten nothing for a couple of the paypal accounts and it has been almost a week. all of the ebay accounts are fine just the paypals went down

Did you respond to the limitation notice?

Did you say nope I aint doing anything or have you just left the account in limbo? :spy:

Just left the account in limbo.

same here so if you dont send in the docs they want they can just hold the money forever and not give it to you?

Paypal is now very strict with held money. They will verify ID for every account.

I got some of mine doesn't even reach $1000 (australia law anti money) and they still ask for ID before releasing the funds

so if i dont send in the ID i shouldnt plan on getting my money

I am waiting on GreenBean's answer to the above.

I have learned not to trust regular forum users' speculations on these things.

ya i am very confused by this.. i am sure you can somehow tell paypal you dont feel comfortable sending them the docs that they want they cant force you and they cant hold your money forever. eventually they have to release it

and what i learned from you is never speculate anything about my
experiences to you!

I think "regular users" should remember this name too. Let him find the answer himself!

I've been around here a lot longer than you have.

i've been playing around with paypal longer than most of people here! :noidea:

With or without notice. You can withdraw once reach 180days after limited. Don't have to worry.

That's for us user, for Aus is a different story :mad2:

It's okay, just let Paypal take care of your money forever :clap:

After all, they are a "pay pal" :dance:

Please do not make such a sweeping statement.

It simply is not accurate. paypal may not release funds under certain conditions.

It depends on the type of limitation and paypal's perception of the account.

paypal will refuse to release funds.

As I type appeals are happening with some users to obtain funds

because paypal declined to release them after the 180 days

This relates to paypal in four different countries including the USA :peace:

So this brings me back to the original question.

If your limitation email does not explicitly state you can withdraw your funds in 180 days, does that mean we are not guaranteed to have our funds in 180 days?

It is probable a user may need to discuss the matter (further) with paypal.

I agree 110% with your post correction in thread 21 on here re:sweeping statements.:smash:

That generalisation raised an eye brow with me as well :faint: as there are countless stories on the board of PP NOT releasing funds after the 180 day period.

:rolleyes:

Very worrying trend of making inaccurate statements. :pout:

Yes, there are inaccuracies being filtered out here, the end user really does need to be vigilant & use the search button & read around before making any firm conclusions anywhere.
:violin:

What I am going to do is either email or call PayPal and tell the I don't want to send them the docs and see if I can appeal the decision then maybe I can get the parting ways email and hopefully a release date

There really is no real appeal in a situation like this where they are asking for ID documents to verify your ID.

The most likely thing to happen here is that they will suspend/ban indefinitely the PP A/C & they will NOT release the funds for an unspecified indefinite period as already advised at the top of your first post.:tears:

:pry:

With one of the accounts it was in a friends name (Bad Idea) when it got limited i sent them all the info the requested which was all legit. I thought they would restore the account but they didnt.
When a phone call was made to paypal to see the status of the account they said the were parting ways and the money would be available 180 days.
Even though paypal stated that on the phone no emails has been sent regarding the funds.
Would it be safe to assume that 180 those funds will be released or no?

To be honest with you, without wanting to rehash or recycle the same information, I'd say GB's point in post 21 on this thread is most pertinent to your situation.:noidea:

The email starts off with your account is limited until we hear from you. ---that is a starting point in addition to & in lieu of all of the other advice on this thread & other threads across the board (which I'd consult as well).:ballchain:

From my experience PayPal has changed a lot with emails and notices about your account like if it's limited or even when it's time to withdraw. In fact the last few times I got the email it was like 2 weeks after the 180 days.

Thank you, oge.

ACCURATE & needed info. :clap:

Oge is right on.

/quote from the OP : Now there are a couple other that have been limited but i have not received an email stating when they will be releasing the funds. The email starts off with your account is limited until we hear from you.

PP is doing this because there is a flag in place that "expects" you to contact them and follow steps to resolve the limitation- even when NO appeal is allowed. Dumb glitch in the system. You will receive a further e-mail with the 180 days clause.
