Default Paypal planning to hold my funds permanently

Received this email after I told Paypal I wasn't going to provide them with ID. Note the bit about providing ID after 180 days which I won't be doing and effectively means they are seeking to hold my money permanently, otherwise known as stealing. I had the multiple account freeze at the end of last year.

After reviewing your PayPal account, we’ve determined there to be excessive
risk involved in doing business with you and we’d like to begin parting
ways in a manner that is least disruptive to your business.

If there is any money in your account balance, it will be held for 180 days
(from the date of the last payment you received) to cover any disputes that
might be opened by your buyers.

After 180 days, we may ask you to provide us with a proof of identity and a
proof of address before you can withdraw any remaining balance.

If there are outstanding buyer complaints open against you, you can refund
your customers via the Resolution Centre in your PayPal account.

We reserve the right to close any account reported to be involved in
possible high-risk behaviour. In the event of a dispute, we’ll try to
recover the money from you by debiting your PayPal balance first and, if
there are insufficient funds in your PayPal balance, we reserve the right
to collect your debt to PayPal by any other legal means.

We appreciate your patience and understanding regarding this matter and
regret any inconvenience it may cause you.

If the ammount of money you have in the accounts is consistent you better consider to give them what they ask or you can say "ciao ciao" to your money.

That's the way Paypal is making business with all of us.

Providing correct ID is not possible with linked stealth accounts. What are you saying here? It's my own fault for attempting stealth and they are right to keep my money?

Why are you talking now about "linked stealth accounts"?

Paypal mail simply states "there to be excessive
risk involved in doing business with you and we’d like to begin parting" s othey are closing your account.
You can withdraw after 180 days if you provide the requested ID.

If you are going the "stealth way" you shall always be prepared to provide the ID they might be asking for one reason or another.

Be creative or ask in the marketplace if any seller could help....

yes of course it is your fault! You created the accounts didn't you? They are not right to keep your money but they want to make sure it goes back to the owner and the owner is the baloney name you gave them not you! it sucks and is stupid but 10000% reasonable on their part.

Chill pill dude, just send them what they need if it comes to it. Everyone gets that email when they get limited. Just dont do anything, then after 180 days (if not before) you will get your funds are eligible for withdrawal.

Ive had accounts with the same email, all withdrawn after sixty days, two without id.

Dont listen to the idiot above. Its funny how people get self righteous after they have been stealthing for a while.

He learns. Like everyone does.

But what you tried to do was mock and instil fear with a comment that gave no information or support, so yes I would describe you as an idiot. He is not at that point of no return. So grow a pair, and man up, you where new at some point, and if you did everything right, you 'wouldnt be on here would you? 'LMAO' (at you)

Yanks, typical.

for the win.

Yes, have a word with a few peeps on here, but dont do it till they ask for it, you will probably see your money before having to do so as long as you dont have any charge backs or item not arrived claims etc.

The UK has proper services who help against PayPal, Financial Ombudsmen, and I used this service on one account (still stealth) and money was release very quickly. It was a low balance account, so i took the chance to see what would happen.

I expect nothing will happen till after sixty days though, and it is a stressful wait, I emphasise with you

how in the world can you take what I said as saying anything negative to him, I stated the fact that he is responsible and that he needed to understand paypals position and I told him what to do what did you read. Chill on the idiot talk or are you not familiar with the forum rules?

balony ID in UK is real shaky you need someone in UK to help you with that but I think I would just wait the time and see if they release it. After 60 I would send an email like is it possible to withdraw my funds now and than again every 30 until you get a response add a bank and get it out remember name match or some banks may return it!

It wasn't positive was it? did you offer advice? no, you merely mocked his situation with idiotic behaviour, hence the term idiot.

So chill on the mockery and offer some wisdom, if you have some on UK paypal system

Well done.

PayPal will email you every 30 days from limitation stating 'the status of your funds', no need to send emails. Sending emails may entice them to ask for ID. Just wait it out and see what happens every thirty days.

I believe you might be on crack or meth.

I never said that. I said send them what they ask for. They havent asked for anything yet.

Yanks typical???...a bit harsh.

Dont think danshan spoke out of turn at all..he pretty much explained that pp can and will hold your funds if necessary. No point pussy footing round that, as they will do what they deem necessary.

Agree with you that waiting it out is the best course of action. I know that new rules with paypal are in effect. I recently got my money released a little before the 180 days. Never contacted them once prior to it. Got the email and withdrew the funds. No id asked for.
Though i appreciate things may have changed now :-)

Paypal emailed me on the status of funds. They said they would be available after 45 days - they weren't. Another said funds were able after I provided ID - they weren't.

Sorry. but you have forgotten something essential.

When you made your paypal account, you gave them an agreement you were accepting their T&S.

Now, if you did not read them, and know what they could do, you made an error.

They have defined in their T&S exactly what they will do. Holding funds is their perogative, not stealing.

You do have options that might work depsite the gloom from across the pond.
