Re: PayPal is not going to release my money after 180 days hold!!!
Guys, I have a solution to this. This works in the US, I don't know for sure about other countries but might be worth a try. First off, just keep calling paypal as it's very likely if you get the right representative they'll help you withdraw after 180 days without documents. If that doesn't work, speak to a supervisor at paypal. It might help to have ⊗⊗⊗⊗ docs ready when you speak to a supervisor just in case. If they don't resolve your issue, speak to another supervisor. If that doesn't work, file a Better Business Bureau complaint again them. I've been told by supervisors that legally they have to release the money after 180 days and cannot continue asking for documents. And they especially can't refuse to release the money after providing documents. For UK users, the financial ombudsman can probably assist you as well as they basically have the same power over paypal as the BBB.
EDIT: For some stats, calling different customer service representatives has worked to resolve this around 50% of the time, speaking to a supervisor works around 75% of the time, filing a BBB complaint works 100% of the time but it may take 2-3 weeks to receive a response so it will NOT be a fast resolution. FYI, the regular paypal executive office email does NOT direct to paypal's executive office (executiveoffice@paypal.com). It instead now directs to regular customer service so don't expect that to help you. I have however gotten this issue resolved once after sending 4 emails to this email address. But just know they may or may not respond to your emails and if they do, they may give you a generic unhelpful response.
EDIT #2: Since the OP's paypal account is real and not stealth info, threatening legal action AND actually going through with that legal action if paypal doesn't oblige is another good option. I guarantee you no court in the world will side with paypal on this if you sue them in court. And most likely, paypal won't even show up for the court date so you can get a default judgment against them. Again, IDK about the UK but in the US small claims cases are easy to file, have minimal filing fees, and you can represent yourself (no lawyer fees). I have the upmost confidence that OP can get their funds.
