I did a trade earlier for egold to paypal i recieve this from paypal a few hours after. "Dear ...., One of the benefits of using PayPal is that we make every effort to alertyou to potentially problematic transactions. Our goal is to help you makesound business decisions. A review of recent transactions indicates that you may have received anunauthorised payment. This means that the PayPal account holder may nothave authorised the payment you received. We would like to learn more about this transaction. Please log in to yourPayPal account and provide some information. We strongly advise that you do not send the item until our investigation iscomplete. If you have already sent the item, please log in and let us knowwhere you sent it. We have placed a temporary hold on the funds until the investigation is complete." Does this mean the person who sent me the funds has filed a chargeback or are paypal doing routine checks?? The amount was for around $255 if that makes a difference.
It sounds like you have been scammed by the person. There is not much you can do because it is against Paypal rules to exchange money. If you tell paypal what the trade was for, they could limit and/or close your account. It is always risky to trade money.
Now you don't have to do anything else as you have already emailed them about this money exchange. Now all things in paypal's hand so just wait for reply from them
Nothing you can do. You need to start reading the terms of service of any company you deal with to avoid problems in the future. You may luck out but chances are they will close your account.
Do they take it serious things like that then? i mean its the first mistake ive made with them. Surly they wouldnt close the account due to it? I hope not anyway
Unfortunately you say it's the first time but to Paypal, any transactions that are against their TOS and AUP, they have the right to suspend or terminate your account. Afterall, you did agree to this when you signed up for an account with them.
as others said..i suspect they might not return the funds to you... hope you get your account back though..
so do i or my financial life will suffer severly ill beg for mercy. i hate waiting around too i want it sorting asap
SO better transfer ur balance paypal funds to ur other paypal account.I am sure u have been scammed for $255.Atleast save ur balance.
Don't ever do money exchanges with a Paypal account because it is a Prohibited activities which means you cannot do it without prior permission from Paypal and you will need a government issued money exchange licenses in order to do it. This is to prevent money laundering or scam. I know the lure of quick money is there but don't fall into that temptation or else you will be the loser.
Same thing happened to me last week with a reason of egold exchange but I didn't send an email to paypal about the transaction, I just ignored it since its just $20 anyway, I just learned my lesson not to trade with that person anymore and will not use that paypal account.
If doesn't mean that your account will be closed if its a chargeback then the funds will be withdrawn from ur account that's it...
but i mentioned it was an egold exchange as i didnt know it was against their TOS. Paypal are slow at responding. how long do the reviews tend to take?
i wish they would hurry up as i run an article writing service so there is no point in getting paid via paypal if there is a chane im going to get my account banned or anything for breaking TOS.
