Can Paypal legally freeze my money?

Discussion in 'PayPal' started by DanStan, Jul 14, 2019.

    Hello
    Can Paypal freeze funds for longer than they declared? My girlfriend sent me over $ 200 and they frozen me funds - lol.
    It's been said that for 3 weeks they had to verify my documents, everything is definitely OK on my part. Support does not write back to me, and a month has passed. Can I therefore demand something from them judiciously? I read Paypal feedbacks and various problems with freezing funds, but I found no answer anywhere. I will be grateful for your help

    Get your girlfriend to cancel the transaction and send you the money via western union

    She can not withdraw money, it was the first thing I wanted to do and what I demanded when I called the hotline. The money is frozen and they will not be handed over to me or my girlfriend.

    I wish you LOTS of luck in getting your money.

    PayPal has owed me just over $100 since 1998!!! After DECADES of trying to get MY money I have given up. PayPal will not give it to me. I cannot withdraw it. I cannot spend it. I cannot give it away. ALL I can do is LOOK at my PayPal balance on their site. Needless to say, I am NOT a PayPal fan. In fact, you could say I am VERY PISSED OFF AT PAYPAL!!!

    As a result, when I need to get or send money today, I use Western Union, Moneygram, Checks, Money Orders, or even Cash, but NEVER PayPal.

    If someone REQUIRES me to use PayPal, like ScrewBay, I simply do not patronize them.

    Paypal is registered as bank and they act as one. If you don't do what they say, policies etc, they can close your account right away.. That's paypal. Be nice, transparent with your business and you should be fine.
