Money withdrawn to wrong bank account and no response from paypal

Hi all,
I withdrew money from paypal to one of my bank account which is inactive for 1.5 years, by mistake. I did it on Aug,18. I contacted paypal they asked to wait for 14 business days to trace money. I waited and they asked the Bank statement of the acc. to which i transferred my money. I explained them its a closed account and inactive for 1.5 years. After that no reply from paypal, I sent 3 more mails after that still no response from paypal. I transferred 650$ and now am starting to worry because its been a month and no solid solution from paypal. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You!!!

 

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. So I think, should call them by Monday night?

 

Yes i would call them monday first thing in the morning local usa time.

 

Thanks Will call them and update the thread..

 

You should have called them immediately, even asked them to transfer the call to their higher ups. Emails dont work well in these sort of issues.

 

They will be available over weekends as well so I prefer to call them ASAP...

 

Don't send emails. Just make a phone call and tell them the situation, they will resolve it quickly.

 

do you have skype?if so,you can use this method .it's free of charge

 

If there is no bank account then money will be reversed to your paypal account..Once you contact the bank and see if the bank account still exist and if it i sexist take your money..

 

Make a call via skype to their Toll Free Number : 1-888-215-5506

 

Hi,Thanks to everyone. I am trying to call paypal through skype with the numbers you provided. One time I talked with the rep, but the call disconnected unexpectedly. I am going to call them again now and see what happens. Thanks again for you all!!!!

 

you call them again and again and email twice and thrice a day. If any person your friend who have a pay pal account you tell him to prefer you. and call them for you.

 

Sure! Now am on call with them!! Explaining the issue!

 

The account was closed on ~march 2010. So its no more active. I even contacted the bank support directly and through mail, but they told no possibilities of credit/debit on an inactive account.

 

Oky, I talked to Paypal customer care, the lady attended the call explained me that as the status of the transaction is "Completed", the money is still with the bank and I have to contact them again along with the mail from paypal (which i received now). I am still confused and gonna contact HDFC bank now. Wish me luck!!!

 

Hi all, I got the following reply from HDFC. Will calling paypal CC is enough or should i fax them? please advice.

 

I'm thinking maybe you should do both... but I guess you could try calling first and see what kind of response you get and find out if there is a specific person to fax your info to?!?

Good Luck!

 

Thanks nuke, I will call them first and see what they say!!!

 

Good luck for you OP, I hope your problem fixed!
