Paypal limited my account

My account has been limited by Paypal after I received 4 payments (3 from the same sender) which they complained to Paypal about.

I don't know these people nor why they sent me money and my account has been limited with 7 days to comply with Paypal's wishes to further verify my account.

I'm just wondering, if I don't comply what will happen? Will I be banned from Paypal for life?! I've e-mailed them with my situation and they're yet to respond.

Also, I'm 15 so I can't send them a utility bill with my name on it...??

What do I do? I'm practically accused of fraud, so what is the next step??

 

LOL did they say that those ppl complained?

My paypal account was limited wen sumone from dif ip adress haxed into it and tried to send money. Paypal stopped but it took 1 and half month to get it back.

I also did not have any utility bill but I had just signed up for the Aussie election so I sent them that form and a bank account form.

That got it unblocked.

As you are in dif situation ur screwed no but seriously show paypal wat ur selling. If they allow it they will release funds to u if not they will refund money.


Goog luk!!!

 

I want to refund the money! I don't want the money!!

I sent them an e-mail telling them to send the money back to the people!!?

Will they unlock my account then?

 

doubt it. Issue will have to be resolved and by sending money back paypal still has the possibility of getting another complaint. U may be in for a few weeks wait for even an answer

 

can anyone else post their experience?

 

nope . paypal has totally ripped you off like they did to me 4 times.
i lost total of $225 USD by limited accounts.

 

Maybe you have done something wrong ?

 

no i am sure the limited his account without any reason . thats why i hate paypal.
here is a website describing paypal's bad deeds :

 

Mate, there must be another reason. as far as i am concerned...
they must have send you an e-mail regarding why the paypal is been limited.

as you are saying complained.... i think someone send you a fraudlent funds.

 

I'm sorry I don't want to be negative but seeing as you're not legally allowed to open a PayPal account yet (according to PayPal TOS: our Service is not available to minors (under 18) ), I'm not sure you have a recourse.

Is your account, btw, verified?

 

as long as you can send them what they ask for i have found that they have been quite prompt in the past

 

I never have trouble.. well that isn't true.. but when I have trouble I just talk to them. You have to imagine they have a tough job listening to everyones problems. Once money is involved.. the world falls apart. They aren't trying to be crooks.. they're trying to make the right decision. If they were extremely dishonest they'd be shut down in a heartbeat.

Agreed.

 

the reason that they limited you because of the transactions you made with the same person 3 times..i bet the sender sent you the money like a minute apart?fyi,this is a red flag..also,if u tried withdrawing it right away,thats a red flag..the only chance you'll get your money back is after 180 days (if your lucky coz sometimes they limit it more)..btw,did u sell anything?if u did,better ask the buyer to dispute it so they can get the money back..also,the kind of paypal account you have matters..pm me if u need more answers..im kinda an expert at this..

 

Here's a blog post where I talked about how my paypal account, first limited, then cancelled permanently, but I persisted and have the account restored within a week and got my money back. Enjoy and please spread the word because I know a lot of people have had the same problem.

well yes, it was because of suspicion of fraudulent funds....and yes I'm under 18, but my account is Verified...

I'll see how this turns out and tell you what happens...

 

Have you tried calling them, instead of waiting for an email reply? You'll get more information if you call.

 

I know PayPal can be funny I had a phone call from them just after I had sold something they wanted to know what it was I sold LOL. 100 Million PayPal accounts and PayPal wanted to know what I had sold! Have they nothing better to do with there time?!?!
