I received funds from some1 who does not have a "shippinh address" according to paypal and that transaction is now considered fraudalent. The money/transaction got reversed and my account got limited. I didnt do anything except receive the money owed to me. Now, my account got limited. I send them an email and all they tell me is ----------------------------------------- When we received notification that the transaction sent to you was funded by a potentially fraudulent source. This means the funds may have originated from a bank account, credit card, PayPal account, or another source reporting unauthorized activity. In the event we receive notification that a transaction is fraudulent, we are obligated to place a temporary hold on all involved funds until the validity of the transaction can be verified. If the funds are found to be fraudulent, we are required to return the funds to the legitimate owner. We realize that there are legitimate reasons why some people may not have a confirmed address or simply prefer to have merchandise delivered elsewhere. However, these transactions carry a slightly higher risk of fraudulent activity. ----------------------------------------- I ask them twice wat to do, they keep sending me the answer above. Any1 know how to solve the problem? The funds owed to me have been sent to another account. My paypal account is a new account and it is verified by debit card. I believe the problem is that the sender does not have a "shipping address" when he made the payment. Paypal puts the reason as "inquiry by paypal" in the resolution centre. Does this mean the sender of the money claimed the money is fraud or paypal is doing this on their own?? I paid for the money sent to me btw. Also, I did not try to withdraw the money. What could the problem be here? How do i solve it? Please help. Thank you.
From your other post, it would look like your account got limited probably because of the prohibited activity of money exchanges. The 'middleman' probably hacked into other's paypal accounts and send you the money and has been investigation. By associating with such activity, it is a good way of getting your account limited. Money exchanges is a great platform for money laundering and terrorist funding. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/use/index_frame-outside
i'm assuming paypal is taking preventative meausures to ensure that you are not the one that originated it all.
Damn. I am just unlucky to get funds from such a source. Heck, when the claim was filed, I didnt even know there was a claim against me, then it got reversed and after that, I logged into my account and found out. But by then, they limited my account already, possibly forever. I called the local paypal hotline and the girl said that my account will probably be limited forever lol and they reserve the right to not accept me as a customer, even be4 they heard my side of the story. Paypal is so bs. Any1 can just send funds to you, and in 2 days, the transaction will be reversed and the account, closed. And u havent even log in yet!!! I dont know wat kinda fraud that money sent into my account was or wat story the sender told (I tried asking paypal but they never told me, 3 emails already) but it got reversed. I cant cancel the debit card in my paypal account, so, do u think I should call my bank and cancel the debit card? I am not expecting them to charge anything to it but I dunno what kinda story the sender of the money can tell. I dont want any surprises lol.
