    hi
    yes due to charge back risk they will not give you back your money till 180 days
    .... to be honest you better work with moneybookers and forget paypal for 180 days.

    regards

    PayPal holds your money for 180 days in case there are any chargebacks that need to be covered. After that time they will send you the money.

    At least one person got his money back sooner by writing a letter, but unless your case is similar to his, that is unlikely to work.

    LoL

    not when u are completely seperated from the whole world ( except from chatting on the net ) .

    I'm IN Palestine , Gaza strip , the most restricted area in the whole world ( even more than Gwantanamo Prison ) .

    P.S : Coka Cola stoped providing services to our area too ( Things here is much worse than caring about paypal ) .

    I guess I will try to get a VCC , I hope it will work out

    If your address clearly belong to a place where paypal has ceased to provide its service, I do not think you would be able to do anything, except may be call Paypal and request them to at least refund the balance amount as early as possible. :(

    So what if I let some one make a paypal for me with VCC and after 10 days I can take the paypal from him and use it ?

    and what if they limited it ? how can I fix it ? can anyone who have paypal linked to vcc to fix the limitation ?

    Paypal account opened in someone else's name belonging to diff. place and verified with VCC would run fine, as long as lady luck is there on your side. The moment it got limited for one reason or another, you would find it difficult to provide paypal with your identity documents like credit card statement or even your utility bill!

    You would not be able to even withdraw your balance amount to your bank account since the bank name would not match! :(

    here what paypal said :


    "We appreciate your interest in PayPal. Unfortunately our decision to close
    your account is final.

    At this time we do not offer services in your area. In the event of a
    dispute, PayPal will seek to recover the funds from you by debiting your
    PayPal balance and, if there are not sufficient funds in your PayPal
    balance, PayPal reserves the right to collect your debt to PayPal by any
    other legal means.

    Due to the potential risk of chargebacks or other action filed by buyers,
    your balance will be held 180 days from the date of your limitation. At
    that time, any remaining funds will be available for withdrawal.

    We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

    Sincerely,
    PayPal "

    I think it would be better if you continued receiving your funds into your brother's paypal, without you directly accessing it.

    You will have to just request your brother to keep a record of your money and send you the same every month, through wire or any other means. I think it is the best solution for you, under present circumstances.

    I guess you can activate paypal IPN (Instant payment notification) to check the payment instantly.

    Definitely write a letter explaining your situation. Was there a lot of mopney in the account at the time of closing?

    I've always hated PayPal because of their incompetence and inability to create an intuitive website, now I hate them even more. It seems they have no idea what kind of a situation Palestine is in. Bastards!

    I would switch to Moneybookers or Hoopay for payment processing. If you do want to use your brother's account all you need to do is have him change his main email address to an email address which forwards to both your brother and yourself. That way you know who paid you how much and when - because PayPal send instant emails when a payment comes in.
