My Paypal Banned?

"Dear xxxxxxx,

We have reviewed your PayPal Account, and due to the excessive risk
involved, we would like to begin parting ways in a manner that is least
disruptive to your business.

Please reply to this email by logging in to your PayPal account and filling
out the Limited Account Access web form to facilitate the disbursement of
any funds remaining in your PayPal account."

So Paypal has basically banned me from using their service. They have also held all my funds for 180 days. I was told that my ban was due to having so many buyers file disputes. This was because i used the Claim/Cancel method to avoid being charged back upon. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Is there anything I can do to get my account back? Thanks.

yes it can be a problem...do you even know what claiming and canceling is doing? or do you just do it cause thats the method?

im guessing your only doing it cause thats the method

Ye if heard of this problem, so i jsut say that you should make a new accout, that will solve some problems and to get your money back, well just tell paypal to give it back because they are stealing it.

Nah..paypal isn't bad unless you are an idiot. Try calling them/contacting them?

This happend to me too back when i used to take paypal, and no there is no way to get your account back. When this happened to me i tryed everytihng to get my account back, including calling them, but it did nothing. If you want your money back, you'll just have to wait 6 months and then request a cheque. Someone should sticky this as an example of what happens when you use paypal to trade gp.

Is says in the paypal help, if you get alot of claims your account will freeze.

This sir, is the reason we all hate PayPal.

R2Pleasent · Mar 6, 2007

Well, I have a great deal of money right now in my two accounts, and I think it's completely pathetic that they are able to hold onto it for 6 months without paying me interest. They have all my information, why do they need to hold onto my funds for such a long time? I guarantee Paypal is making interest off MY money right now, and it makes me sick.

Make a new one?

Cheeter · Mar 7, 2007

Shit. Paypal's really a bitch...

Sephiroth · Mar 7, 2007

lol that must suck. cant you just add a new one then transfer? dik just a suggestion

maxi mag3 · Mar 7, 2007

Ouch that hurts.. How much did you have on the accounts?

R2Pleasent · Mar 7, 2007

over $500 is frozen on my two accounts. No I can't make a new account and send money, because a Limited account can't send / receive / withdraw. Paypal makes sure I can't touch it for 180 Days.
