180-Day Hold Sparks PayPal Suit

Same here I was dropshipping, paypal thinks it's okay because they don't like my business model that they can take my 3500 and hold on to it for 6 months. This is fraud they are using this money to make money. All the while my business is going out of business!!! Let's sue these mother f*ckers!! Class action lawsuit!!!

PayPal is guilty of consumer fraud, breach of contract and violation of the laws governing the electronic transfer of money. PayPal, which is owned by eBay and has been in the business of moving money online for more than a decade, has yet to respond to the complaint. The company is less than helpful when I ask why the money is being held,PayPal has not been very good at working with people when there is a hold put on the account. They have a lot of hoops they want people to jump through when people call to find out what's going on. Even when I did provide all the information PayPal asks for, they still won't tell them why the account is being held. They told me to get a court order or a subpoena if I want more information." I provided all documents requested and they still denied me. They lied about my documents all being rejected because they limited my account but yet my social card was accepted while my photo ID and passport was denied. How does someone deny two forms of verification? This has significantly hurt my business and even though I have IRS paperwork and a EIN they still denied me. I feel very victimized and it gas cost me over 2,000 in losses the past few days because I am unable to do business. I am very upset with how my case was handled and that a Paypal rep suggested I was a Scammer. He began to explain he has worked in fraud for 10 years and basically insinuated that there is no way I pay customers upfront for their products then resell them to whole sales for a larger payout. (Basically, called me a liar) Its called medical commodities (Diabetic Strips) and a gray market, but perfectly legal. I have many colleagues who work in this business and recommended paypal to me. They do 30k transactions weekly with no problems so I don't appreciate the time, money, and mental stress Paypal has caused me. I became very angry and asked how I am scammer when my customers get paid upfront to avoid any problems when buying products? he tried to retrace his words but I had asked for a supervisor. Ironically, I was hung up on while waiting on hold. I am no stranger to how merchant accounts work and many will agree and back this statement. Well this is how paypal senior shareholders and top executives view the masses that use the service. Don't be under any illusion that the system is automated, decision makers review each complaint and and accounts logistics teams get bonuses for withholding funds.Ultimately, my trust in financial institutions as a result of paypal funds being withheld has become zero to none. This type of behavior demands immediate attention as I am not the only one who has been a victim of false penalization's from paypal.

PayPal is holding 10k of my money for 180 Days and banned my account because they don't like my business model and I because I grew my business too fast.

PayPal is holding $11,000.00+ of my money, I do remote network testing. They said I am too successful too fast. I'm a contractor and just started doing this, it makes no sense!

I'm a reseller, I use dropshipping as my business model. PayPal limited my account and requested ID and invoice. I provided everything that they asked and they closed my account!!
They are now holding over $9000 in my PayPal account! I called them and they said they don't like my dropshipping model!! This is ridiculous! Please help!!

My money was put on hold for 180 days, i've contacted paypal a few times but I was told there was a dispute transaction, I took care of it, still they won't released my money that is available to me, Please, I need help..

Paypal wants to hold our money. We can receive but we cannot take out. We have stopped using them but they still won't give us our money. We sell education. All the classes have been taken so there is no reason to hold the money yet they are. We have 0 complaints. So no issues yet they want to hold our money because we do a lot of business. A bank would not do this so how can they?

PayPal no reasons hold 3500 on the account even though I supplied all the paperwork they requested. Originally said that the hold was customers not receiving the merchandise when I argued it wasn't true and sent prove of that the reason change. Now is already 30 days and now they have a new reason. They said they have to Hold it in case of any returns. I lost my ebay account and now I started all over again.

Paypal is holding about 4500.00 for 180 days please help.

Ebay is DEAD as far as I am concerned. Very hard to get a descent price or even a give away sale these days on anything. Had 8 listings not one sale. Paypal put a hold on my funds from a return I did.. So what I did was simply have my credit card company reverse the charge of the original purchase, now I have their funds as they refunded the sale less a hold of $400... they are holding now NOTHING ... now the shoe is on the other foot, give them a taste of their own medicine , see how they like it.
Piss on you Paypal.. hahahahahahahahahahaha

Paypal put a limit on my account for no reason then when I provided photo ID and a invoice they still said that wasn't enough and I had to wait 180 even through the buyer will received my item I don't see how this is even legal. This person has my 600 dollar phone and I have no money

I filed a consumer complaint against them. United States Federal Reserve, Washington DC Attorney General, The Better Bureau Business. My account was put on a limit today holding $4300 in it. Im a reseller and I don't send my item until I receive my funds. Cause "some" buyers are not honest. So after three weeks went, my buyers was asking for the item. I called PayPal and complain, after I complain. I received a email two minutes later stating my account was on a hold. I refunded everybody there money. PayPal has ruin my life and my business! That money I use is for me to keep purchasing items and sending items. Ebay just as poor too. They both need to be shut down immediately!

Paypal has "permanently limited" a seperate paypal account of mine that has ties to my personal paypal account and has my funds on hold. The funds on hold are from funds I sent to a friend and then he chose not to accept them. So after they came out of my bank account, and he did not accept them, paypal has kept the funds for themselves, sounds like theft to me.

As soon as they hit the billion dollar mark they will file bankruptcy and screw all of us

Im just open the account of pay pall I have 2 deposit of a total of $6,250 dlls and then they limite my account, my company is decoration of weddings I allready give the service and I pay the cost of these decoration , because when I ask to give to the custumer the money back they said no, that I have to hold 180 days, I dont think that is fair and I hope that is a way to have the money back before, because I have to pay a lot and I work a lot for these money that I dont have
someone can help me

My account is on a 180 day hold with $4500 in it.. How can i get involved in doing something to stop this nonsense? I will pay to get my money free`d up!

In a nutshell - Ebay/Paypal put me on a "credit hold" because their new policy says you can't have too many complaints. They look at 6 or 8 different areas. In one area (one that is an anonymous place for buyers to rate you), I was rated "below standard" - in ONE area by POINT 16%. Everywhere else my ratings are WAY above their standards. Ok, so that's not really my issue. My credit hold states that they can hold my funds until 3 days after the customer receives my package (if I ship through PayPal, which I do). Ok, so that's not my issue either. The problem is, after 3 days my funds aren't being released and I have to call them (at least twice a week for the past 6 weeks) to manually release the funds! What a friggin' waste of my time when I'm following all their dumb "policies" and jumping through all their circus hoops. I'm thinking this is not even LEGAL. I need someone who likes to fight for the "little guy" because I don't even know where to start going up against eBay and PayPal!!

I have been member of paypal and ebay for years i had 35 feedbacks as a buyer when i decided to sell gathering another 35 feedbacks in a month or two. I decided to sell a few items i have then suddenly ebay put limitations to my accounts, asked me id copy, despite they have all my info, bank accounts, ssn. Asked me for receipts of the items i have sold, we are talking about items are between 6 to 30 years old, some of them were new or unused. They considered my account suspicious and without doing anything wrong, no claims, no complaints limited my account and paypal did the same, after i provided the documentation ( i fail to present all the receipts ) before 24 hours i received a message that my account was close and my money $1500 in hold for 180 days. without having claims, without having chrgebacks, without any issue, nor further explanation.

Dear Attorneys
How can I sign up and give my support on the class action suit against Paypal,, They are unfairly holding funds on me for no reason and I am fed up!! I have a perfect selling record with no bad / "anything" against me,,and today after spending "another" hour of my life on the phone with them complaining ,while they couldn't give me a reasonable answer except for "your not selling enough" I said enough is enough and refunded all the buyer's money ( approx, $600.00) and want to seek legal action!! This is what I wrote to all the buyer's-

-Dear Buyer I wanted to go through with the transaction but Paypal will not release the funds, and I have a perfect selling record!
and if I sell something I expect to get paid before I go through all thetrouble of cleaning/boxing & shipping,, I refuse to use paypal agian until they change their
policy back to what it was when I agreed to use them in the partnership / working agreement
that paypal and I entered into...sorry about your inconvenience .

I had over $1000 on hold for a long time for no reason as they would not give me one. I contacted the law firm here and was placed on the lawsuit. A little while later they did refund my money. I have since closed both my paypal and ebay accounts. Ebay is the culprit even though by law,they are 2 seperate entities. This is not legal in me book.

i just got my account put on hold. i have been reading a lot online and there are so many people like me. im not gonna be the one to step up and sue them but someone needs to. they either need to become like a bank with all the rules of banks, or just shut down completely. and whatever happens to people with PayPal is usually also happening with PayPal. they are linked and they screw you over from 2 sides. Please Someone just saw them already

I have had my account put on hold and I have had my acct billed because of so called listing fees. I was billed for the listing fees over and over and I couldnt talk to a Rep about it Thank goodness I only had 54.00 in my pay pal they left me with 9.00. They billed me for listing fees 3 times and the fees became larger each time. I quit using ebay for that reason and when I talk to others I know that use it say the same as I do that ebay needs to be investigated and shut down!!!
