PayPal@AskPayPal I am requesting a formal manual review and appeal for the permanent limitation on my account. The 180 day holding period has successfully elapsed with all balances cleared and zero unresolved buyer disputes or charge backs. Please DM me so that I can share my account.
PayPal@AskPayPal Hi, I’ve had my PayPal account for over 10 years and have always used it lawfully and in line with your policies, but it’s now restricted. Can it be restored to full access? For privacy, I’d prefer to discuss account details via DM or a secure official channel. Thx u.
PayPal#Paypal I did a typo when paying someone. My money went to the wrong recipient, they haven't replied to my plea to return my money. That "seller" has my money but sold me zilch. Now Paypal have found in seller's favour & closed my case, so I've lost my ££££. Paypal is a disgrace
PayPal@AskPayPal @PayPal Your automated system permanently banned my 15-yr account while traveling in South America, freezing my funds. This contradicts your July 16 Compliance email saying I could keep the account. BBB complaint already filed. Need a manual review ASAP!
PayPalSo @PayPal You restricted my account 2 years ago, I was paid 3$ you took it, and impose a negative balance for me to pay ? That's only transaction I ever heard with PayPal and I was paid by my roommate friend. I send you the messages you didint bother. So Do I have to spent 13.4$ to pay for your own mistakes ? 🙃
PayPalThey have been holding my money for over a month with countless excuses of providing proof, while I'm sending the tracking links everyday. Ruining my business in Q4, also they say the 9.6k is available but I can't withdraw it. @PayPal PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. https://t.co/OwgsCBRc3A
