Unless they paid you your money with interest, I would think that you'd still be able to join the class action suit especially if you incurred any additional loss due to lack of access to your funds.
Yes after taking all your money still continue to sue so that it would never happen again in the future with poor users as well my sister is also having the same problem its like almost all of the hardworking people around the world just got banned at the same time, i think its the paypal's way to track who is hacking trough their system or sumthin but my point is its like their pov goes a lil somthin like this : the paypal president be like :track all the accounts that had fast money increase on their account and ban them for 180 days and if they file a claim they must be doing legal work and if they dont talk to us directly they must have been doing something illegal
I think you are entitled to some kind of compensation. 180 days is 6 MONTHS. What if someone died during this time because the money were blocked and, say, you couldn't pay for hospital etc??? They should pay a lot of money for each account blocked without good reason.
INAL. You can join the class action lawsuit but you won't get the money back. You will get whatever pool of money that after the party won the lawsuit, which usually benefit the lawyer not the claimant(s). The better way for you is the go thru the small claim court. It doesn't matter what agreement you signed or not you have right to go there and make the claim and PayPal MUST send a legal representative. You will be more than likely to get your money back.
HI I only have 60usd in my paypal account it doesn't matter if they will return or not but my worry is my bank account cannot be removed, is there a chance that they can deduct money from my bank account?
they wouldn't let me close my account. hanging on to my bank details and taking my money on a fake direct debit. my bank manager said they were not subject to UK legislation and there was nothing he could do. had to close my bank account and open it again with a new sort code.
I just got banned today for no reason too. I heard about this for years but never thought it would happen to me because everything i do on PayPal is legitimate.
So happy you got your money back!! It's pity you can't join that class suit but making this public and sharing the story will hopefully make people aware. I use PayPal as third party payment or money transfer only. I don't keep anything in there.
Congrats on getting your money back. But was your account restored? Some of us only have PayPal to receive payments so we're kind of bound to it at the moment. It's a necessary evil but the goods news is companies are diversifying albeit slowly to include other payment options. For example, as of 2020 Ebay no longer uses PayPal. They switched to a payment company in the Netherlands. Kindly let us know if your account was restored after they gave you your money back.
my brother sent me $5000 usd. then i went to withdraw my money, paypal suspended my account. paypal insisted on me sending them copies of my driver's license and other financial proof. i did ultimately get my money but no reason existed for the hassle i went through. i have now canceled my account.
They stole 17k USD from my account just by saying I violated user acceptable policy which I didn't so I told them and they asked me for documents and after providing all legal documents and proof their employee said to me that If I want my money back take legal action That's the only way they can't do anything. Before I was scammed by a customer who took my product worth almost 2.5K USD and also got refunded his money when I contact Paypal they said they can't do anything because the user used a credit card to pay through Paypal. Will anybody tell me how can I join a class lawsuit & where?
Wow! This just happened to me last Friday. I am a movie producer and one our investors sent $5K for a 1% interest in our feature films. When I received the funds to my Paypal business account they took a $150 from his $5K. Since they took a $150 I attempted to refund his $5K. To make a long story short they sent me a an email saying I can no longer do business with Paypal and my investor's money is still in my business Paypal I have no criminal record and I didn't do anything illegal so I couldn't understand the ban. I did get a hold of a customer service representative last Wednesday and they said they had some "background" team do another investigation and reconsider. I still haven't heard from them about a decision and I sure hope I have to go through the 180 days to get my investor his refund.
@@paulm5441 For sure since they are seem to automate a lot of things these days. But you would think they would make it easier when you can finally talk to a real person to solve an issue.
You can set automated withdraw of full amount every single day, so the day they decide to play hard ball with your account, you will only be 1 day of income behind.. So the account would be close to empty. I agree don't keep money in there, big mistake lol
Hey, I’m having the same problem. My account has been closed for 180 days for no reason at all. I’m just wondering although you got the money back, are you able to still use PayPal at all?
I have a question. My account was restricted and PayPal said things about being fined for the "exposure" caused by me, and that if I don't pay they would take legal action. How do I know if I can get fined? Because I really didn't do anything wrong, they just closed it pretty much arbitrarily.
@@aaronloudnwireless Absolutely old mate. Not so long ago in Australia, if people transferred money to other people's accounts, the Banks would hold it for a week and invest it on the Short Term Money Market before allowing it to be deposited. Fortunately a Labour Government finally got elected and stopped it.
Hey, this is the first time I've learned of this situation, so thanks. It makes me wonder if there's a correlation between PayPal's antics and eBay's decision to move away from using PayPal for their payment services. I thought eBay owned PayPal at some point, but now eBay handles all of their payments in house. 🤔
Hi Aaron, have you been reimbursed since you published this video? I am writing because I am another victim. My Paypal account was suddenly blocked last week for no given reason. After many attempts and an hours of waiting on the phone I reached a supervisor named Dora who told me there is nothing they can do to unblock my account. She also refused to give me a reason for the blockage and told me that my money will be held for 180 days and there is no guarantee it will be sent back. I am absolutely furious and in shock that after years of using this company they seem intent to steal my income. On top of that they don't even attempt to offer an explanation. Does anyone know of any class action law suits that are being filed in 2023?
Join the class action lawsuit against PayPal that was filed 2 weeks ago. It's the only way we're going to bring change and force paypal to not take advantage of their customers.
Did you know that your money made new money while they held it? Did you know some people went bankrupt or got a serious financial blow because of this action? This was news to me. Time to pay close atention...
Dear Aaron what an engagement You‘ve put up with them, to a get Your money back and b to stand up for Your RIGHTS. This is a very good example, how a big firm like this, absolutely unfounded cheats other people and there hard earned money. I‘m sorry for the errors in my comment, I‘m swiss and English IS NOT MY MOTHER-TONGUE
So, the PayPal System worked on you. You should have joint the law suit! They misled you, like thousand of other PayPal User. It is a criminal organisation and you played their game.
Thank you sir for this very useful information. Paypal is widely accepted and that is nice for our love ones who can send us very far from home. But trying to get hold of a money in which they are just suspecting of having suspicious transactions. Its their job to ban websites if its not acceptable for paypal not the user's account. 180 days is not that easy to wait they should send compensations if they investigating and result is that your account did not have fraud transactions and if they proved that you have then 180 days is more than enough.
If pay pal does not accommodate you and soon I would turn your case over to you AG in your state and to the Federal Trade Commission. That should then work for you because they are not going to want to get on a list that they can't do business in your state. Because it has to to with your money not their money and they don't seem to be following their own guidelines the FTC could give them a huge fine and also get you money. You might even mention that this looks like a company that should be fined so they don't do this to others. Some companies only learn when they have to pay. Just trying to help. Good Luck.
Same thing happened to me. They stole my money after 4 months. No reasons given. Daylight robbery. Do not leave money in your Paypal account, they will find a reason to take it.
In 99% of the freezing cases you are forced into arbitration and you will lose. We need action from state Attorney Generals, but we all know that will not happen.
PayPal, is very clearly, a scummy company. I have an account, but I intend to close it, especially now that even eBay realises how terrible it is. Glad you got your money back/
I couldnt get my money back after 180days. Paypal said I damaged to their business for some reasons never tell me 😂😂 . And i am not american. I can not join the class action lawsuits. I lost 4000usd because PayPal korea warned me do not withdraw every week 😂😂
May PayPal perish wuth their wickedness😢 Someone cannot endure all this process i leggitly earn the money send to my PayPal account or Not😢 Who own thus company from the first place 😳 Like so much nonsense🎉
Congrats on getting your money back. That happened to me too. Over 10 years later... I check about once a year, but I am still banned. PayPal claimed that the amount that was frozen, was eaten in fees. My bank closed my account because the balance went negative. I lost over $80K from "PayPal Fees" and forced refunds to buyers who received the items they purchased. My credit score was destroyed because I could not pay my monthly expenses on time for 180 days. I was forced to give up making money online and I had to start working a traditional 9-5 job. My income dropped from $20K per month (Online) to $12-$15'Hr (9-5 Jobs). My quality of life, and time-freedom - gone.10 years after PayPal stole my $80K, I see they are still jacking peoples' accounts. Since 2020, I've turned down numerous high paying remote employment offers, because the companies only use PayPal for payroll. Banned for life... Banned from work-from-home... I'm on my feet now, but I'm praying for the day that someone uses ChatGPT or some other A.I. to make a PayPal Killer.
Thank you for that very important message. I will be very cautious.
Thanks for brining awareness on this and glad you got your funds back
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Number 1 solution don't use PayPal anymore

Very useful information. Thanks for sharing Aaron. I only use paypal to pay, never to receive money, but is good to know.
Just withdraw the moment you receive money

I do not use paypal and I am so bloody relieved I don’t. What a nightmare for you, Aaron. So glad you got your money back.
Thanks... I'm just glad that it's over
I bet they made interest on your money and others, good that you made this public

Only way to get your account restore is to file a complain to BBB
@@kevtheexplorer how please
@@kevtheexplorer Really? That easy?
@@kevtheexplorerthey don't restore your account, they might respond, but they won't do anything.
they should be boycotted
is there any other alternative from paypal?
Sometimes when you want to get things done, you have to make people lose face.
I have the same problem they took away 3.9k just cos they thought that I was lent 18 but I am I have provided them with my id before

Paypal's policies are really bad. Even if you violate user agreement terms , they wont even tell you what you did wrong and refuse to elaborate
Very Bad and Baddest
May they fail to zero🎉
And they still didn't tell you why you were "banned". Arbitrary is the word.
Try calling them if you have this issue.
They banned my account and there have some USD. After 180 days later they took my money. How can I get back my money?
I cant withdraw funds after 180 days... Pls help me what to do.. I need the money for my family
You should have contacted a lawyer immediately.

180 days ban is absurd in the first place. Especially for things related to real money
Exactly!
fr bro... PayPal been too harsh these last few years...😓
Many people affected
