Thank you for posting this. PayPal has been incredibly dodgy and giving me the run around on releasing money that I honestly earned. Filing my complaint to the BBB today.
Thanks for the advice, just filed my complaint to BBB. It's crazy that even customer service had no power to release held funds, even though all requested criteria had been met.
I have years dealing with this kind of stuff from them. I'm done with them I can't believe it. Thanks god I found this, it's really helpful to find not only one but a whole comment section of people who's fighting the same situation.
I’ve just started using it because depop make you in order to sell things and they’ve already put £70 on hold and for a 17 year old on £4.35 an hour that’s a lot of money...
Same! I’ve joined up to £120 perfect and withdrawn it. Now I’ve been making more and they’ve kept it on hold and idk what to do I’m basically paying for my orders with my own money it’s ridiculous. I’ve just stated on my depop that from now I will not be accepting PayPal purchases and only bank transfers
lawson higgins I just ended up waiting and it gave me the money 3 weeks after.... I asked the people to confirm payments after it arrived like everyone suggested and it still took ages for the money to go into my account :/
lawson higgins if you do shipping through depop it automatically takes the money for shipping straight away and the money left in your account is the money from the item minus the shipping and the 10% that depop take x
There's this uploader called Beast of Ecom who I bet was paid by Paypal to act as spokesperson and say Paypal is not truly evil. He refers to them like theyre not so bad after all. SAying things like Paypal is human, Just be persistent because eventually you will get your money, giving tips on be nice in everything you and do naturally the gods will smile down and you and there will be butterfiles and fairies! Maaannn I've followed all these rules and made sure every transaction made on PP was legit to the T. but guesss what? I still got FU*@ed in the @$$ This guy had "80k" frozen by the Devil, yet somehow the way he refers to Paypal feels like their BFFs! His deamenour is not someone who was screwed over on a large amount. Heck, even rich People get fired up if sombody screws them over $500. SMH I've watched every video of victims relating to Paypal limiting accounts and they all speak truthfully. Like a scorned victim rightfully so. So yes, he did eventually get his money back after a lenghty period of following Paypal's every order (Hitler-ish) after jumping over hoops of fire yet with no degree of certainty if it will work at all. Every waking hour you hope and pray anxiously, Im sure everyone will relate as you wait day to day for Paypal golden Nod for you to finally get the money.. Money that was 100% yours to begin with. SMHHHHH Imagine the psychological damage it brings to those who truly were in need of that money. Paypal holds your hard earned money, puts up an electric fence and says NO NO NO and despite the fact that they've alreaady charged you ridiculous fees at the get-go. My points are: 1) The act of generating an income is never easy. 2) When you do eventually come up with your business plan, then comes the act of performing an actual SALE. Tons of variables in that like customer buying mood, convincing the cust, competitor challenges etc etc etc 3) After sweating it out and finally get a Sale, here comes Paypal flashing their "I can limit your account" BADGES like they the FBI! *** So in essence, the MONEY that I drew sweat blood tears, is not really my money??? #paypal #paypalsucks #paypalscam
PayPal is a very common online payment site, it is widely used and is accepted as a payment in plenty of sites. But the con is that your account could get limited which sucks.
Thank you so much for this video I am experiencing the very same problems and its been debilitating to my life the past two months. It was helpful and I appreciate it. PayPal is absolutely ridiculous I am taking myself and my clients to a different company. That is about 20 clients you have lost PayPal (and more to come) because you couldn't invest in being a solid, caring company. I'm so displeased.
PayPal lures you in for a time then they hold your funds. The steps it takes to unlock your money takes you into a repetitive circle. This guy is right! They don’t do it to every single person, but enough for them to make millions. They waited until I had hundreds in sales before they struck. I don’t know why the government doesn’t shut them down. Their customer service just mocks you with sarcasm and sends you the same steps over and over. They’re simply evil. Please don’t be their next victim!
Hello. Just wanted to let everyone know that this happened to me in March 2021. Soon after hearing that my funds were frozen for 180 days, I followed the steps in this video and Paypal reached out about 16 days after filing a complaint with BBB and Attorney General. They released my funds and I just transferred the funds into my bank account. It worked! Thanks so much for making this video. I appreciate you!
Which attorney general ? I bet this method should and could be used with stripe and square which behave the same way from what I’ve read . I just don’t know what gateways to go with after reading only bad negative stuff about them all- stripe, sqaure , PayPal
@@Pikachinno Yeah I don't like it crazy thing is if you call paypal they claim they hold all funds thats a lie My funds just started being put on hold this year I tell them and they tell me thats not true
I also had to wait for 180 days, still couldn't get my money. As you described they bullied me into giving every single personal detail of my entire life, I was done with it and threatened to make a police report. The next day I got my money back, they are thieves and they know it.
First of all I'd like to thank you for the video. Sorry for what you and others have experienced. However, I am grateful that I had zero in my pay pal account when a lien was placed on it by the tax controller's office (I can put money in, but cannot withdraw funds.) The tax controller's office tried to collect money from me, not because money was owed, but because they claim I did not file 0 taxes, during the period in question. However, I do have records of speaking with someone and reporting 0 taxes. What's sad is that these people have no problem with misuse of your social. Since I've tried to use my gifts (writer/designer) to help others (charities etc.) I've be met with opposition. My goal is to have attorneys on board so I can effectively do what I am passionate about which is to use my gifts to provide solutions. Again thank you.
Our church ministry has been sending funds to Kenya to care for our elderly members for 6.5 years with no problem and then they put a hold on the receiver's account. I will do these steps. Thanks for the post. We are trying to keep feeding hungry people.
Even opening an account with them is like pulling teeth. Their customer service not very good...can't properly explain what it is what they need so an easy thing took long. Frustrating!
FINALLY! I'm not alone in this world! These people at PayPal just keep copying and pasting the emails they send me without ever helping me get MY money back! 7 months & countless emails already...They even tell me that my National ID & Passport are not accepted, WTH??? Who am I to get them another one?
I really think PayPal is holding the money to invest in somewhere else. It happened to a few friends of mine, who are merely transferring money to friends. They are all are long-time consistent PayPal users. As soon as the transfer amount exceeds $500, it gets frozen, though they had never tell people not to exceed that amount.
Hi Miss Leanne! If you are looking for a virtual assistant to help you in your drop shipping business, I can work for you. I have an experience working in drop shipping business.
Hi Leanne, what's the best alternative you use for online transactions? I'm using paypal and about to close it due to the fact that my money on my paypal balance gone with no clue and i get no clarification or any answers from paypal as to why the money on my balance disappeared. How about payoneer? Any suggestions for the best alternatives?
I am also a South African and I am currently facing the same situation, I still can't believe they would do such a thing without any explanation, and that's how I get paid because I work in international brands
Problem is if you are an eBay seller there is no alternative. It is so counterproductive to have to wait 21 days for my money every time I make a sales.
I sell stuff on Depop, and I just sold 70$ worth of items. It’s been pending for 3 weeks now and I’m not sure what to do. I have to use paypal to receive money from the items I’ve sold
Thank you for this video I new this was true I've been trying to get my account restrictions off given a huge amount of info to them they still determine to keep my money i hate these people im never using them again I will spend countless time slandering there name for sure all over every social media page
Thank you for this video. It's an eye-opener. I had issues with them too. Paypal held my money for 30 days, Like, I don't know why There is no one in Paypal to talk to. I am a Freelance VA from the Philippines, and I deserve to receive my payment because I work hard for it.
@@ProjectSuccessMastery they said that If I want my money quicker I need to concat the buyer and he needs to confirm to PayPal that he has recived the package. The buyer dont respond so...
@@ProjectSuccessMastery but first of all, why they Ask for that package number for telling that I can get my money within 24h if it doesnt work? Second of all, he could have paid via a credit card, how the hell then he can confirm to PayPal?!
They've restricted my account for over a year. I'm going to finally resolve it now. They say I need to verify my identity but I have already given my passport information.
Once your account is permanently limited, do a complete refund to your customer so the money goes back to them. But before you do that, contact your buyer and ask them to do an alternative payment to you. Maybe even give them 5-10% off. If they trust you, they will send you the money via a bank deposit or Skrill and then you do a refund so PayPal can’t hold onto that money for 180 days anyway. If you don’t have a bank account linked to your limited PayPal account, you’ll never get your money back even after 180 days. I lost $100 that way. They can’t/won’t release your money even if it’s $5 or $5000. Case closed. Phuck PayPal..
Very true. The problem is that we live in a world where people are so unethical and refunding money to people could end up with them just disappearing with the refund. I'm generalising of course. And true... If you haven't got a bank account linked, you are screwed. It pains me to see people opening accounts with fake details and then wondering why they get limited or can't withdraw money. And I agree with your sentiments about PayPal. Lol... They suck.
@@ProjectSuccessMastery Paypal limits my account. I have $698 in it. I tried to link to my bank account before the limitation. Paypal always say erro. Does this mean even 180 days later, I still don't have any way to get my money back? Can they mail me a check or so? Also I emailed the whole list of pay pal address today and threatened them if i don't have my money back next week I would go file complaint. Would that work?
Sorry to hear about the limit. I would still open a BBB case regardless. If you have a USA account (you can only link that) then it should be OK. Also, they can only send cheques to USA addresses. They will not send cheques world wide. So it entirely depends on where you live. Let me know how it goes.
Project Success Mastery hey bud, I’m from Australia so bit different. Anyway, to solve the issues you need an old PayPal account with history and proven transactions so it’s not scrutinized by PayPal. But if you want to send money overseas just use transferwise. It’s king.
Wow! This is a very big information that could help lots of people using Paypal. I've been a victim also and I suffered 160days waiting for my money. Thank you for creating this video. From now on ill be following you.... Thank you.
I got off a meeting today with a consultant in Australia and they recommended stripe to me because of Paypal holding money. I then decided to do my research and stumbled upon this video which gave me a bit more clarity as to why I should avoid Paypal. Thanks for the video! Also hi from Botswana! 🇧🇼
@@ProjectSuccessMastery Some people say they limit accounts for 90 days or more because they earn money with this for themselves. They use our money to make money on stock markets or something. Like investment. Makes sense actually. Im not surprised.
I was scrolling through some old orders I'd placed with suppliers and found quite a few that I had not received or been refunded for, so I decided to make some refund claims via paypal. There were about 8 such orders, but I only put in claims for the most recent 3. A few weeks pass, when out of the blue, paypal basically accused me of making fraudulent claims and restricted my account. This all happened yesterday, but so far, my account is still functional. The strange thing is, paypal have twice before told me they're closing my account for reasons unknown, yet nothing ever happened; I'm hoping this will be the case this time: and do they not understand the punch in the gut terror they put people through with these threats and unjustified suspensions, or do they simply not give a damn? I know, stupid questions.
I've been fighting with paypal from the turn on the year. I've even been through the Financial Ombudsman here in the UK, and won. But paypal still refused to refund me. My only option is court now apparently 🤨
I own a nonprofit animal rescue in the states and they just played this game with us. We have had animals die because we couldn’t get our funds out of there quick enough before they permanently closed it. I had filed with the BBB before the closure so hoping I get a resolution.
Got my first transaction. Got paid. Not only are 4 dollars gone, but the account was frozen 180 days before I can get that money. I hadn't even used the account for anything but this one transaction.
I've just started using PayPal just a few days ago I nabbed a few clients already but Paypal's holding my money hostage. My first client isn't from the US so they told me they would hold the money and supposedly give it after 7 days of verification whatever the hell that means. My third client sent his payment a day ago and Paypal held it hostage again telling me that they'll release it within 1 day of delivery. But the real confusing part is that when my second client paid up Paypal immediately gave the funds a few minutes after and yet they still haven't given the payments from my 1st and 3rd clients. Just to add more flame to the fire they sent me an email stating that my funds will be given 21 days after I get them unless I complete their bullshit list of requirements so I am no new seller anymore. I mean I can smell bullshit from a mile away, man. They shroud this reasoning with "we just wanna make sure that you ain't a shady fellow" sort of deal but when in reality they just love holding up your money for whatever nefarious goals they have. I don't know anymore if I want to continue my ventures with Paypal anymore.
Best is to steer clear. Specially if you offer online services mate. Because they do not have a clear terms of use, they can just switch you off at any time. Look into getting Stripe.
If anyone’s new to this video, I have a legitimate, INSTANT solution to this. I promise. After heaps of complaining and pushing, a customer service agent told me how to get around it. If you’re interested I’ll explain in the comments below, but I don’t really want to shout it out to the world in case they stop doing it
They are also holding my funds. I was sent money. I’m not a seller or buyer. A simple transaction and the money is being held. They emailed saying it’s being held til ‘buyer’ confirms package. But there is no package at all. Btw, I knew you were SAfrican. By the accent. Kaapstaad is my second home.
@@ProjectSuccessMastery I heard that FNB has their own department dedicated to resolving PayPal issues for South Africans. Do you know anything about this?
Mine was held as well.. I sljuatvstsrted selling on ebay and use paypal to get paid from people who buy. I was on a hold for almost 2 weeks after they got their products, then once they received their products it was going right in.
What I figured out that works as of late for my ebay business is to open a claim and send them all the tracking info along with any proof you have that the item arrived and usually gets released that same day or next day. I also noticed the foreign customer service reps get nothing done! If they message you with a foreign name keep trying to submit a claim and eventually you'll get an American rep that will help you. Good luck.
@@mizzstarr510 When I have an issue with PayPal I always open a claim with them and give them some time they will usually respond within the same day or next day. If you do not get the outcome you want from them just try again until you do. It has taken me up to 2 times to usually fix my issues.
PayPal put $130 on hold with goods and services. I shipped the item and they received an emailing saying when the money would be released to me and it was never released.
Papal are screwing me right now, an accommodation payment for over 3weeks now the person I sent the money to can’t receive it, no approval showing on my side,
I sold a jumper on depop a week ago, and PayPal has my money on hold, I’ve edited tracking information even though the girl received her jumper and they still have my money on hold
Unknown B last time I sold something I did it on eBay and my money was on hold for like a solid month and then she asked for a refund because the dress didn’t fit and it would let me refund her but I didn’t have the money in my paypal
I phoned PayPal and because I live in South Africa, I get routed to the call center in "the Philipines of all places" OF ALL PLACES? What do you mean by that?! Wow! Goes to show who you are! Just because you were born some place else doesn't mean youre superior! Why you? OF ALL PEOPLE?!!!!!
Just happened to me. I didn't withdraw a single cent, but they are holding my 40k euros and are applying a 90 day rolling reserve at 50%, this is completely abusive. I'll call them first and ask them for a less strict reserve and release of half of my funds. If that doesn't work, I'll file BBB complaint.
If a small transaction under $100 is on hold should I just wait and see what happens since it’s a new account? Or is there any purpose in lodging a complaint with the BBB? Thank you for this video. I won’t be using PayPal moving forward. It’s ridiculous they can put holds on OUR money.
they are holding 93 dollars my daughter sent me in june 2024..I have no idea why . 5 days ago they said I can withdraw my money but when I tried to enter the ammount to transfer to my bank it wouldnt allow..so I called them back and they have been giving me the run arounds..now a new threat of withholding my money for 180 days is all i got!!!!! THIEVES!!!! REPORT THEM !

I am from India and I transfer money from my PayPal account to my friend who live in UK. After sending it has deducted from my account but I am shock when my friend told me that he didn't receive the payment. I don't know what to do because when I check it's already debit from my account and also it's not there in my PayPal account. Is there anything I can do? Please help Thank you
I have problem about they reversed the money that was paid for me as services & gifts now i have a - balance on paypal will you help me for that my skype is babyjanereyes
My $550 is on hold by PayPal and I have also a balance of $700 which I can’t even withdraw, it says fail when I try for no reason. This is quietly tearing me apart.
I'm surprised you said there is nothing we can do about it ( When it comes to paypal treating theirs customers like trash). I've been a victim of that conduct as well. So let me tell you something. We the people are the ones who are empowering these high profile corporations by using their services ( Case of paypal let them manage our money). So if we as a whole aren't satisfy there are legal ways ( Not sue the company it's a waste of time), actually boycotting the company by setting a world petition against companies who don't respect us. simple let us not give them our business period. They can't survive if we as a whole decide to withdraw our business like any business how big or small their lifeblood is the customers. So never encourage these companies to get away with their disrespectful attitude because they feel they are bigger than the customers who provide them with business.
Someone sent me a deposit on a service and now they are holding it out of nowhere. I’ve been using them for years and had no issues but now over $600 is on hold just because . When I get my money I’m closing all invoices to PayPal .
How long does it REALLY take to get out of new seller status. I Have waited the 60 days requirement before I can withdraw my funds instantly. I've completed all 3 requirements 1. Complete 5 transactions without any buyer disputes, claims, or returns. 2. Receive $100.00 in payments for goods and services. 3. Be a seller, receiving payments with PayPal, for at least 60 days, from the date you receive your first payment. Today is the 65nd day since my first transaction. My funds are still held. Why is that?
Same with my problem.. I'm from Philippines and my friend from Japan send me a money, they already deducted the charge fee but the money in my account is in hold.. it's totally sock and fck.. not recommended to other user sending or receiving money.. I need that money ASAP but what they do they gave me a big problem..fck that Paypal
I sold something for a large sum of money cause I needed the money for christmas and other things only to be surprised by my money being held for 21 days..no warning about it.. this is total bs. I've been a member for years with 100% feedback. It's time to use another auction site.. This will not happen again !!
Paypal put my account on hold on the 11th April 2019 i was told i could with draw my funds after 180 days. I gave all documents requested but nothing my funds have still not been released and its the 6th November 2020. I have emailed, called only to recieve no or false information. It is now resulting in me have to seek legal advice. The amount is £18,000
They are holding £280 after I sold something on eBay and are not letting my money go, so if they don’t within a few days then I was being a law suit against them for fraud
The problem is that you'll lose more by suing them than what they have held up. That's the unfortunate truth of this crap company. Ill start a petition soon.
Hannah Berber I’m really annoyed. I suppose I’ll have to wait 21 days but I’m not trusting that they will give me my money reading some of the reviews online...
Having this issue now. Cancelled two orders and 1000$ worth of money, they keep telling me it’s the vendors then the vendor keeps telling me it’s PayPal. 1000$ and it’s just disappeared. I’m fucking over it and been dealing with this for 3 days
Project Success Mastery I opened a case immediately upon watching your video and signed the petition, I have nothing but problems since opening an account with pay pal. Also found a site called scam-pal that has a lot of contact information for Paypal employees. Already started sending out massive emails and voicemails.. though I doubt it will help. 🤦🏼♀️ thanks for the making this helpful video!!!!
@@rachaelfutch7525 I listed all their emails in my description. Go check out it out. Hope it helps and your BBB case should help. If not, check the list of District Attorneys in my description as well. You can always contact them as well. Good luck and God bless.
I havent used paypal in years because they kept stealing money from my personal bank. I like how they have the authority to withdrawl money without my consent.
Thank you for this information I am going to submit a claim to the better business bureau I had $880 sent to my account they said I could not retrieve my money they then sent the person that had sent me the money a message that he needed to send another 880 which I told him not to and he did so now I have 1760 in my PayPal that I cannot retrieve this is the worst experience with a company I have ever had PAYPAL is a complete train wreck
I worked for Paypal. They are crooks like you don't even know. They will hold funds in order to make interest on YOUR MONEY. Avoid them at all costs. Ebay sucks also...
From one fellow South African to another, thanks for this video. I'm in this boat now and I'm incredibly frustrated and scared that PayPal takes my money. I received the email that my appeal was denied, and that they are holding my money for 180 days...however, I didn't make an appeal for anything? I don't know if I should close my account, or try and wait 180 days... I need to pay my YT partners and I cant. I'm extremely anxious :(
hey! i just turned 18 recently and tried to start up a depop store and paypal were always really terrible ( i think because the items i sold were £100+ in value) so this video felt pretty similar to how they use little tactics to mess with you the real question is (if you mind me asking) how you got over £1m ?! you don’t look a day over 30years old, how have you managed to to accumulate such a large amount at this stage in your life?
Hey man. Congrats on turning 18. Those were the days. I'm 37 actually :). As for the money I've made, it's been a combo of owning a Digital Marketing Agency as well as affiliate marketing, mate. I have lost a shitton of money as well though. My advice is this... 1. Find your passion. 2. Find a problem, then solve it. This video is case in point. It focusses on a very big problem which I sincerely try to solve. It's on a quarter of a million views. 3. Don't be greedy. Always give back. 4. Read books. 5. Don't waste your time on nonsense. Life is short and goes by in a blink of an eye. 6. ALWAYS be honest. 7. Be grateful. 8. Love your friends and family. They will always be there for you, no matter what. 9. Don't fear failure. You learn from it. 10. NEVER give up on yourself. Lots of ra ra stuff, but trust me on this... oh and read this: iamru.me/just-build-a-damn-deck/ Good luck on your journey my friend. God bless.
I tried going in to BBB.org. Started filling in the complaint questions but I don't know which Paypal office to lodge against.

Over 8K+ STOLEN by PayPal for 180 days. Not to mention, my GF had $300 in her business account frozen for 180 days. And on the day it was supposed to release, PayPal stole it and literally kept it. How insane!
Man this is some B.S!! They just took $12,000 from me. They put my money on hold and said i have to wait 180 days to get my money back.... and now they're not accepting calls anymore due to the coronavirus.... man im PISSED!!!
Aah man. That sucks!! I waited 200 days for my money and that after i had to threaten them. Have you tried opening a BBB case? I absolutely hate PayPal. They literally screw people's lives up and the biggest joke of all is they simply do not care. Maybe i should make more of these videos to get more people to do more. Because it is obvious that they have people of power in their pockets. Nobody simply gets away with the stuff they get away with.
I actually just had to threaten them to release my funds or I'm going to do exactly what you did then I found this video good it worked hopefully works for me

So yes, he did eventually get his money back after a lenghty period of following Paypal's every order (Hitler-ish) after jumping over hoops of fire yet with no degree of certainty if it will work at all. Every waking hour you hope and pray anxiously, Im sure everyone will relate as you wait day to day for Paypal golden Nod for you to finally get the money.. Money that was 100% yours to begin with. SMHHHHH Imagine the psychological damage it brings to those who truly were in need of that money.
Paypal holds your hard earned money, puts up an electric fence and says NO NO NO and despite the fact that they've alreaady charged you ridiculous fees at the get-go.
My points are:
1) The act of generating an income is never easy.
2) When you do eventually come up with your business plan, then comes the act of performing an actual SALE. Tons of variables in that like customer buying mood, convincing the cust, competitor challenges etc etc etc
3) After sweating it out and finally get a Sale, here comes Paypal flashing their "I can limit your account" BADGES like they the FBI!
*** So in essence, the MONEY that I drew sweat blood tears, is not really my money???

PayPal is a very common online payment site, it is widely used and is accepted as a payment in plenty of sites. But the con is that your account could get limited which sucks.
Thank you so much for this video I am experiencing the very same problems and its been debilitating to my life the past two months. It was helpful and I appreciate it. PayPal is absolutely ridiculous I am taking myself and my clients to a different company. That is about 20 clients you have lost PayPal (and more to come) because you couldn't invest in being a solid, caring company. I'm so displeased.
Thank you for the kind words and support. I have lost $100ks because of Paypal. Horrible company.
PayPal lures you in for a time then they hold your funds. The steps it takes to unlock your money takes you into a repetitive circle. This guy is right! They don’t do it to every single person, but enough for them to make millions. They waited until I had hundreds in sales before they struck. I don’t know why the government doesn’t shut them down. Their customer service just mocks you with sarcasm and sends you the same steps over and over. They’re simply evil. Please don’t be their next victim!
Hello. Just wanted to let everyone know that this happened to me in March 2021. Soon after hearing that my funds were frozen for 180 days, I followed the steps in this video and Paypal reached out about 16 days after filing a complaint with BBB and Attorney General. They released my funds and I just transferred the funds into my bank account. It worked! Thanks so much for making this video. I appreciate you!
That's incredible news!! So happy to hear that!!
Which attorney general ? I bet this method should and could be used with stripe and square which behave the same way from what I’ve read . I just don’t know what gateways to go with after reading only bad negative stuff about them all- stripe, sqaure , PayPal

@@muhammedabdulbasitolalekan2739 WHO?
Me to!
@@Pikachinno Yeah I don't like it crazy thing is if you call paypal they claim they hold all funds thats a lie My funds just started being put on hold this year I tell them and they tell me thats not true
Same here
They say the most it will take is 21 days is that actually true?
I also had to wait for 180 days, still couldn't get my money. As you described they bullied me into giving every single personal detail of my entire life, I was done with it and threatened to make a police report. The next day I got my money back, they are thieves and they know it.
mine is being held in another country - can I do police reports online ?
@@casey-leederidder2080you can't do anything about it not unless you complain them to your central bank.
DAMNN
Thats a real threat, I like it
I will try that
First of all I'd like to thank you for the video. Sorry for what you and others have experienced. However, I am grateful that I had zero in my pay pal account when a lien was placed on it by the tax controller's office (I can put money in, but cannot withdraw funds.) The tax controller's office tried to collect money from me, not because money was owed, but because they claim I did not file 0 taxes, during the period in question. However, I do have records of speaking with someone and reporting 0 taxes. What's sad is that these people have no problem with misuse of your social. Since I've tried to use my gifts (writer/designer) to help others (charities etc.) I've be met with opposition. My goal is to have attorneys on board so I can effectively do what I am passionate about which is to use my gifts to provide solutions. Again thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. It indeed is super frustrating when you do good things and are being taken advantage of. God bless.
The way you stuck it to PayPal in this video is inspiring
Why who disliked this? Wth. You helped me out a lot! Stay safe man
Thanks mate. Appreciate it
I found and watched your video, I've now filed my complaint wit BBB so thank you for this information.
After I get my money am back am deleting my account
Ola’s World 🌎 me too but that’s the only option after 180 days you are only given the opportunity to withdraw
Randy Chris I couldn’t withdraw the money because it was ‘too little’ even thought they took a few 🤦🏾♀️
Ola’s World I think we are all with you on that
Our church ministry has been sending funds to Kenya to care for our elderly members for 6.5 years with no problem and then they put a hold on the receiver's account. I will do these steps. Thanks for the post. We are trying to keep feeding hungry people.
Even opening an account with them is like pulling teeth. Their customer service not very good...can't properly explain what it is what they need so an easy thing took long. Frustrating!
talk to another person until you get help. depends who you talk to. dont give up. start a store, they will help you more.
FINALLY! I'm not alone in this world! These people at PayPal just keep copying and pasting the emails they send me without ever helping me get MY money back! 7 months & countless emails already...They even tell me that my National ID & Passport are not accepted, WTH??? Who am I to get them another one?
I really think PayPal is holding the money to invest in somewhere else. It happened to a few friends of mine, who are merely transferring money to friends. They are all are long-time consistent PayPal users. As soon as the transfer amount exceeds $500, it gets frozen, though they had never tell people not to exceed that amount.
Thank you for this video, I'm just on my journey into dropshipping and I am glad I seen this before letting Paypal into my business.
Hi Miss Leanne! If you are looking for a virtual assistant to help you in your drop shipping business, I can work for you. I have an experience working in drop shipping business.
@@ronaamatorio3498 Thank you , I will keep that in mind.
Hi Leanne, what's the best alternative you use for online transactions? I'm using paypal and about to close it due to the fact that my money on my paypal balance gone with no clue and i get no clarification or any answers from paypal as to why the money on my balance disappeared. How about payoneer? Any suggestions for the best alternatives?
I am also a South African and I am currently facing the same situation, I still can't believe they would do such a thing without any explanation, and that's how I get paid because I work in international brands
It's horrible!! Have you found another solution? I use PayFast now and they are great!
Does payfast accept payments if they are in a different currency other than ZAR, I run a Shopify store and my prices are in USD

Lol .. don't use PayPal !
@@novmbr70jesuslovesyou72 ye

100% agree!!
Problem is if you are an eBay seller there is no alternative. It is so counterproductive to have to wait 21 days for my money every time I make a sales.
I sell stuff on Depop, and I just sold 70$ worth of items. It’s been pending for 3 weeks now and I’m not sure what to do. I have to use paypal to receive money from the items I’ve sold
there are no alternatives in most countries
Thanks so much bro,,I have tried to contact them, but to no avail,,I think this can help!!
Thank you for this video I new this was true I've been trying to get my account restrictions off given a huge amount of info to them they still determine to keep my money i hate these people im never using them again I will spend countless time slandering there name for sure all over every social media page
Best of luck mate.
Thank you for this video. It's an eye-opener. I had issues with them too. Paypal held my money for 30 days, Like, I don't know why There is no one in Paypal to talk to. I am a Freelance VA from the Philippines, and I deserve to receive my payment because I work hard for it.
what did u do? I'm from ph too
Packaged I have had sent was delivered 96h ago and MY money is still on hold. Never had this many issuses with any company that I have with PayPal.
Has it been released?
@@ProjectSuccessMastery no :)
No response from them either i presume?
@@ProjectSuccessMastery they said that If I want my money quicker I need to concat the buyer and he needs to confirm to PayPal that he has recived the package. The buyer dont respond so...
@@ProjectSuccessMastery but first of all, why they Ask for that package number for telling that I can get my money within 24h if it doesnt work? Second of all, he could have paid via a credit card, how the hell then he can confirm to PayPal?!
Surprised they haven’t been sued yet. They’re holding my money and it’s been over 24 hours. They have no intention of releasing my money.
@Bash Geek They just restricted my account so now I can’t send money or withdraw my money 😭
Don't listen to him or anyone claiming they can get your account back. EVER. They are scammers!! Best is to contact BBB.
@@ProjectSuccessMastery oh I know. That’s why I ignored him. Thank you! :)
They've restricted my account for over a year. I'm going to finally resolve it now. They say I need to verify my identity but I have already given my passport information.
@@ElysianWorld same here
Once your account is permanently limited, do a complete refund to your customer so the money goes back to them. But before you do that, contact your buyer and ask them to do an alternative payment to you. Maybe even give them 5-10% off. If they trust you, they will send you the money via a bank deposit or Skrill and then you do a refund so PayPal can’t hold onto that money for 180 days anyway.
If you don’t have a bank account linked to your limited PayPal account, you’ll never get your money back even after 180 days. I lost $100 that way. They can’t/won’t release your money even if it’s $5 or $5000.
Case closed. Phuck PayPal..
Very true. The problem is that we live in a world where people are so unethical and refunding money to people could end up with them just disappearing with the refund. I'm generalising of course. And true... If you haven't got a bank account linked, you are screwed. It pains me to see people opening accounts with fake details and then wondering why they get limited or can't withdraw money. And I agree with your sentiments about PayPal. Lol... They suck.
Project Success Mastery well said mate. Also look into signing up with transferwise, they act like global banks without the huge fees.
@@ProjectSuccessMastery Paypal limits my account. I have $698 in it. I tried to link to my bank account before the limitation. Paypal always say erro. Does this mean even 180 days later, I still don't have any way to get my money back? Can they mail me a check or so? Also I emailed the whole list of pay pal address today and threatened them if i don't have my money back next week I would go file complaint. Would that work?
Sorry to hear about the limit. I would still open a BBB case regardless. If you have a USA account (you can only link that) then it should be OK. Also, they can only send cheques to USA addresses. They will not send cheques world wide. So it entirely depends on where you live. Let me know how it goes.
Project Success Mastery hey bud, I’m from Australia so bit different. Anyway, to solve the issues you need an old PayPal account with history and proven transactions so it’s not scrutinized by PayPal. But if you want to send money overseas just use transferwise. It’s king.
Wow! This is a very big information that could help lots of people using Paypal. I've been a victim also and I suffered 160days waiting for my money. Thank you for creating this video. From now on ill be following you.... Thank you.
These guys are awful. Holding everyone’s money and not responding.
I got off a meeting today with a consultant in Australia and they recommended stripe to me because of Paypal holding money. I then decided to do my research and stumbled upon this video which gave me a bit more clarity as to why I should avoid Paypal. Thanks for the video! Also hi from Botswana! 🇧🇼
Had to come back and thank you, I got my money!
WHAT?!!? That's amazing!!! So happy for you!!
I’m so happy for you! How did you get it back?

LOL... thanks mate. But they are thieves... straight up!!
@@ProjectSuccessMastery Some people say they limit accounts for 90 days or more because they earn money with this for themselves. They use our money to make money on stock markets or something. Like investment. Makes sense actually. Im not surprised.
Yeah I also heard that. It does make sense....
I was scrolling through some old orders I'd placed with suppliers and found quite a few that I had not received or been refunded for, so I decided to make some refund claims via paypal. There were about 8 such orders, but I only put in claims for the most recent 3. A few weeks pass, when out of the blue, paypal basically accused me of making fraudulent claims and restricted my account. This all happened yesterday, but so far, my account is still functional. The strange thing is, paypal have twice before told me they're closing my account for reasons unknown, yet nothing ever happened; I'm hoping this will be the case this time: and do they not understand the punch in the gut terror they put people through with these threats and unjustified suspensions, or do they simply not give a damn? I know, stupid questions.
They do understand what they're doing.
0:23 "PayPal is the biggest digital payments thieves " 😂
It's true
I've been fighting with paypal from the turn on the year. I've even been through the Financial Ombudsman here in the UK, and won. But paypal still refused to refund me. My only option is court now apparently 🤨
I own a nonprofit animal rescue in the states and they just played this game with us. We have had animals die because we couldn’t get our funds out of there quick enough before they permanently closed it. I had filed with the BBB before the closure so hoping I get a resolution.
Did it get fixed?
love this man!
Lol... Thnx dude
Got my first transaction. Got paid. Not only are 4 dollars gone, but the account was frozen 180 days before I can get that money. I hadn't even used the account for anything but this one transaction.
I've just started using PayPal just a few days ago I nabbed a few clients already but Paypal's holding my money hostage. My first client isn't from the US so they told me they would hold the money and supposedly give it after 7 days of verification whatever the hell that means.
My third client sent his payment a day ago and Paypal held it hostage again telling me that they'll release it within 1 day of delivery.
But the real confusing part is that when my second client paid up Paypal immediately gave the funds a few minutes after and yet they still haven't given the payments from my 1st and 3rd clients. Just to add more flame to the fire they sent me an email stating that my funds will be given 21 days after I get them unless I complete their bullshit list of requirements so I am no new seller anymore.
I mean I can smell bullshit from a mile away, man. They shroud this reasoning with "we just wanna make sure that you ain't a shady fellow" sort of deal but when in reality they just love holding up your money for whatever nefarious goals they have. I don't know anymore if I want to continue my ventures with Paypal anymore.
Best is to steer clear. Specially if you offer online services mate. Because they do not have a clear terms of use, they can just switch you off at any time. Look into getting Stripe.
If anyone’s new to this video, I have a legitimate, INSTANT solution to this. I promise.
After heaps of complaining and pushing, a customer service agent told me how to get around it.
If you’re interested I’ll explain in the comments below, but I don’t really want to shout it out to the world in case they stop doing it

What I figured out that works as of late for my ebay business is to open a claim and send them all the tracking info along with any proof you have that the item arrived and usually gets released that same day or next day. I also noticed the foreign customer service reps get nothing done! If they message you with a foreign name keep trying to submit a claim and eventually you'll get an American rep that will help you. Good luck.
Open a claim with PayPal on each transaction even when your account is limited? I just want to ask because my account is limited right now
@@mizzstarr510 When I have an issue with PayPal I always open a claim with them and give them some time they will usually respond within the same day or next day. If you do not get the outcome you want from them just try again until you do. It has taken me up to 2 times to usually fix my issues.
PayPal put $130 on hold with goods and services. I shipped the item and they received an emailing saying when the money would be released to me and it was never released.

Just happened to me. I didn't withdraw a single cent, but they are holding my 40k euros and are applying a 90 day rolling reserve at 50%, this is completely abusive.

I'm surprised you said there is nothing we can do about it ( When it comes to paypal treating theirs customers like trash). I've been a victim of that conduct as well. So let me tell you something. We the people are the ones who are empowering these high profile corporations by using their services ( Case of paypal let them manage our money). So if we as a whole aren't satisfy there are legal ways ( Not sue the company it's a waste of time), actually boycotting the company by setting a world petition against companies who don't respect us. simple let us not give them our business period. They can't survive if we as a whole decide to withdraw our business like any business how big or small their lifeblood is the customers. So never encourage these companies to get away with their disrespectful attitude because they feel they are bigger than the customers who provide them with business.
Someone sent me a deposit on a service and now they are holding it out of nowhere. I’ve been using them for years and had no issues but now over $600 is on hold just because . When I get my money I’m closing all invoices to PayPal .

hi, did you eventually get help? did they release your money?
hey! i just turned 18 recently and tried to start up a depop store and paypal were always really terrible ( i think because the items i sold were £100+ in value) so this video felt pretty similar to how they use little tactics to mess with you
the real question is (if you mind me asking) how you got over £1m ?! you don’t look a day over 30years old, how have you managed to to accumulate such a large amount at this stage in your life?
Hey man. Congrats on turning 18. Those were the days. I'm 37 actually :). As for the money I've made, it's been a combo of owning a Digital Marketing Agency as well as affiliate marketing, mate. I have lost a shitton of money as well though. My advice is this...

2. Find a problem, then solve it. This video is case in point. It focusses on a very big problem which I sincerely try to solve. It's on a quarter of a million views.
3. Don't be greedy. Always give back.
4. Read books.
5. Don't waste your time on nonsense. Life is short and goes by in a blink of an eye.
6. ALWAYS be honest.
7. Be grateful.
8. Love your friends and family. They will always be there for you, no matter what.
9. Don't fear failure. You learn from it.
10. NEVER give up on yourself.
Lots of ra ra stuff, but trust me on this... oh and read this: iamru.me/just-build-a-damn-deck/
Good luck on your journey my friend.
God bless.
@@ProjectSuccessMasterythanks sir
I tried going in to BBB.org. Started filling in the complaint questions but I don't know which Paypal office to lodge against. I chose San Jose, was re-directed to California BBB and then the page went blank. How does one get through to anyone in this mad media environment. Please help as I need my money. Ta
Just lost 150 dollars after account closure, i wish i could've seen this sooner, this is gonna stress me for the rest of my life, hope everyone had a good Halloween this year
Sorry about that mate. Tried opening a BBB case?
me too
Over 8K+ STOLEN by PayPal for 180 days. Not to mention, my GF had $300 in her business account frozen for 180 days. And on the day it was supposed to release, PayPal stole it and literally kept it. How insane!
It’s such a bad payment site. I had £8000 stuck in my account for over a year
Indeed they are bad. Did you open a BBB case?
thank you for this, i thought i lost $2000 for 2 years and i found this video at a time i really needed it.
HI, did you finally get help, did they release your funds?
I'm on the hold too. Could set fire to them. Going to try and take payments on eBay without PayPal
What will you use instead of Paypal?
Super bro I love your channel
Thank you so much.
You're the real man
Their crazy and their problem is they dont hit you back up
I subbed when you called them thieves 😂
Why thank you :)
Man this is some B.S!! They just took $12,000 from me. They put my money on hold and said i have to wait 180 days to get my money back.... and now they're not accepting calls anymore due to the coronavirus.... man im PISSED!!!
Aah man. That sucks!! I waited 200 days for my money and that after i had to threaten them. Have you tried opening a BBB case? I absolutely hate PayPal. They literally screw people's lives up and the biggest joke of all is they simply do not care. Maybe i should make more of these videos to get more people to do more. Because it is obvious that they have people of power in their pockets. Nobody simply gets away with the stuff they get away with.
I actually just had to threaten them to release my funds or I'm going to do exactly what you did then I found this video good it worked hopefully works for me
210 days still holding my money and the customer support is closed so I can't get help, good job worst bank ever
That sucks. Did you go onto BBB and open a case?
@@ProjectSuccessMastery nope
@@ProjectSuccessMasteryno I am gonna wait for the customer support to re-open and if they won't or can't help me I will open a case
