Paypal Took all my money under the note: PayPal's damages caused by Acceptable Use Policy violation

[Hafidox]

Hi,

Hope you guys are doing great.

to give a little background of what happened, I was selling on eBay since March 2018, and using my personal PayPal account, I had this Paypal account way before I started selling on eBay.

Fast forward this year 2020 in April, where my Paypal had a somewhat consistent cash flow over these 2 years each month (500$ - 2000$). It all started when an item I was selling at ~300$ was trending because of the pandemic and people staying home, so my Paypal was receiving somewhat unusual sums of money which caused it to be limited for verification.

I sent them the documents they asked for ( proof of address ) and proof of fulfillment which I did within the 1st week the account got limited. But even though I submitted these documents my Paypal was still limited and I contacted them several times with no response. 

less than a week passed and boom, my account was permanently limited, and all the money is held for 180 days. Naturally, I contacted them again and again to know why, but with no definite answer. And I gave up and decided to wait the 180 days.

On the 22nd September ( 2 months left for the 180 days ), Paypal just transferred all the money as you can see on the image below leaving 0.00$ and no way to have it back.

After I checked that note, I found this policy will be applied by the 16th of June, and as I told you my Paypal was permanently limited before that, so how could I avoid it if I wanted to. And what gives them the right to just take all my hard-earned money in one transfer.

Sorry for this long message but I had to give you the background of the whole problem, any advice to have my money back will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that, did you experience a similar issue ( 180 days limit and Paypal Transferred all the money before 180 days? ).

Also please add a picture of the transfer so they can see this transfer exists really and Paypal does take all your money. 

Thanks

We should gather everyone who had the same problem, if you have a friend or someone you know with the same problem give him the link to reply here with a screenshot of the amount they took. I will post it in some groups, you can too.

Hello, I have the same problem, paypal blocked my account for 180 days and they transfered all my money the 22nd of september. I provide social media marketing services and i don’t understand why they took my money. It’s 13 131,20 euros it’s a very big money for me. I will not give up, I will engage lawsuits and do all to take my money back. If someone else is interested and wants to join the classe action, we can create a group.

Hi and thank you very much for sharing your story, I'm really sorry for your loss.

I'm posting in e-commerce groups so everyone can post in here and share their story, also once there is a fair amount of money collectively we can push Paypal to refund our money because this is stealing plain and simple.

Also, if you could please post a screenshot of that transaction it would be great.
