Stay till the end of this video, where I will share exactly what you need to do in order for PayPal to release your funds. This has even worked on the infamous "PayPal holding funds for and after 180 days"...
There are a TON of companies and users complaining about PayPal, PayPal holding money hostage, just holding money and how they do business.

There are websites like screwpaypal.com, paypalsucks.com and so on dedicated to blowing the lid off how PayPal treats users and so on.
The long and short of it all is that PayPal are bullies. They use bully tactics and most of the time, we can't do anything about it, they know it and they do not give a damn about you.
DO NOT for all these crappy videos online showing you how to "Hack PayPal" or how to get your money back through other methods. It won't work and you'll either end up getting scammed or just make the situation worse.
Keep your nose clean and you'll get results...
I can help just 1 person get their money back from these cyberbullies, that makes all of this worth it.
See, for about 6 years now I have been using PayPal. In the last 2 years alone, PayPal has processed over $1 million through 1 of my accounts.
Heck, I even had my own personal account manager whom I used to speak with over the phone at least once per month. Things were going great. I got personalised presentations about how my account is doing, etc. Life was good.
Until one fateful day in December of 2018...
I opened my email and BOOM... there it was... "Your account has been permanently limited."
My days of using PayPal was over. Forever.
I tried opening a new account and it went well for about a month... BOOM... another email. Account permanently limited.
During all of this, I tried finding out exactly why this happened and time and again I was told the same thing... "closed due to violating our acceptable use policy".
I go over their Acceptable Use Policy in the video.
Why on earth would I have an account manager, if I was doing anything dodgy?? Why?
Here's where it gets interesting.
After counting the days and waiting for the full 180 days... I logged into my bank, ready to withdraw the money. And so of course, I still wasn't able to withdraw MY money.
I phoned PayPal and because I live in South Africa, I get routed to the call center in the Philipines of all places. They couldn't help and transferred me to the USA.
Now, this happened so many times I lost count. Nobody could help me. On multiple occasions.
I was met with arrogance and in one instance I was even told to "google it". By a supervisor. Yeah!
The only solution I was given was to link a USA bank account to my PayPal to withdraw the money.
Luckily I had a US bank account, but of course this didn't work either.
If ever you're in a situation where PayPal refuses to release your funds, you simply go to a website called the Better Business Bureau.
I opened a case with the BBB and within 1 month, a PayPal representative from the Executive Escalations department contacted me and helped me.
The aim of this video is to help you guys out there as it's incredible how many people are being bullied and taken for a ride by PayPal... and PayPal just keeps getting away with it.
If you ever have issues with PayPal, simply open a BBB case.
The more people who stand up against PayPal, the better.

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
Did you send it as Friends and Family or just normally? If it's not FAF, then you can open a dispute to get the money back.
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
@@ProjectSuccessMastery i just sent normally and it is on hold. what to do? how long does it take
Did they tell you the reason?
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.
Same here. I had to cancel my account due to scammers now just trying to get a replacement card has been a nightmare
Did you get your money?
@@melwineera I did, however I could only use the funds as PayPal online e-payments, which did me no good in paying rent or transfering to cash.
The worst part about this is they don't care if they ruined someone's life
I believe that's their main goal.
Absolutely right ✅️
“PayPal is the biggest digital thief oh sorry” LMAO CRACKS ME REAL HARD 0:26
😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks to *cluomz on Instag* indeed your a genius Sir finally got to activate my locked PayPal account
PayPal are thieves.
Yes they are!!
My understanding is that Elon Musk created PayPal, so that means he will NEVER do any jail time, even though he should!!
@@brucevaccaro5081 doesnt ebay own paypal?
@@StephRenee812 I think they are partners, I may be wrong
Someone really needs to make a better virtual bank
Yeah man!!
cashapp, its great

@@pepsicanpepsi9843 yeah same here. paypal sucks ass
Revolut
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!
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?
Sign of the times. Cashless societies and we lose complete control of our money. They can pull the plug when they want. Food for thought.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
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
Crypto is the solution
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.
Glad I could help
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
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 hope it helps you mate. Good luck.
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.
I’m going through this now with two of my business accounts. You said exactly what I am going through. Step by step word for word!
Isabella Candereva I need PayPal to give me my money one way or another.
they are holding 2300euro in holding for 180days ,i wanted to buy gifts etc for xmas iam soo mad smh
Rency Overman sane here!
That is horrible. Why are they holding it? Did you open a case with the BBB?
Please contact a lawyer..
Same
Thecyberlord. com can be of help
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.
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
Exact same as me have you solved it? Do you just wait?
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 :/
Charlotte McGrady oh wow that’s annoying if there’s a tracking number do you know if the funds will go in if the delivery service confirm delivery
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
I sell on ebay for 6 years they just started holding my funds this year
@@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 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.
Keep up the good work helping people with suspensions! We need more people like you all helping eBay traders.
Appreciate your kind words
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. PayPal currently has € 85,000 locked up
Shit man. Thats an insane amount of money. Any news on whether youll get it back ?
These guys are awful. Holding everyone’s money and not responding.
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
Can You tell me
tell me man ?
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.
Why who disliked this? Wth. You helped me out a lot! Stay safe man
Thanks mate. Appreciate it
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.
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
@@JanineMKartist The attorney general for Paypals California location.
The way you stuck it to PayPal in this video is inspiring
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
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
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 $698 in it. I tried to link to my bank account before the limitation. Paypal always say erro. Does this mean even 180 days later, I still don't have any way to get my money back? Can they mail me a check or so? Also I emailed the whole list of pay pal address today and threatened them if i don't have my money back next week I would go file complaint. Would that work?
Sorry to hear about the limit. I would still open a BBB case regardless. If you have a USA account (you can only link that) then it should be OK. Also, they can only send cheques to USA addresses. They will not send cheques world wide. So it entirely depends on where you live. Let me know how it goes.
Project Success Mastery hey bud, I’m from Australia so bit different. Anyway, to solve the issues you need an old PayPal account with history and proven transactions so it’s not scrutinized by PayPal. But if you want to send money overseas just use transferwise. It’s king.
paypal paypal........ the solution is dont use it
100% agree!!
Problem is if you are an eBay seller there is no alternative. It is so counterproductive to have to wait 21 days for my money every time I make a sales.
I sell stuff on Depop, and I just sold 70$ 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!!
0:23 😂 Liked and subscribed!
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 close my account, because they told me they can do what they want to with my money. Scammers, mobster, crooks. Fuck paypal. I've been with PayPal since 2015.
I've lost THOUSANDS for Dollars through them. They are a bunch of thieves!
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.

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?
Their crazy and their problem is they dont hit you back up
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?!
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.
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...
What do you recommend to unlock account I’m still going through this issue help?
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?!!!!!
Thanks Bro i am based in SA as well and am about to start an online business this info is invaluable
Happy to help brother :)

It's true
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?
PayPal are actually full of shit. I’ve been using my personal PayPal account for years and haven’t had an issue. I opened up a business, registered in the UK with Company House, HMRC & even have all my Tax & VAT codes/numbers. Opened up a business account and while I was sorting that out with a bank, I was using my personal paypal to receive payments from clients.
After everything was sorted, I changed to a PayPal business account and changed all invoices to that account. Literally received my first few payments and I have around £4,300 on hold by PayPal even though I have provided bank accounts, business registrations, VAT numbers everything. They’re giving me the ‘new account’ excuse to hold my funds for 60-90 days..... like seriously.
Paypal is most definitely full of shit. The don't care about anyone. We're all just a number to them
love this man!
Lol... Thnx dude
Super bro I love your channel
Thank you so much.
I subbed when you called them thieves 😂
Why thank you :)
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!
Sigh... thank you fellow South African... I go cry now...
Hahaha... You're welcome. I guess. :)
@@ProjectSuccessMastery I heard that FNB has their own department dedicated to resolving PayPal issues for South Africans. Do you know anything about this?
@@FluffyTails1234 all they do is transfer you to PayPal Philippines which is useless..
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 !!
I live in USA and opened Paypal account in USA. My money is hold and it is my first transfer
Did they give you any indication as to why?
Same case here,they also hold my money at my first transaction ..i don't know why ???
Did they give you any further info about 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.
ms Brilliant that just happened to me did u fix it?
Lena evans class action lawsuit against paypal. Hope they get what's deserved for withholding $.
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
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?
That happened yesterday in a call
Me: Hi, please tell me the reason that you permanent banned my account
them: I dont know why
Me: Are you serious? i cant do anything without paypal and i need to earn money from this, give me someone who knows why i got banned
them: I cant sorry is a permanent ban and we should keep it cause your account is high risk
Me: Is what? i didnt do anything, i didnt even get money yet lol
them: sorry we cant do something we need to close
To close? My account will be close and i CANT even get my credit card back cause im banned :)
Cash app and Venmo are great too, but the only problem is, most of my customers are from other countries, so most of the money I earn is from PayPal. Now I'm barely making anything, all because they wanted to limit my account due to "Suspicous Activity". I showed them all the proof they asked for. ID'S, credit card statements, my SSN, and everything, but nope. I honestly wish The other money transferring apps would be available worldwide like PayPal is.
They just holding 125 us dollars from me today. I have a toothache. A friend of mine send me the money to go to a dentist. So they hold the money for 21 day. I pral the Lord that they don't steal my money. I'm a poor boy. This is not a good way to be rich.stealing from poor people 😭😭
Sorry to hear about your issues. What reason did they give? Also, NEVER fall for anyone claiming they can get your account unlocked. They are scammers.
@@ProjectSuccessMastery i'm actually suffering from toothache cause of paypal keep my money i live in haiti a very poor country. Rich people should not steal money that were donated to me that's a crime.i'm not going to ise paypal anymore. They look suspecious i don't trust paypal and also too much people complaining of bad service
@@hostyproduction6776 did u get ur money now?
The payment I have on hold just so happens to be the most difficult customer ever.
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.
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
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 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 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.
Yeah man, paypal sucks.
How did they withdrawal your money, is that even legally allowed?
Dude u have to pay for paypal
@@fn4lx293 paypal is free to open and free to transfer money to. But if u transfer money from paypal they charge a small percentage.
I am a first time eBay seller. My sale was for 1400 dollars. PayPal put my 1400 dollars in hold! I have uploaded my DL, they have all the shipment info which was signed for on delivery, I have received positive feedback for the item on eBay from the buyer, they have all my checking account info. They still won't release my money. I will never use these crooks again. I have bills to pay and they just don't care. I wish I could sue these fuckers. PS, meanwhile the person that bought my item is already in full possession of it and happy with his purchase.
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.
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
Being a depop seller is frustrating because paypal keeps all my money on hold for a certain amount of days
PayPal is the devil
Unknown B *paypal suspended my account without any good reason and I got it back from cyber_network0 at 1.G he’s reliable*
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
Alanis Marvin it does always come to you eventually just takes a while
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
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,
Paypal sucks
filing a BBB complaint will often not be enough... the only way i find that works is sue them in court & file online complaints at relevant state attourney offices. Yes im a paypal victim also, helping others. this vid will help. I made a bunch on comments in that comment section also. th-cam.com/video/2ZKOpJ1YPCI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for helping out dude. The more people fighting them, the better.
@@ProjectSuccessMastery they are true evil, they really deserve to be put out of business
Its so bad right now with no phone number because of the pandemic ... there holding my money also 😔
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.
Yes this has happens to us. They froze our account then kept our funds of $2200 for damages........ Never use paypal!
They are thieves
Thanks for the tip! I will file a complaint.
Good luck
Did it work? I’m planning to do the same.
@@moalkowatli5078PayPal gave me the money, it was not necessary to file a claim.
Antonio Maranhao Thank you. I think in my case i will need to file a claim, I’m not getting a solid reply from Paypal l.
@@AntonioMaranhaoUSA they gave you your money before 180 days, how?
I just asked for my merchants to make complaints on BBB. Myself too, sick of there crap
Good luck
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 🤨
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.
You're the real man
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?
Shit I'm about to face the same thing, I hate paypal
PayPal are holding my funds because I’m a new account, will they ever release my funds on their own or will I have to take action?
same happened to me and i don’t know what to do :(
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...
@@teganmather1217 same with me..
Omg me too
That's terrible
Same :(
I have lost my lost in this pandemic and sold some of my electronics on ebay and they wont release my money. I have 3 kids that havent had a good meal in 3 days and 1 baby that needs formula, I have been cutting bath towels to use for cloth diapers. I'm glad rent from my mother so I was able to for go rent for this month or I'd be homeless also. This is horrible.
Kerie, my heart goes out to you. This is the reason why I HATE PayPal and why more and more people need to stand up.
1. Have you opened up a BBB case?
2. Have you signed my petition (www.change.org/p/paypal-stop-paypal-from-withholding-people-s-funds-for-no-reason)?
May God be with you and your family and I hope everything works out for you!
@@ProjectSuccessMastery I opened a BBB case and I'm signing your petition right now and I am spreading the word to anyone who will listen.
I was paid by my client 7 days ago and the money is still on hold . Am so tired because it is a business money and I don't know what to do.
Sorry to hear about that. Did they give you any indication as to why?
Hetch Official did you have your money now? If yes, how long does it takes to wait?
They actually dont give any reason why my money is on hold and i just badly need it😢
@@enolperenan6042 does ur money still on hold?
I absolutely hate paypal and do not use them whatsoever. I warned my daughter about them and she didn't listen and now she has about $7,000 which she got from selling items online. She received an email that her account is frozen for 180 days. This sham company needs to be shut the hell down. They have been getting away with stealing people money for way to long

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.
@@ProjectSuccessMasterythanks sir
I must say, on day, their reign will come to an end! As soon as some young kid open a new platform! Most of their customers will switch I will be one of the first!!
Thanks for the information provided, i hope its going to be helpful
You're most welcome

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.
Did you follow up with them? Also, did you download the list of emails I provide in the description?
Project Success Mastery the package was delivered but I never got the payment and it’s on goods and services
Project Success Mastery and the goods and service thing that said it was on hold was in the spam box. I have screenshots

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.
Project Success Mastery thanks! Literally I need the money to pay for stuff in this time of need of what’s happening
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
Was your account a business or personal account ?
My account is a business
Yeah because eBay puts a hold on your money and PayPal puts a hold on your money even though they're the same company they operate under different authorities so they say it's a big tax shelter and they hold your money to draw interest off of it
investing in crypto now is really cool especially with the current rise in the market for now
you 're right ma'am
but don't know why people still remains poor out of ignorance.
Oh yes I did, thank you very much for your kindness and thank God we meet again I'm so happy, thank you once again.
Hey Marry, I did invest with her and I made huge profits thanks for your kindness.
I saw that recommendation but I never bothered chatting her up, damn
A absolute disgrace , they held my , money £80 for a sewing machine I sold on ebay , however they had no problem ,taking ebays fees from that money ? Horrific !
Man, 21 days each payment, and i need to wait about 60 days more to "vErIFied" my account. WTF!
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
