    Hi all,
    Just found out that my account is one of the affected ones... can’t receive, pay or transfer using existing PP funds...
    Fix may take 2-3 days but can be > 7 days...

    So check your PP now and call 02 8223 9500, which gets transferred to IDC anyway...

    Paypal is fine, i use friends and family. I also sell collectibles on ebay, so i usually have money kicking around in my account.

    I guess it's all good till it bugs out!

    I assume this didn't affect our transaction the other day, Bub?

    I had mine frozen with $35,000 in it , my mates in the USA had all their silver but PayPal wanted to try and force me to open a Business account.
    Long story short after almost 3 months they released my funds as they made contact with my mates and had no alternative to allow it as we all claimed it as a Hobby, plus I didn't have all the requirements to make it a business account.
    PRICKS held me to ransom.

    One of the main reason I dont use paypal for international trades. I try to avoid them completely whenever possible.

    As a seller we hate extra fees but as a buyer eBay is generally great. I use it all the time and haven't had any problems. I actually just sent my GF money a few hours ago so hopefully she can cash out otherwise i might be bruised tomorrow.

    Yes PP has replied with BS workarounds...
    - clear catch from browser
    - use different devices to access PP acct...

    of course, these hv been tried

    PP did reply on my other question: will ppl be able to pay me via PP...

    answer: yes, payments via PayPal is not a problem..

    problem: acct holder can’t use PP funds/balance to pay/transfer
