    Pretty much a vault for PP acct holders to access funds

    they closed my account with only a grand in it, told me would take 180 days to get the money. took multiple calls, ombudsman for them to finally release the money well after 180 days, cost me way over a grand in time and effort to chase them. seen this happen multiple times to other people, hope you get it sorted soon.

    Just out of curiosity, did you sign up to the new managed payments system with ebay? Wondering if that has something to do with it. I did make a small withdrawal today to test it and it worked but I'm not on the new system yet.

    Wondering if PayPal has money or at least cashflow problems and just trying to delay customer withdrawals under BS pretenses...

    I wondered that as well. Lots changing in online payments systems. Paypal in its current form may as well be an old passbook account compared to what's coming.

    my guess is they do not want you withdrawing from your account, as to why i don't know (in america i think it cause they can charge fees, however in Australian they are forced to have an option that is feeless for transferring). Cash flow problem i doubt it they don't have cash flow problem they have balance of payment problem.

    Good idea. Ebay and PayPal are not the friend of sellers, I only use them for purchases when I have to.

    Same PP froze funds in mine also :eek:
    Paypal is penalising sellers for a few reasons it seems

    1.) using the Fee Free "Friends option" ... they want their pound of flesh
    2.) asking for ID confirmation for later reporting ... re: untaxed CGT Black Money

    as soon as my funds are released ... I will be closing my PP account :p
