Just a word of warning to those who use paypal on a regular basis.

Ive used paypal for a few years or so now, recently after recieving some payments for some items I sold I tried to withdraw the money (over £600) and my account was frozen.

Upon contacting them, and getting passed around department to department I was told my account would be frozen for 180 (yes, one HUNDRED and EIGHTY) days as part of their anti-fraud measures.


So now, untill the 13th of september, paypal has over 600quid of my hard earned.

As such, I will no longer be using paypal to sell any of my stuff worth over 50quid or so.



Im quite pi$$ed off at the moment to say the least.

Can't you do anything about it?

The only thing i can do is file against them through a solicitor, but then they have 90 days to reply, which is half the time, by the time it actually gets resolved through courts or whatever it would be quicker just to wait out the 180 days...
