See this is where i seriously am thinking about contacting my lawyer and sueing their ass down to the ground, first off ive never been filed against by anyone, they just feel like harrassing random people now and then, i even gave them what they asked me for first, then thats obviously enough, now they want all my personal information i mean Who the fuck does they think they are ?.

Should be possible to call the police on them here , they just cant withheld your money without proper evidence that anything foul has gone on, i mean they locked 450 euro of mine for nothing, ive slowly been building money up by selling some stuff here and there and now finally decided to withdraw the money to my bank account, but after i did that, BANG !, money withheld.

Well, first off, make sure you are actually dealing with Pay Pal and not some company trying to scam you.

I don't know what you were selling but apparently  they feel it was suspicious.

What are you talking about? I see nothing in this post that provides any context whatsoever, let alone any reason why any of us should be reading this.

It's a required check for merchants before they will send the money to you. The obvious reason is, well there's way too many fraudsters out there on the internet and once they send a cheque to a merchant there's no way they can stop it from being encashed. They just want to know if you are exactly who you claim to be. No you can't sue them because it's part of their operating procedure and would you honestly spend $$$$ (hundreds of thousands of dollars in lawyer fees) just try to get your $500 euros ? I know you maybe angry at the extra procedure but it's all part of the security feature in paypal.

OMG I have been to hell and back with Pay[not your]Pal. They are 100% crooks. They had a class action lawsuit against them a few years ago, but now its over and they are still scamming people from their own money.  Long story short with me: I sold a bunch of goods on ebay, i have had my account for years and transferred plenty of money before out of my paypal account. Well, this time I was withdrawing a little more than my usual since I sold things worth more. Next thing I know-they cancel my transfer-slap a restriction on my account and freeze everything. They request all kinds of confidential records to try and lift the damn limited access, i provided evrything I could to them. But it wasn't good enough for them and for some reason they sent me a email saying my account is too risky etc. and they want to part ways, I said fine just give me my remaining balance(which was still a good amount, but still under $1000). BUT they said oh no, we can't release these funds until 6 months because there could be chargebacks up until then(COMplete BULL). I was furious(still am) and wanted to get a lawyer and everything, but i decided to wait the six months. Next month(October)  is when my six months is up-so help me god if they do not give me my remaining funds I WILL put a lawyer on it.

And Paypal isnt really a bank so I think they don't have to comply with laws like that. And there a completely online business so you can't talk to anyone about it face to face. These people are crooks and thiefs!

So welcome to the club my man, this isn't uncommon, in fact you can find A LOT of stuff anti-paypal on google, everyone hates them. Check out www.paypalsucks.com. good luck.

guess im lucky then. i received 1300 bucks from someone for a transaction and i tried to xfer it to my bank account, this was at 3 am, and within the hour they freakin reversed the transaction, took the money into a freeze and was "investigating" it. took them a stupid full 10 "calendar days" for whatever reason cause my account had apparently never handled that much money before. least i got it all though.

This is why i don't use paypal.I refuse to let anyone except my own bank handle my cash.I've got my VISA for paying online games.Awhile back i wanted to resub for lotro wich couldn't because somehow their system didn't take my VISA wich i use for all my online games.They then toldme to either buy a gamecard - wich is more expensive then subbing- or use paypal.I refused to do both and quit playing LOTRO.I don't trust paypal.The chance they fck you is small...but it's still possible and you have no reall "connection" with them when you try to reset what's been wrong.

It is the real paypal im using and thats what happened to me as well , i allready provided them with what they wanted. , but no no thats not enough , give us more of your confidential records.

This is where i pull the plug and say enough is enough, they dont have a right to view my confidential papers, there not even a bank or anything else within  any goverment.
