I'm usually quite calm but when I realised I didn't have a chance of getting my money released I asked for a supervisor, who removed the hold altogether.

After almost loosing it with them, .......they still put you through to a supervisor !!!  wow, didnt' lie to you and say they were all at lunch.

The FOS responded within 24-hours.
Then inside of 48-hours after that I had a message from PayPal acknowledging they had released the hold on my funds.
We have not had any other hold on any other funds after that, so it seems permanent once you open a case against them

It's already flippin' cold! I am so close to turning the heater on. I keep going outside to warm up, but it's not really that warm out there either. I can barely feel my hands! I have to go to work this afternoon, so hopefully a hot shower will see me right.

can you imagine how much interest paypal earn, holding millions of dollars of funds worldwide for 21 days?

dear all...

 

this morning i wrote this to paypal...

 

i have been selling on ebay for in excess of five years with 100% positive feedback and over 600 transactions spread over three accounts yet my funds have been frozen.

 

i have not agreed to the new paypal terms of freezing funds for 21 days.

 

i wrote of my complaint and was twice sent a bot initiated form letter.

 

(private information omitted here).  i have insurance bills to pay.

 

i insist my funds are made immediately accessible to me.

 

must i open a case with the financial ombutsman service before i see some action?

 

 

within hours i received this response...

 

 

thank you for contacting paypal. i have made adjustments to your account so you should not experience the holds on your account. going forward.  if this happens please let us know.  i have released all pending funds and made them available to you. i apologize fot the inconvenience.
