Hello, I'm in a pickle and hope to find solutions from you guys. I would ofc reward any tip/trick that leads me to solving this mess. Unless it's against forum rules - then scratch that. I just figure it's common praxis to give a token of appreciation in the same manner as when you get your lost wallet back or something. Which basically is what this is, but in digital form.
I have a random personal account on PayPal that I started just to send and recieve money between friends; poker/dinner checks/trips/bar tabs etc. etc. And now, the amount of incoming money has reached that point (€2500) where their automatic system triggers a "hold" on the account until they get verification that I am me. The problem is that I created this account with a fictive name - I did not know or forsee that I was gonna have this problem and thought I could name myself whatever I wanted. Apparently not. Yes, yes I know - it sounds careless, but it's not like I'm running a scam here - I just had a joke name. And now €2500+ is locked up there because of a silly name.
I've checked to see if my senders can request a refund and we can move the money that way, but either them or me has the option to refund the transfers. Can I wait 180 days and move the money after that? Or what will happen after 180 days?
Anyone know a way out of this?
