I'm just thinking about something, wondering.
Let's say Paypal bans you on the 10th of January and holds your money for 180 days (say $10k).
You contact them with a message trying to get them to review your account, to see that your account never had any chargebacks and is in perfect standing, asking them to consider allowing you to withdraw at least some of the money before the 180 day deadline.
They get back to you and basically say: "No, you can't have the money. We're holding it for 180 days from the moment of the last payment your received, which was on the 16th of January"
Okay, now, Paypal is a stickler for the rules right? I can login to my account and clearly see that the last payment I received is on the 10th of January, which is also the date when I received the email that my PP account is perma banned. And I have their reply telling me that the money is frozen for 180 days from the last payment I received, and they say that date is the 16th of January.
Wait just a second. So what they're telling me is that they're holding the money for 186 days, not 180 days. Isn't the deal 180 days? Isn't this breaking their own rule? Wait just a second Mr Terms of Agreement, this is not the agreement.
Does this open them to legal action? I have what I consider undeniable proof here.
p.s I believe the reason their system counts the last payment 6 days later than the correct date is because I had an eCheck payment in progress which I received a few days before I got banned, and it was pending clearance at the time of ban. And that payment was cancelled and refunded about 6 days after the ban.
BUT, that payment was received days before the ban, so technically, according to their support words, and according to what can be seen if I login to my account, they're wrong on this, and they're holding my money for 186 days now.
Lawsuit? Harvey Specter? Suits?
