Paypal - what happens after 180 days?

[Scorpion Ghost]

For you guys that have lived through the 180 day hold on Paypal hijacking your money. What happens when the 180 days pass?

What withdrawal options do they make available? I read its check and card. True?

Do you have to withdraw all the money in one go, or can you do it little by little?

Are you allowed to add a new card to withdraw to, or do you have to use the one thats already attached to your Paypal account? Lets assume the card is still valid.

You get an email saying you can withdraw. When you login, you can add new bank/card (or use the ones already on there ofc) and withdraw all or some of the money. As far as I know, there's no time for when it needs to be taken out.

Makes sense. Thank you

Yeah why would they put a time or force you to withdraw it all at once. The main reasons these sonsabitches lock your money for 180 is so they can bank on interest while you sit around like a dummy with your dick in your hand.

Oh i know i know, chargebacks, disputes, bla bla bla.

As far as I know you're only allowed to add US bank accounts to Paypal. And from what I was reading on another forum, the bank account doesn't have to be in the same name as the Paypal account, but don't quote me on that.

Somewhat correct.

Adding a US bank account is not available in every country, in fact it's not in many country, so you can only add domestic bank accounts there or nothing in some cases. As long as the name mismatch goes, it's not up to PayPal, it's up to the banks whether they compare the names or not. It varies by bank.

I had a limited account a while back, i made a new bank account and after 180 days when the money became available for withdrawal, i withdrew normally without any issues although there was a name mismatch, because it was a fake PayPal with fake details.

I wouldn't know about every country, but in my country you're allowed to add a US bank account or a VISA debit card that you get from your bank, which is tied to your bank account of course.

So when you say it's up to the banks, you mean they will refuse the Paypal withdrawal and return the money if the bank account and Paypal account are not in the same name???

Well, I don't know where you live, but I assume the Paypal in your country allows you add a bank account from your country to it. And then it was just a matter of finding a bank that won't have a problem with the name mismatch when the money comes in. Right?

I live in Central Europe. I can add both domestic and US bank account, but for example in France, you can't add a US bank account.

And yes, that's what i meant. Some banks don't compare the names, if the bank account number is correct, the withdrawal goes through even if there's a name mismatch. Then there are banks, which care about the names too and the withdrawal gets reversed, if there's a mismatch despite the account number is being correct. It has nothing to do with PayPal, it's fully up to the banks.

Good to know. I didn't know that. I thought all countries can add a US bank account, and VISA debit cards, and that's that.

So I guess one would be lucky to live in your country and operate stealth Paypals. No worries about withdrawing the money, because you can just open a new bank account for each account whenever you need. I mean, even if there's only 1 bank that this can work with, you can just close and open accounts at the same bank every time you need, I would imagine. Use friends and family members, etc.

Yea, most certainly you can do that. When i made the withdrawal i mentioned above, i opened that bank account just for that purpose, i closed it soon after i cashed out. There was no or very minimal fee.

You can try to add your Payoneer bank account info on Paypal. Some people reported success and say it works, most people didn't manage to do it. It's worth a shot I guess.

Have you ever scammed someone, break a sellers/buyers TOS multiple times, or Paypal's TOS?

Probably their TOS, I only sold virtual items (not gaming related) and everyone got what they paid for. I did not have any unsatisfied customers.
