    PayPal lures you in for a time then they hold your funds. The steps it takes to unlock your money takes you into a repetitive circle. This guy is right! They don’t do it to every single person, but enough for them to make millions. They waited until I had hundreds in sales before they struck. I don’t know why the government doesn’t shut them down. Their customer service just mocks you with sarcasm and sends you the same steps over and over. They’re simply evil. Please don’t be their next victim!

      There's this uploader called Beast of Ecom who I bet was paid by Paypal to act as spokesperson and say Paypal is not truly evil. He refers to them like theyre not so bad after all. SAying things like Paypal is human, Just be persistent because eventually you will get your money, giving tips on be nice in everything you and do naturally the gods will smile down and you and there will be butterfiles and fairies!
      Maaannn I've followed all these rules and made sure every transaction made on PP was legit to the T. but guesss what? I still got FU*@ed in the @$$
      This guy had "80k" frozen by the Devil, yet somehow the way he refers to Paypal feels like their BFFs! His deamenour is not someone who was screwed over on a large amount. Heck, even rich People get fired up if sombody screws them over $500. SMH I've watched every video of victims relating to Paypal limiting accounts and they all speak truthfully. Like a scorned victim rightfully so.
      So yes, he did eventually get his money back after a lenghty period of following Paypal's every order (Hitler-ish) after jumping over hoops of fire yet with no degree of certainty if it will work at all. Every waking hour you hope and pray anxiously, Im sure everyone will relate as you wait day to day for Paypal golden Nod for you to finally get the money.. Money that was 100% yours to begin with. SMHHHHH Imagine the psychological damage it brings to those who truly were in need of that money.
      Paypal holds your hard earned money, puts up an electric fence and says NO NO NO and despite the fact that they've alreaady charged you ridiculous fees at the get-go.
      My points are:
      1) The act of generating an income is never easy.
      2) When you do eventually come up with your business plan, then comes the act of performing an actual SALE. Tons of variables in that like customer buying mood, convincing the cust, competitor challenges etc etc etc
      3) After sweating it out and finally get a Sale, here comes Paypal flashing their "I can limit your account" BADGES like they the FBI!
      *** So in essence, the MONEY that I drew sweat blood tears, is not really my money???

    First of all I'd like to thank you for the video. Sorry for what you and others have experienced. However, I am grateful that I had zero in my pay pal account when a lien was placed on it by the tax controller's office (I can put money in, but cannot withdraw funds.) The tax controller's office tried to collect money from me, not because money was owed, but because they claim I did not file 0 taxes, during the period in question. However, I do have records of speaking with someone and reporting 0 taxes. What's sad is that these people have no problem with misuse of your social. Since I've tried to use my gifts (writer/designer) to help others (charities etc.) I've be met with opposition. My goal is to have attorneys on board so I can effectively do what I am passionate about which is to use my gifts to provide solutions. Again thank you.

    I was scrolling through some old orders I'd placed with suppliers and found quite a few that I had not received or been refunded for, so I decided to make some refund claims via paypal. There were about 8 such orders, but I only put in claims for the most recent 3. A few weeks pass, when out of the blue, paypal basically accused me of making fraudulent claims and restricted my account. This all happened yesterday, but so far, my account is still functional. The strange thing is, paypal have twice before told me they're closing my account for reasons unknown, yet nothing ever happened; I'm hoping this will be the case this time: and do they not understand the punch in the gut terror they put people through with these threats and unjustified suspensions, or do they simply not give a damn? I know, stupid questions.

    Once your account is permanently limited, do a complete refund to your customer so the money goes back to them. But before you do that, contact your buyer and ask them to do an alternative payment to you. Maybe even give them 5-10% off. If they trust you, they will send you the money via a bank deposit or Skrill and then you do a refund so PayPal can’t hold onto that money for 180 days anyway.
    If you don’t have a bank account linked to your limited PayPal account, you’ll never get your money back even after 180 days. I lost $100 that way. They can’t/won’t release your money even if it’s $5 or $5000.
    Case closed. Phuck PayPal..

    • @ProjectSuccessMastery
      @ProjectSuccessMastery  5 років тому +2

      Very true. The problem is that we live in a world where people are so unethical and refunding money to people could end up with them just disappearing with the refund. I'm generalising of course. And true... If you haven't got a bank account linked, you are screwed. It pains me to see people opening accounts with fake details and then wondering why they get limited or can't withdraw money. And I agree with your sentiments about PayPal. Lol... They suck.

      Sorry to hear about the limit. I would still open a BBB case regardless. If you have a USA account (you can only link that) then it should be OK.

    I've just started using PayPal just a few days ago I nabbed a few clients already but Paypal's holding my money hostage. My first client isn't from the US so they told me they would hold the money and supposedly give it after 7 days of verification whatever the hell that means.
    My third client sent his payment a day ago and Paypal held it hostage again telling me that they'll release it within 1 day of delivery.
    But the real confusing part is that when my second client paid up Paypal immediately gave the funds a few minutes after and yet they still haven't given the payments from my 1st and 3rd clients. Just to add more flame to the fire they sent me an email stating that my funds will be given 21 days after I get them unless I complete their bullshit list of requirements so I am no new seller anymore.
    I mean I can smell bullshit from a mile away, man. They shroud this reasoning with "we just wanna make sure that you ain't a shady fellow" sort of deal but when in reality they just love holding up your money for whatever nefarious goals they have. I don't know anymore if I want to continue my ventures with Paypal anymore.

      1. Find your passion.
      2. Find a problem, then solve it. This video is case in point. It focusses on a very big problem which I sincerely try to solve. It's on a quarter of a million views.
      3. Don't be greedy. Always give back.
      4. Read books.
      5. Don't waste your time on nonsense. Life is short and goes by in a blink of an eye.
      6. ALWAYS be honest.
      7. Be grateful.
      8. Love your friends and family. They will always be there for you, no matter what.
      9. Don't fear failure. You learn from it.
      10. NEVER give up on yourself.

      I sold a jumper on depop a week ago, and PayPal has my money on hold, I’ve edited tracking information even though the girl received her jumper and they still have my money on hold

    I'm surprised you said there is nothing we can do about it ( When it comes to paypal treating theirs customers like trash). I've been a victim of that conduct as well. So let me tell you something. We the people are the ones who are empowering these high profile corporations by using their services ( Case of paypal let them manage our money). So if we as a whole aren't satisfy there are legal ways ( Not sue the company it's a waste of time), actually boycotting the company by setting a world petition against companies who don't respect us. simple let us not give them our business period. They can't survive if we as a whole decide to withdraw our business like any business how big or small their lifeblood is the customers. So never encourage these companies to get away with their disrespectful attitude because they feel they are bigger than the customers who provide them with business.

    I worked for Paypal. They are crooks like you don't even know. They will hold funds in order to make interest on YOUR MONEY. Avoid them at all costs. Ebay sucks also...

    Thank you for this video. It's an eye-opener. I had issues with them too. Paypal held my money for 30 days, Like, I don't know why There is no one in Paypal to talk to. I am a Freelance VA from the Philippines, and I deserve to receive my payment because I work hard for it.
