I see some alarming stories lately online, from people claiming Paypal is withholding their account balance for various reasons. I'm not talking about the "pending" state that Paypal enforces. Now, for some of the cases I read, the users were violating the Terms of Service by misrepresenting themselves as adults when they were minors, providing a false identity etc.
In one conversation on reddit a person claimed that Paypal will "use any excuse they find to keep your money", but I'm not sure how biased that view is. I guess that makes sense in a way, since it's a profit-geared service not unlike a bank, and some banks do this all the time.

Other things that can trigger a freezing or putting a cap on how larga amounts you can process per transaction, like making sudden purchases or transfers with large sums of money. In some cases people who launch their enteprises may be faced with this problem.

Series of chargebacks, bad reviews by other transacting parties, strange IP logins, suspicion of earnings from providing illicit content, products or services, or a bad credit score can be other reasons that attract Paypal's attention to your account.

There are instances of people receiving a 6 month balance-lockdown on balances worth thousands of dollars. While they rarely do this for periods of time >6 months, that small timeframe can be detrimental to people who pay bills through Paypal, or have their entire earnings and savings handled by Paypal.

Have you ever had these kinds of problems with Paypal?
I've never had problems with them, personally.
 
Most people earning big online do prefer payoneer to PayPal cos if PayPal ban or limits an account,it on rare cases such account are retrieved, people kiss their money goodbye most times.

Money sending quite hard on payoneer rather than paypal (instant). I asked a client but he faced complexity and I also dont like payoneer old site (now did not see it for long) but at the end he could pay me via payoneer.

The site is not , the challenge is that most client are subscribers to PayPal so they prefer paying in PayPal, the only way is to withdraw to local currency immediately money lands on PayPal.

Yes most clients ask if I have a paypal true or morevthan that they like to do projects on freelancer as escrow better for them. I wish if we had a fiat payment system with no boundary or verification just like bitcoin that could be awesome and any app could pay easily.
 
I've used PayPal for over 2years now to do all sorts of online transaction and never really gotten any issues with it. I think PayPal is the best online payment system with secure and fast payments. Though sometimes their fees might be high but its worth every penny
Probably you are from the US or you recieve money from very few sites that are on the right page of PayPal or you are naturally lucky.
 
I've seen some people claiming that Paypal's Friends and Family option can be reversed, or disputed. Is that true?

While my country has discontinued that option, I'm just wondering since PP has always been an abuse haven.

PayPal funds can be reversed if someone file a dispute against , it is one of the reasons some accounts are limited.
It is not your country that discontinue the FaF, PayPal did limited that feature.

Whoops, I had a brain fart when I typed that.

KInda sucks when you're a legit buyer but options are so limited. On the other hand as a seller, I do understand why.
 
in my country we can't use paypal sold so we need every month to let paypal withdraw it automatically to our credit card, but paypal doesn't do this in my account they don't withdraw it automatically so every time I need to make it manually and they take 4.50$ fees then I need to contact them and tell them to give it me back
 
The people who face problem with PayPal are mostly countries with one limitations or the other so the best is to study your country's limitation and ensure you don't bridge that, I don't see PayPal having issues if one obey their rules.
 
yeah i had a lot of problems, especially when something sends me huge amounts of dollars (+300$) they will stay investigate about the source of that money)
i really hate that

They are trying as much as possible not to condole illegal transactions on their site.They already have some sites in their Black list so any one recieving money from those sites will face limitations or outright ban.

but sometimes it will be annoyed for persons especially when you need the money for urgent, I remembered that their investigation stayed for more than week and that's absolutely unacceptable

yeah same in my country they keep the credit on hold and they say it's just for 30 days but sometimes they just keep for more than 60 days and you can't do anything about it

That's true but when you have the challenge for the first it will affect your plan but subsequently you don't request for emergency purpose since you already know their modulus operandi

before 10 days they kept 20$ on hold and I couldn't receive it till now, I called for them multiple times and they said to me that we can't reply due to Coronavirus lol. I have already stopped my transaction to Paypal because i lost a lot of money there

I really hate it when they respond late or they send you a bot to respond with some typical random steps to do, you need to push them because after that they will call you
 
I dislike how Paypal holds money for 21 days for new users. But I guess there's no way around it. Payoneer is better though the fee is higher than paypal is when you do small transaction.
 
21 days is just too much for them to old money , what kind of security checks will they be making for 21 days. It so unfortunate that lots of sites uses only PayPal as payment system otherwise they won't be this strict
